If Ash wasn't stupid enough to have his Pikachu go up against a Gym Leader's Raichu, he'd have probably evolved it by now.
ash is a cūck

But pikachu is the one who doesn't want to evolve
Pikachu still trained harder and won the second match. Thats one of the best episodes you unovabortion
>>28501471
It's the thickest plot armor episode.

Calm down kid. I know you're upset you never got to experience Pokemon in the 90s.
>>28501471
That was a ridiculous episode. Pikachu shouldn't have been able to beat that Raichu but was able to because the writers made it happen. There are still people who think that if they evolve Pikachu in-game before it learns agility, it'll be a slow Raichu when it evolves.

They weren't as good as the 80s, but they were still better a LOT better than the 2000s.
>>28501471
nah, I'm really sick of children's media having the "if you try hard enough and believe hard enough, you can do anything" moral.

No, the Mossdeep Gym battle is the one with literal plot armor.

>anime says that any Pokemon can defeat any Pokemon
>this is obviously not true even in the anime
>>28502086
But wouldn't it still have to train and try harder if Ash had evolved Pikachu?
>It's another "people don't understand the anime doesn't work like the games" episode
Why would anybody evolve Pikachu when all Raichus are cunts?
>>28502044
They weren't up to Raichu's level, they just developed a counter to it. Raichu was still stomping them until they decided to start dodging its attacks.
>>28503099
>all Raichus are cunts
Seems like another reason to evolve Pikachu.
Honestly lads, been watching Pokemon Indigo for the first time ever, since I was like 8 and had one show with only four episodes. Ash is a huge disappointment, basically an egalitarian "friendship is magic!" faggot.
>>28501471
Yeah and look at how much good it did at the Pokemon Le-
Oh.
Oh right.
>>28503099
Not all Raichus are like that. But admittedly, the bully raichus are my favorites.

>still blaming pikachu for the loss
It ko'd 2 psuedos and did good damage to charizard

>cūck
He's a Cucumber?
I want Raichu to body slam me with it's ass
So? Can we all agree that Raichu > Pikashit
