Mega Evolutions are supposed to generally (not always) be 'where the evolution line ended but just a little bit more and with some edge'. The Pikachu line having stylized ears and tails is a theme throughout the line. Raichu is a mon always under the shadow of Pikachu. It gets two megas that follow the typical pattern of mega evolution design. It's great. Yes, I know you're going to cry about Mega Raichu X looking a bit like Pikachu from the lighter yellow coloring. THE EARS AND FANGED TEETH ARE HALLMARK RAICHU ELEMENTS.The only shame is its debuting in the meh spin-off series that has real-time combat that isn't an adequate replacement of the traditional combat.Base Raichu is a top-tier final evo. Alolan Raichu is a top-tier regional variant. 2 megas given to Raichu. Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y are top-tier megas. Yup, Raichu won the whole series.
SIMILAR TO PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>58250685Found the redditurd shill
>>58250707The long tail is a total Raichu design motif. As are then orange coloring, and curlsy whisps on the second pair of ears or whatever those y horns are. Yeah, it looks similar to Pikachu. Raichu looks similar to Pikachu. Mega Raichu Y also looks similar to Raichu.
>Mega evolves raichu >it's just mega pikachu Lmao
X looks okayish but the pose is retarded. Y is garbage.
>>58250742X is levitating through electormagnetism which explains the pose.
>>58250685The only, ONLY flaw I have with Mega Raichu is that one of them isn't A. Raichu.
>>58250685oh my sciencePikach- I mean Raichu X is shaped like an X, and Raichu Y is shaped like a Y!
>>58250707I legit thought these where Pikachu megas until the trailer said Raichu
>>58250685The 'horns' obscuring its ears really bother me, that visual conflict suggests poor design."
>>58250685>Hey ChatGTP, design a Mega Evolution of Raichu that resembles an Xfollowed by>Now design a different Mega Evolution of Raichu that resembles a YAll these new Megas feel like they were designed by AI
>>58250860google jackalope
I've always disliked featureless nub arms, and X just accentuates them too much. Y is just subpar in general. Damn shame, i feel like they're both close to OK.
>>58250978>rabbit with hornsRaichu is a rat
why not just give Pikachu the mega evolutions?
>>58250993and her Mega is a jackalope, cope seethe and dilate
>>58250993Marill is also a mouse who evolves into a rabbit so there was precedent. Just Raichu taking after Pikablu
>>58251141>>58251145Those aren't actual horns, you autists.
>>58250685These two are so fucking ugly man. Its not even the Pikachu de-evolution, they're just so fucking shitty.
>>58251178Moronic bitch, it is still inspired by a jackalope nonethesame.
>>58250685Y looks legitimately Palworld/AI tier

Somehow Pikachu is a rabbit now. Source: some murrican anon.
>>58251812You’d like for a creative group of people they’d be more imaginative than to add “horns” that look like ass
>58251820It doesn't have to be a literal adaptation to still be inspired by certain legends, obviously. There are many such Pokémon designs that take certain elements from mythical creatures as their inspiration without being 100% the same. You are so autistic that everything has to be 100% literal for you or otherwise your distressingly small brain short circuits. Seek treatment and/or kill yourself.
I mean, I don't work at GF, but I'm 100% sure this Pikachu is based on my mum's bunny, No proof whatsoever but it's a fact!
>>58251800We don't sign our posts here
>>58251785 I doubt you had any brain to begin with
>>58250685Raichu X looks great. Raichu Y looks bad.
for me, its alolan raichu.
>>58250993Evolutions often involve the same kind of family tree at times, retard.
>>58252317Raichu is a mouse.
>>58252335And you're a retard.
>defending AIslop
>>58251820Pikachu is based on the American Pika.
>>58250685sex with both at the same time
>>58252337Says the rabbit mongoloid.
>>58252379>Real animalBros wtf?
>>58250685You are the one who is absolutely mad for accepting low-effort slop like this.Stop posting for a day or so, take a look at yourself.How did it come to this? When did you stop respecting yourself?
>>58250685I completely agree, OP. I was on board with /vp/‘s general opinions until these two: Dragonite is disappointing, Victreebel is horrendous, Hawlucha is kinda cool and Malamar is the first true excellent design. Then these guys dropped and ever lost their fucking minds. Idk where the hate is coming from, Raichu finally looks like he could beat your fucking teeth in. I love them both.
