>pikachu serves no purpose in the anime anymore Should've

Pikachu is brand recognition.
Even if Pikachu is just a walking prop it is still invaluable.

He helped Lillie get better at battling and with overcoming her fear.

>>33557951
But lillie serves no purpose either

>>33557971

She's the main girl, so of course she does.

She's this gen's equivalent of Misty/May/Dawn/Iris/Serena.

>>33557916
He is on the same ship as Ash. Pikachu cannot have character development in a merchandise driven Anime that never ends.

>>33557971
wait until UB arc.

>Lillie the equivalent of Misty
You fucking wish faggot.

>>33558222

In the sense that she's the show's current main female character, yes, she is.

Some Serenafags also have a hateboner against her for replacing Serena the same way some Mistyfags hated May when she replaced Misty.

I wanted to kill all those Misty fans who hated May. Most of them were just whiny 12-13 year olds back then.

>>33557984
>Iris
Literally worthless.

>>33558301

I would rim pikachus hairy fluffy tight juicy man snatch and suck off his yellow rocket until little pichus cover every inch of my body and fill my asshole to the rim

>>33558678
Why the fuxk am I laughing

Fuck you

>>33557916
The anime itself serves no purpose anymore

>>33557916
>implying Ash still serves a purpose

Pikachu will always be cute and he was strongk off the bat in SM. And regardless, how does any other character serve more of a "purpose"? The anime is a big ad, it just has to be charming enough.
