X/Y rivals
There was potential there too

What would scooby doo evolve into?

Try again, fag, Raichu is based.

Pichu served it's purpose to be cut. My Girl has a out 8 plushes of pichu and has Almost every card of it.

But it's not.
That award goes to Dedenne, Axew, and Piplup.
Why do companions have to have super obnoxious shoulder mon.. wasn't Pikachu filling it's role well enough alone?
>>25745368
No it isn't, Pichu didn't overstay its welcome.
If GF regrets anything its fucking up on making Zoroark the new Lucario

They'r not the Scrappy Doo of Pokemon. Pichu still holds that crown.

Not saying Raichu isint. I love Raichu, but GF would love to retcon it if they could, simply to give pikachu more attention and to keep the focus all on the games mascot

It was also a major character in a Pokemon Ranger game.
But times have changed. That was like 7 years ago.

What's your point? They have 1000+ characters, they can't market every one constantly. That doesn't show regret.
