>>27446969
To cute.

>>27446969

an unique kind of Pichu who can't evolve.

I actually wish that they'd do more gen-exclusive events like this

On the opposite, I would love to have my pichu in sun and moon just for nostalgic value, as in, have him for generations.

Pichu is clearly found in the wild so you don't have to worry

>>27446969

To introduce breeding and baby pokemon

Also Fuck Gen 4 for pushing this further by having you breed a SPECIFIC WAY to get said baby pokemon

To sell merchandise.

>>27446969

They needed to fill the gap that the Celebi event was originally going to do

They wanted to remind people that Pichu learns Volt Tackle for the Pika family

so they made a special one as advertisement
