Fat Pikachu is best Pikachu.
Sleepysummoner
I miss chonky Pikachu
MarvLarv
Missed chance of making this Richus Giagantamax form.
FractalB
I always thought that no one evolved their Pikachu anyway, because they wanted to keep it a Pikachu.
ImChuckBass
Put. It. In.
hobolizard
Future regional veriant electric/dark would be neat
kingzerox450
Could of taken out farfetch'd for this but my have been a trade evolution so I'm okay with how it turned out.
callmeMrGawd
I like how you deleted the source. Dr. Lava on yt and twitter if you're interested
dontrike
Gotta wonder why they haven't tried updating some unused designs and using them again, maybe even as another form or evolution.
I'm looking at your Giraffarig.
Srcsqwrn
If Gorochu was in the game I might have actually wanted a Pikachu and then wanted to evolve it all the way. Raichu is... Ok.
Imadethisaccounttopost
Pls bring it back!
hamberglar
This explains why a lot of single evolution pokemon feel really underwhelming in gen1.
Pretty much all of the gen1 pokemon worth their salt either don't evolve or have a 3rd evolution.
TCGView
If Raichu was hooked on Meth.
KeithSvenson
hmmmm i wonder if we can petition nintendo to add it.
Kitakita
but they kept that sack of fat Chansey in. Unfair.
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
I want to learn more about these lost Pokemon.
J4nein4ne
I want this.
ImPrizonMike
And instead we get some classic treasures, like Electrode and Jinx
Istherenothingleft
Jinx was a mistake. It is nothing but trash.
Fairdinkums
That looks so good! Are there any more?

...Ditto's evolution to Animon i suppose & maybe Crocky from gen 1. Lot's of them now that i think about it

Dr Lava's lost pokemon has more http://lavacutcontent.com
Legomaniac91
They could always repurpose that design and make it Raichu's mega-evolution form.
Higure
Pikapika is the Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkling. Rai means lightning. Gorogoro is the sound of rolling thunder. Chu is a mouse squeak.
SwedeOnAnIsland
Well, we at least got Seel, Pidgey etc
Seel is pure and blameless
RicheTheBuddha
Pikachu used lack of cartridge space. It's super effective.
ShadowCleric
Say they can't do it because it would mean a 4th stage... then they make mega evolutions and whatever those giant evolutions are a thing?
PURRFECTION1
That wouldve been an epic pokemon, but I had yellow so I wouldve cried anyway.
Covidnineteen
You can catch a wild Pikachu in yellow
No you cant
LongCommentChainAppreciator

