its distinctive appearance is similar to that of Pikachu
I like how fat and cute he is
>>58244534i genuinely don't think there is a bigger cuckmon than raichu at this point
>>58244534We know. Game Freak just tried a strategy in order to have a "Mega Pikachu" without technically having Mega Pikachu because if they did, people would shit on Game Freak even more for choosing the biggest shillmon of all time.I am honestly surprised that people aren't calling out Game Freak for the blatant Kanto pandering here because now we have a THIRD kantoshit pokemon with two megas, and I wouldn't be surprised if the amount of Kanto megas surpasses the amount of Hoenn megas after the DLC.
>>58244544I like how its distinctive appearance is similar to that of Pikachu
>>58244567it sucks, sure, but if there was a single other kantomon they could justify two megas for it would be the one from the mascot linecertainly better than charizard getting two megas while its two allegedly equal equivalents get one
>>58244544
>>58244534Pikachu is pokemons mascot.Its the mascot of a massively successful franchise.Its design is iconic, recognizable, and makes absolute sense would it would continue to be used and be liked.
>>58245999So make Mega Pikachu. Don't shit on Raichu.
>>58245743Horses can't vomit dummy.
>>58244545either that or flygon, but at least they wanted to give flygon a mega>b-b-but they gave raichu two so clearly they wante-no. no they fucking did not. they gave PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUU two megas and slapped it on raichu as a technicality.
>>58246259>Raichu has elemnts of its previous evolution in its design so its a pikachu megaNo one said anything similar about mega dragonite despite doing the same thing with dragonair.Raichufags are so insecure its funny.
>>58246259>either that or flygonmeh. I don't really get why people feel like flygon is SO entitled to a mega. like, there's a lot of fucking Pokemon that don't have megas, why is it so egregious that Flygon specifically is among them?
>>58246647i've seen people complain about that but i can't tell if it's people falseflagging as dragonite fans to ragebait the crowd that doesn't like the changes between 'nair and 'nite. plus dragonite isn't being constantly overshadowed by its prevo, making it less egregious in its case>>58246666fair enough. flygon's just a fan favorite of the region so you would think they'd give the popular hoenn mon a mega in the hoenn game with mega evolution, but then again flygon gets special treatment from fans, not GF. nice quads btw
>>58246688>plus dragonite isn't being constantly overshadowed by its prevo, making it less egregious in its casePeople find egregious precisely because they are butthurt. I don't care whatsoever about Pikachu getting shilled over Raichu and I feel the same way about Mega dragonite as I do about Mega raichu. The issue here lies with the "raichufags" and pikachu living rent free in their head.
>>58244534>horn-like fur>furThe only interesting part of the design was giving it actual horns...
>>58244534>its distinctive appearance is similar>distinctive>similar
>>58246009Raichus must die so that pikachu must live.No one cares about raichu except you, the world doesnt cater to your needs, wants, likes, and tastes, grow up fattyfatty boombalati
>>58244534Nah X is closer to Pikachu than Y. X is uglier too.
>>58246247i know right, isn't AI great? you can make visual representations of all things impossible
>>58247510Biting commentary
>>58246647Dragonite gets it from the other direction that is still identifiable as Dragonite instead of a bigger Dragonair.
>>58244534>pure electric type>no useful resistances>no STAB that hits ground (the most common type in OU)>still a sp*cial attacker so it gets walled by BlisseygarbagePLEASE tell me X is fighting type and has Ice Punch
>>58248680>Fighting typenope >Ice Punch I was going so say yes since so many physical attackers get it, but I double checked and it seems Raichu DOESN'T get Ice Punch and never has had it. so I guess the Mega Raichus will just have to eat shit I guess...
>>58248719Fucking garbage. One again Raichu gets nothing. Pikachu gets a little bit of extra marketing from this and that's it. Might as well strip Volt Tackle from it and force it to use Supercell or Wild Charge. Fuck this stupid series.
>>58248677Probably because base Raichu is a bigger Pikachu to begin with?
>>58248677If anything that's more my issue with Mega Dragonite. It doesn't do enough to satisfy Dragonair fans to justify taking features of it instead of building on Dragonite's design
>>58248729They're gonna want Mega Pikachu Y to be good and any move he knows would have to be known by Raichu and Mega Raichu X
>>58247494>Powerpuff ass and for some reasonAnon, I...
>>58246247But I can.
>>58246647This shit is just as ugly
>>58244567> Mega Pikachu because if they did, people would shit on Game Freak even more for choosing the biggest shillmon of all time.Game freak legit doesn’t care about the hate they get. Strike that,>>58244567 they actively revel in treating fans like shit because they know Pokémon fans are the only fanbase stupid or buckbroken enough to ask for more after game freak shits in their mouth. It’s a power tripThe real reason Raichu got Pikachu-like megas instead of just giving pikachu the megas is because of the rule about megas only going to fully evolved pokemon.
>>58246647Above all, no one has said anything similar about:-Mega Tyranitar, which takes Larvitar's horn, its red belly, and whose body shape, not to mention its limbs, is reminiscent of Pupitar.-Mega Metagross, which looks like a fusion between Metang and Metagross, with more arms. It also has a spike under its face, a bit like Metang's nose.-Mega Ampharos, which grows wool like its pre-evolutions.-Mega Mewtwo Y, which tries to become physically closer to Mew.-Mega Salamence, which is like its ancestor Roaring Moon.-Mega Aerodactyl, which is the form Aerodactyl had when it was alive, before being fossilized and seeing its DNA degrade over the centuries.There's nothing shocking about this; this mechanic is based on life energy and genetics. So there's nothing shocking about inheriting certain traits from a Pokémon that's genetically related, or that is at a lower stage of evolution (growth).What makes Dragonite and Raichu relevant is just that it used to be more subtle or they didn't explicitly state it.
>>58248719I mean they could grant it. Kyurem-Black had a joke movepool until SV DLC.
