why did he never evolve?
God's chosen nation (Israel) demanded for Ash's Pikachu to not evolve.It was mandated 3,000 years ago.
>>59317118he would have become fat and ugly instead of cute
>>59317118It doesn't even have an egg group, which is a bit strange.
>>59317118Raichu isn't marketable
we need more Pikachu buffs. It isn't enough for him to learn Surf and have Light Ball
>>59317118Because G-max Pikachu can’t evolve
>>59317118It would be extremely painful
>>59317118Ash could not carry around a fully-evolved Raichu on his shoulder
>>59317118Pokemon yellow. They did try to evolve him a few times early on but ash stopped it
>>59317232He's a big 'mon.
>>59317281Ash never did. He’s always let Pikachu decide whether he wants to evolve or not.
>>59317118Can't wait for Regulation Z and use Eevee's Z-Move to make this little nigga hit Master Ball.
>>59317286For you.
>>59317118to reflect his target audience (manchildren)
>>59317331women are pikachu's biggest fans bro
>>59317289team rocket tried to forcing the thing with a thunderstone.
>>59317118Swallowed a everstone offscreen
>>59317118It turns out he was never able to in the first place. Pikachu with Gigantamax Factor can never evolve.
>>59317579>>59317230That kind of ruins the whole "choose not to evolve" aspect.
>>59317624It did choose not to evolve. Just because it found out later that it couldn't even if it wanted to doesn't negate that choice.
>>59317381women's opinions don't matter
>>59317118Because Raichu is fat>>59317189Make it faster so that Light Ball sets are actually viable instead of hinging on a dinky 95 speed
>>59317118he didn't want to drop all that weight again
Actually he can unless you're using the starter Pikachu from Yellow simply capturing a wild one, I used to have both Pikachu and Raichu on my Yellow game, It was awesome.Pikachu still is generally more charming and cool than Raichu though.
