Mother fucker because it’s overrated as all shit. I’ve hated Pikachu since I was a kid because the only reason it was the mascot was because Ash had one and even as a child I knew it was bullshit. It was a pokemon everyone liked, everyone wanted despite it being a trash rat that isn’t even that cute. It’s overpowered in the show and honestly, even though I hate the design of Red’s Clefairy, it would have been a shit ton more interesting to have a pokemon that had LITERALLY EVERY MOVE at it’s disposal via metronome. 

Those bullshit deus ex machina situations Pikachu’s always in would have actually made sense if Clefairy happened to use the right move at the right time and it would be just as suspenseful when it had to use a good move and ended up using something that wouldn’t help it. But instead we get this fucking yellow rat that everyone thinks is SOO COOL LETS MAKE A POKEMON GAME WHERE PIKACHU FOLLOWS YOU 20 YEARS LATER AND DESPITE THERE BEING WAY BETTER DESIGNS AND CHOICES THIS LITTLE SHIT IS STILL THE MASCOT

  FUCK PIKACHU

Like besides his over enthusiasm, I genuinely hate Hau because he had a Pikachu. He evolved it to Alolan Raichu and he’s just became that much more tolerable instantly.
