Why do you think anime Mimikyu hates Pikachu so much?

>>31461066
I'd argue all Mimikyu hate Pikachu out of jealousy, since they're so much more popular despite being way weaker than Mimikyu. Kinda like how /vp/ hates Zard.

Anime mimikyu was strong before Jessie caught him

>>31461066
What does it think about Raichu?

Raichu is the only part of this evolution line that I still like after all this time. Alolan Raichu is okay, too.

>>31461092
I'm no less in the dark.

>>31461092
headcanon fucking accepted

>>31461092
What are they implying is under the cloth?

>>31463349
Mimikyu is Porygon. He's back for revenge after Pikachu caused the incident that got him banned from the anime.

How come all the fan art has Mimikyu wanting to be friends with Pikachu?

>>31461066
Go ask this in your containment thread.

Vengeance for his bro Porygon which the Pika framed.

>>31463485
>studio fucks up
>somehow Porygon is banned from the show
>earthquake happens
>all ground moves sans mud slap are banned from the show
Fucking nuke the producers already.

>>31463485
It's really fucking hard to see the image of Porygon under that edit.

>>31463591
Not really.

>guys Pikachu is actually really popular in universe XD

I hate Pikachu too. They're not even trying to hide their genwun pandering anymore.

>>31463615
For people who have already seen it maybe. I only could tell what it was after someone said it was Porygon.

>>31463639
Me too, I have hated pikachu with an undying passion since gen 4 when I started seeing it for the shitmon it truly is, my first version was Blue, so I didn't have the anime sellout edition where brock would steamroll you if you tried to use only pikachu

Now I think about it, it really doesn't make sense. How did pikachu become popular in the animeverse, when the reason Pikachu became popular IS the anime?

>>31463937
Other way around. It was chosen for the anime because it was already extremely popular.

Remember the games had been around for nearly a year at the time the anime premiered.

>>31463937
The Pokemon Pocket Monsters manga by Kosaku Anakubo gets referenced in an anime episode as being a series ash liked as a kid, and stars a boy who has a Pikachu and Clefairy. Maybe that?

>>31463984
Why the fuck would pikachu become popular from the game? His red/green sprite is so fat it looks closer to raticate than anime pikachu and even in gen 1 he was a complete shitmon, nigga couldn't even help with the first gym.

>>31464039
Marketing. Toys. Played a major role in the original Pokemon manga.

Might as well ask why Eevee became one of the most popular gen 1 mons despite appearing in a single gen 1 anime episode and being a colossal shitmon.

>>31464039
The Pocket Monsters manga where Red has a Clefairy and a Pikachu.

>>31461066

It's the Pokemon equivalent of Frank Grimes.

>>31463542
Because that is one interpretation. Another is that of kill and replace. Another is that Pikachu appearance will lure prey to it. Yet another is that it hates itself and wants to be another being. Mimicry, fae, and ghosts all together makes for a mysterious being.

Probably pic related.

>tfw they will make yet another Pikachu Vs Raichu episode with the Alolan form instead to shit on Raichu even more

>>31463569
>tfw torterra jobs like shit because it's forced to use fucking rock climb as a replacement
>cheer for him as a kid when he's up against electivire Grenigger style because i can see the victory
>keeps using rock climb
>not a single ground move
>turn TV off

>>31463937
This is contradicted furthermore by the fact that literally no one but Ash uses Pikachu because "muh special"

>>31464390
>not using your bro

>>31464162
I have no idea what this is but it made me laugh real hard

>>31461066
where is that copy pasta with lopunny and pikachu in it.

Mimikyu is dead Clefairy

>>31463937
99% of Electric types are pieces of shit. Pikachu gets points for being cute at least

>>31464250
Seeing how friendly and supportive the characters in this show are, I expect Alola Raichu to be a cool dude that teaches Pikachu how to surf or something like that

>>31465097
Alternatively, it could be the signature Pokemon of Hau when he shows up in the anime and become a reoccuring rival

>>31461075
Totem Mimikyu proves you wrong

>>31464390
Yeah, that too. Outside of Ash, you rarely ever see pikachu in the anime. If it's supposed to be extremely popular, they're not doing a good job of showing it.

>yfw there's an alternate universe where Clefariy is the popular one and face of the franchise and killed the franchise's RPG roots

>>31463569
>nuke the producers
>Fire types no longer allowed in the show

>>31463569
>what is bulldoze

>>31463937
I don't think Pikachu is popular in the anime-verse as it is in the game-verse now; maybe that's why they made Mimikyu hate him in the anime, because they realized the popularity motivation would make much sense.

>>31463937
What about the episode with the pikachu festival or whatever on the cruise ship. I thought it was generally well liked in the anime-verse
