So picture this; for whatever reason the Pokemon anime is being refreshed and they are replacing Ash as the lead. But that's not important; the new kid's main Pokemon WON'T be Pikachu, but it will still need to be an abnormally strong first-stage that will refuse to evolve. What would you want this new 'mascot' Pokemon to be?

>Tokyo Ghoul
Clefairy
Togedemaru. Too long of a name tho.
>>28089750
Bagon. It dgafs about flying, it wants to be the headiest butter of all time.
mega charizard x
>>28089750
Rockruff, obviously
>>28089767
This. Alternatively Aron.
Scyther.
I think there a few options, but if its S&M we're talking, better go with one from that generation. My personal vote? Alolan Meowth.
>it will still need to be an abnormally strong first-stage that will refuse to evolve
This anon knows what's up >>28089807
>>28089750
Could it be the second stage too? Sense pikachu is technically a second evolution?
Croagunk seems like a good choice.
>>28089886
Sure, why not. I don't make the rules.
>>28089750
the only correct option is eevee
>>28089929
I think metang would be a pretty cool pick then.
>>28089886
Not OP, but I'd say only if the first form is a baby pokemon. So shit like Jigglypuff, Maril, or Magmar would be okay. Maybe other shit with worthless first forms.
>>28089975
Thats why I asked. Beldum cant takedown everything with just takedown.
>>28089961
I think it would be hilarious to see a Pokemon as obscure as Metang overmarketed and merchandised as much as Pikachu was.
Espurr <3
>>28089988
Maybe I'm just high, but Didn't Beldum get Zen Headbutt and Iron Head recently?
>>28089994
Same here. But I think metang has the stats and movepool to get the MC through whatever, and has the appearance to draw people in.
>>28090042
It did as move tutor moves. But that still only 3 moves for the MC's main pokemon.
>>28090061
Honestly I'd prefer Metagross in such an instance, what with the whole four-legs-better-than-two and a signature move in Meteor Mash. Metagross has more potential as a fighter since its physiology lets it do more than Metang.
>>28089750
Teddiursa.
Buizel or Marill
>>28090084
Metagross is better in all categories. But this isn't about a fully evolved pokemon.
>>28089750
it should be eevee
>>28089762
this
tough jigglypuff was the original mascot
>>28089750
Deino
>>28089956
>>28090314
These probably
>>28089762
I have a good feeling Pokemon would never have caught on like it did if they stuck with Clefairy
Stufful
>>28089922
I'd agree if I didn't like Toxicroak so much.
>>28095889
At least they would have a very good reason not to evolve it
Because Bewear is fucking shit
>>28095999
confirmed
Eevee.
Give Eevee a Normal type evolution and make its evolution into it the first time it appears in the series.
>>28095999
Hey fuck off, Bewear is cool. I can't wait to see the Karenfag tears when it turns out to be top OU.
