Pikachus used to be rare...
>>
so was Rotom...
>>
>>59223697
He finally stopped talking about jews constantly and had sex
>>
>>59223705
all they had to do was keep them exclusively found within technology found in haunted places for that cool mystery factor but they fucked it all up. I would have even been okay if they kept the smartphone and Pokedex shit if they didn't erase its paranormal origins
>>
Zoroark used to be a mythical but in Sun and Moon 2 you can just randomly find them on the first island.
>>
>>59223762
Never was Mandela. It was a non-special event pokémon with a 2nd DS requirement (which explains why so few you kids got it).
>>
>>59223697
25% spawn rate in the power plant btw
>>
>>59223762
It was never a mythical it was just lucario 2.0

"What if rotom get iPad?"

I pray there's not a Rotom-Tab in the next game that's an electric/steel iPad.
>>
You can get him before the first gym at Viridian Forest and there is no reason to use him over Jolteon other than novelty and earlier access

you're gonna want to sit down for this one

Because they started off as literalwhos. Now that its popular to be a PIKACHU, they get tons of sex from other mons and reproduce like crazy.

I could say the same about Jolteon because Zapdos exists

yessir!

I remember when people thought Rotom was legendary, since there was only one, it was post-game, and the legendary encounter music played during the battle.

>>59223773
>>59223848
NTA, but he clearly means event-only by "mythical", which Zoroark was in BW1 (though they could still be bred and traded). There was a single Zorua you could only get with the M13 event Celebi in Castelia City, and a single Zoroark you could only get with one of the M13 event shiny legendary beasts in Lostlorn Forest. By BW2, you could find them in the wild.

>>59224079

jolteons learnset is garbage
>>
>>59225321
I would say legendaries are gay but using >>59224164 logic you’re right
>>59226250
And Raichu is better? What does it have, iron tail?
>>
>>59226253
what game are we talking about?
>>
>>59225296
More like Jawrizard
>>
>>59223705
Rotom is still rare as an actual wild encounter
>>
>>59224079
>higher attack for hyper beam and brick break
>thunderbolt without needing to grind in the game corner
>thunder wave before the endgame
I can't think of an actual reason to use Jolteon over the other KANTOOOOOO electrics. Raichu has a better movepool. Electrode is faster and comes with a stronger electric move thah thundershock. Zapdos is bulkier and stronger (+ fly). Magneton is immune to poison and hits harder. The only one that's blatantly inferior in-game is Electabuzz.
>>
>>59225296
>their most likely mascot
Uh-huh
>>
>>59223697
people kept breeding them and now there's a lot.
oddly people have been researching this and most wild pikachu that exist now have around 5% human dna which is around 5 times higher than the normal amount which would imply humans have been the partner to the pikachu, but that couldn't be true. sex with pokemon is wrong...
>>
>>59227122
ruined my day when I was playing Scarlett-
>inb4 "there's your issue right there"
and my first time encountering Rotom was a group of them on a beach on the border of Levinica City. PLA also put them on a random route as well. They just don't give a fuck
>>59227237
yeah? They were still testing the water with things like Clefairy and Poliwhirl
>>
>>59227119
*Jewizard
>>
>>59227298
We share more dna with a banana this instead implies Pikachus are descended from some nonanimal being like a fungi.
>>
>>59227744
that's how it is in the original Pocket Monster lore. I want to go back
>>
>>59223697
Only in the forest. They had like a 25% encounter rate at the power plant.
>>
>>59223848
You got LUCAAAAAARIOOOO for free from CYYYYNTIAAAAA in DP but you had to watch some shitty movie to get Zoroark in BW so it was a mythical.
And now you can just find them in Alola randomly.
>>
>>59228552
>You got LUCAAAAAARIOOOO for free from CYYYYNTIAAAAA in DP
Madela'ed yourself, chuddie. Or perhaps an oldfag larper?
>>
>>59225321
i always liked that zapdos does jolteon's job better in almost every regard, except jolteon wins the 1v1 with zapdos

Gen I Electabuzz, maybe. Even that naturally gets Thunderbolt in Yellow/FRLG, but there are no Electabuzz in Yellow. After Gen I, Electabuzz hits harder than Raichu (higher Special Attack) and gets access to Psychic so its got better coverage than Raichu (without Surf) or Jolteon

KANTOOO Electrics tier the following:
>Zapdos (both games)
>Electrode (I, Free Boom)
>Magneton (III)
>Electabuzz (III)
>Raichu (I)
>Jolteon
>Electrode (III)
>Raichu (III)
>Electabuzz (I)
>Magneton (I)

Magneton hits the hardest of the non-Zapdos Kanto Electrics, but because it's the slowest Electric in Gen I, others will get crits more often to secure kills. Meanwhile it's just outright fucking cracked in Gen III thanks to the Steel-typing. I'd say Jolteon is kind of in the middle of both versions of Gen I just because it really suffers, moveset wise

1996 is year of the rat