Ahh my childhood. Choose this above Pokemon due to it's amazing tense stories, talking monsters and great character development.
Gosuamakenatek
Man, it sucks how much cooler digimon are than pokemon, but they just can't make a decent game.
Macewindow
Digimon world 3? 1&2 were great as well
DemiDevinmon
Give "Cyber Sleuth" a try. It's on PS4, Vita (or PSTV), and recently for Nintendo Switch. One of the best Digimon games ever made, imho.
Fengor
It's also on Steam
Nommy86
Does that mean any Pokemon with only 1 evolution was always meant to gave 2? What are the others?
Askingforafriend37
I know a few years back in the same interview they showed gorochu, they showed a shark with a pointy head, a moose lookin thing, and a T-Rex
FireflyArc
I am curious as w ell
TendsToAgree
Kengeskhan was supposed to be an evolution of marowak.
Doduo.
TheBigBadBonerBiter
Not necessarily *any*, seeing as they keep making Pokemon that only have 1 evolution.
ADent42
I've read that at least Pinsir was supposed to have an evolution. It ended up becoming heracross though
Kuimori
Same with Cubone and Marowak into Kangaskhan
VIadimirTarasenko
But wasn’t khangaskan in gen1??
Yes
CMarshmallow
Yes, but they nixed the story and evolution line because they felt it was too morose.
Has that actually been confirmed or is it still fan theory?
ninjaguineapig
And when Gen II came along they gave it a baby form instead of a badass one.
globalstorm
Pichu took less cartridge space
AntennaDibb
pichu is cute and baby pokemon add a level of cute appeal to the game that was focused on bigger and cooler evolutions.
Ask Dr. Lava. He's got a bunch of videos on the subject.
CarbonMantis
You should start with Sonichu and work your way from there.
but.... why not both? i mean pikachu is the mascot sooooo wouldn't it get special 4 evo privledges?
wasacasa
IIRC they never wanted pikachu as a mascot, they wanted Eevee. They saw its popularity and just went with it. Maybe that's why? Idk
straikychan
Well these days they'd prefer if raichu didn't even exist...
jj999124
Ive always prefered raichu over pikachu but im probably in the minority of that
HomWapko
Nah, Raichu is my favorite Pokémon.
xVVitch
Especially considering Eevee keeps getting add ons..
Peddler32
Yeah like that new french-type, Napoleon
EvPointMaster
I like the ghost type.
redstick
lancell
It doesn’t have any attacks and can only run away.
No this one is from before WW2, it will always attempt to fight Ice types despite not being prepared for it.
Ah baby forms...totally pointless.
Gryzly
I dunno sometimes I like to do a babies only playthrough kinda fun
hwatL4bloopy
On top of the game mechanic expansion it also helped bring more people into the game.
zigbigidorlu
Not completely. Baby Pokémon are guaranteed perfect IVs in 3 stats, and some have baby-specific learnable moves.
ImgurKrampus
Like the baby version, or from the breeder?
WaldoRomaguera
what's wrong with Pichu :c
Well he super sucks in Smash Brothers, all his attacks hurt himself... or maybe they are cries for help, who knows
Qhronoboros
What are you on about, this little cute ass rat is deadly as hell. Dair and thunder spikes, lightning loops, juggles, fast, deadly off-stage
Strategically he is tier 3 at best, I would say as good as Olimar, but he is no Pikachu
I don’t think any other character can completely invalidate as many characters as pikachu, but in any case I would say pichu is high tier.
NotmyUsername2000
Wtf! Why hasn't it been added since? Gave us some lame surfing one instead.
JustinthePlatypus
Probably because it looks too fierce. Pikachu is supposed to be the cute mascot character.
Pokegeologist
So were gremlins until they took a bath.
Pikablu isn't real.
And just about every 90s kid is still mad.
PieceOtoast
All of alola was trash
sromancer
Because they need content for the next Pokémon game!
keyblader1985
Then the species would have four different evolutions. To my knowledge no Pokemon has more than 3, excluding regionals & divergent forms.
Lykin06
Don't forget mega evolutions
Lurd
Don't diss surfing Pikachu, that minigame was one of my favorite parts of Pokemon Yellow
singingninjaMX
What minigame?
Nopearope
I thought they were talking about Alolan Riachu.
Could be a mega raichu now, it fits the style of mega evolution
pinkdayzees
that would be awesome. i see nothing wrong with this
WhoCaresJustPickAName
Don't forget the garbage bag and the ice cream cone
5GFPLaqZ4nAy2QwrqOEI
ice cream cone is a good hail setter and slow enough for TR too iirc.
Parethil
And the pile of goo, bigger pile of goo, pokeball and upside down pokeball... wait
People forget that every gen has had a few lazy pokemon
slaphappyhobbit
And a plain bird, and a rock, and a ball of metal with screws in it. People literally bitch just to bitch.
I complain mostly about the fucking ice cream... And not getting more evolutions. Lol... Why not more?
CrissCross35
Trubish is a modern pokémon that has adapted to a modern society, same as Geodude has adapted to mountains and Odish to forests
Goldensands
And same as you, having adapted to abysmal design choices.
Ye a round ball, a mouse, a rock with arms and slime is much better and creative
Yes, precisely so. Oh there have always been poorly designed Pokémon. Doesn’t mean just copy pasting a household item isn’t abysmal.
Don't forget Chairy. It's a chair, but it's red and has a stem. It's a cherry chair. I just made that up, but it's inevitably gonna happen.
Trubbish is ground pollution, to go with Muk's water pollution and Weezing's air pollution.
TurangaLeelaIsMyMom
Hey now. I like Trubbish. Every time I see him I’m like, “It me!!”
KenjiIchijoe
Or rock with arms, or pile of eggs
TheFunionKnight
You leave trubbish alone he's doing his best
Bruh, it's trash.
He is the best trash
LtKifKroker
Well his best is garbage
The best fucking garbage
diehardlance
And a ring of keys...
No, you’re thinking of that lesbian musical.
LCMcG
Isn't there one that's like, various appliances? And a chandalier one. And one that's just a set of keys.
G4M5T3R
Yep, they've stopped trying.
Why did I get donwvoted, these are actual Pokémon lol I didn't even say they're bad
MynameisCal
Because pikachu already has 3 evolutions
Poliwag, Oddish, & Ralts are all 3 stage w/ 2 3rd stage. Tyrogue has 3 final stages. Eevee is eevee. Tgere are already exceptions to 3 stage
They have megas now though. This would make a perfect mega.
What about Eevee? /:
What? Cause of pichu or whatever isn't it? That pre evolution stuff is meh!
Hey man I'm on your side that mon looks awesome was never a big fan of pichu I'm just stating a fact
That sucks and it shouldn't count. I've never even seen pichu evolve into a pikachu and I'm sure it happens somewhere.
InsanityCrab
Yeah the pre evolution ones always confused me. Why are you trying to out cute the cute pokemon poster child?
Original Pikachu wasn't cute. Also to sell toys, that's why
Don't fat shame original Pikachu, he was as cute as he needed to be!
DetectiveGaff
Kinda took the Garfield route
culinarydream7224
Original Pikachu was fucking adorable, how dare you
maythegorknmorkbewithyou
Polywhirl has four evolutions tho
DrJackBright
Nope, poliwhirl can evolve into two seperate pokemon, but they don't do more than 3 stages in a row, so no pichu->pika->raichu->gorochu
that's a split evolution line. It still only has 3 stages
Poliwag can evolve a maximum of twice. You choose between the two final stages.
Kirurik
That's a split evolution alot of them have those. Always a possibility of a split evo.
Laughs in Eevee.
This! If it takes a stone to evolve pikachu anyway. Why does pichu even matter? Just give us this cool one using a different stone.
They announced a Ghost Form: You evolve Eevee to Ghosteon by using a brick.
