There's a reason he's the mascot. Red's Pikachu from Yellow is where the design peaked.
I think he peaked before the Adventure manga desu. Should have kept the white belly
>>59686607ugly fat squirrel
>>59686607The Adventure Pikachu is ugly, I don't like it
>>59686763>>59687006kill yourselves, NOW
>>59688834kill me yourself you dumb retarded waste of sperm.
>>59686607>There's a reason he's the mascot.The reason is that he had better survey results than Clefairy, who was originally intended to be the starter for Ash.It's just tough to beat yellow mascots for marketing purposes. Shit sells like hotcakes.
>>59686607For once, America's "make it look angry and cool" gimmick really did make it look better. Yellow version's box looked a lot more appealing than Pikachu version's.
>>59686607This is like thinking Sonic's design peaked with Classic and not SA2/Riders.
>>59686607Sadly they started pandering to foids shortly after. Everything had to start looking cute and nonthreatening
>>59690492So you're saying it's irrefutably correct?
Seaking and golduck had cool designs but were borderline useless interchangeable water types.early balance was a mess
>>59690655Golduck had more reason to be mono psychic than it did to be mono water
>>59690925It deserved better mixed attack stats and water/psychic typing.but i suppose there were already the stars and bros covering that typingseaking was just a borderline useless goldfish but i thought the design was cool and just wasted potential
>>59686607yeah but its modern design is terrible and raichu has stayed way more true to its og design
>>59690477Because unlike Kirby it still keeps that playful cuteness to his design. Look at that determined, competitive grin and perked up ears. He's about to kick some ass and have fun doing it. Literally the entire fucking spirit of Pokemon as a franchise embodied in that one piece of artwork.
>>59690613Not that anon, but Uekawa Sonic is the only true Sonic. Classicucks are as bad as genwunners, so their opinions are discarded.
>>59686615This is peakachu. Still chubby, and I love the white belly. Shame it got replaced so quickly.
>>59686607Almost as kino as Blaziken
