What's your opinion on Pikachu?
>>27752771
Pikachu is cute and iconic.
>>27752771
>is a cute
>being a mascot means that Nintendo will shove it down our throats, leading to distaste
>still a cute though
>>27752771
I unironically like it. It isn't in my top ten, but probably in my top 30
He's a character I was mostly indifferent about (though I've always been a huge fan of Raichu,) but I've found myself maining him in Pokken and Sm4sh, so I have a fondness for him.
I understand it's a mascot but I still hate seeing it everywhere.
Best chu. Raichufags are obnoxious hipsters.
>>27752771
I'd fuck it.
>>27752825
This nigga knows what's up. OG electric rodent will always be best. Raichu is a lame afterthought and a poor design.
>>27752825
Fuck you I like raichu because he is at least is semi good in game. Pikachu just sucks.
I used to dislike him, due to how much his face was all over Pokémon merch, but then I actually sat down and watched the anime and Ash's Pikachu grew on me! Now I like to think the Pikachu we see all over is just Ash's Pikachu saying hey!

t. hipster
>>27752825
>simply liking the fully evolved form makes them hipsters
Nothing wrong with the design, but being the face of a franchise seems to have drained it of all personality and possible attractiveness. Similar situation to Mario
Iffy. Sometimes it's cute, sometimes it's ugly/annoying.
OP's pic is one of the least flattering ones of it with the potato head shape and giant forehead. Fat pikachu > Down Syndrome pikachu.
>>27752771
I personally preffer raichu but pikachu is cool too. My favorite though is alola pikachu, pretty weird they gave it a ghost/fairy typing. Something about it seems a bit off but I just can't tell.
>>27752771
#1 known Pokemon
>>27752771
Not the real mascot.
The real mascot is Charizard and everyone knows this, Pikachu was just forced on us and really wasn't liked.
>>27752879
Raichufag =/= "I like Raichu"
Raichufag = "FUCK PIKACHU RAICHU IS MY BRO RAICHU IS PERFECT WHY DOES GAME FREAK SHIT ALL OVER MY BRO PIKACHU GETS ALL THE ATTENTION :(((("
This also applies to Dewottfags and Dragonairfags, by the way.
It is very cute, but people who say Pikachu is their favorite Pokemon annoy me.
>>27752908
Oh now hush, alola pikachu is fine. It's a tad smaller than I remember and it took me a bit to get used to the smell but it's pretty cute nonetheless.
>>27752771
Wish he looked the way he did in red and blue :/
Fatchu>Merchandise round-head-achu>anime design/current pikachu
Pikachu's great though, I feel like it's a worthy mascot. Just badass and cute enough yet not too badass or girly.
>>27753221
>badass
Are we looking at the same thing? If pikachu came out today everyone would hate it
>>27752771
There's a lot of Pikachu love on here tonight, I dig it. It's not cool to like Pika, but he's a total bro. >>27752849
Pikachu kicks ass in game, have you ever used him? T-bolt and Grass knot made him my ace many times.
lewd
>>27753221
>deformed merchandise Pikachu
>not the worst
>>27752825
>liking a gen 1 Pokemon since 1998 makes you a hipster
>>27752771
It's the mascot of the Pokémon franchise.
It's suppose to be most popular and everything other.
I like the 90s chubby one with white belly and cheeks, as per RB sprite, early official artwork and that one TCG illus
>>27752983
God I love alolan pikachu
>>27752771
i don't know why people hate him so much just for being the mascot, i mean, he's pushed but if you compare it to other mascots likeYoukai Watchand others where there's a million mascot redesigns, it isn't so bad
the closest we've got are the Pikaclones, and they are still very different from the original design
I hate rats so I hate pikachu, that applies to rattata too
>>27752771
Kinda overexposed, but not a bad choice as mascot. Wish they'd promote Pokemon other than it, the starters, Meowth and Lucario a bit more.
>>27753240
Didn't you hear the news? Pikachu just deep dicked two pseudos and memezard
>>27755404
It's physically impossible for them to dick suck lucario harder. The shit heel has a 5 story statue of him, what the fuck more do you want?
I still have my talking Pikachu plush from the 90s. Fatchu a best.
It doesn't turn on, but I'm too lazy to get the batteries replaced. It's cute on its own, though.
>>27755414
That anon was saying that Lucario is with the group of over-exposed 'mons.
I don't like Anime/Ash Pikachu, but I like Pikachu in the games. Raichu is one of my favorites.
>>27755433
When I was a kid, and I wanted these to be soft, I would perform the equivalent of a hysterectomy and cut out the battery. Still have some of these guys crammed away somewhere. Had about 6 of em.
>>27752771
it's cute but I'm tired of having it shoved down my throat
I prefer pachirisu
>>27752771
Raichu>Pichu>Pikachu
Still like them all though
