I like more feminine Pokemon on a male Trainer's roster. Also, general rule of thumb is that the more I see Red on his clothing in some way, the more I like the design of him. (Ash is the counterpart of Red, after all.)

I get that Raichu is a stronger Pokémon then Pikachu especially with the Alolan Form. But here's my thing Pikachu doesn't need to evolve he is very strong on his own and I'm top of that he does not want to evolve and asked respect that decision I feel like it's a disservice to him and Pikachu when you give a Raichu his team. Will you need to remember about the enemy is that it does not give a crap about stats or the meta-game you got to go by real world logic where it's Stamina keeping the Pokémon up and not an HP bar. And little Pokémon have equal battle potential it's just how well their trained

A. Yes, he's strong on his own. But not strong enough to hold his own against Pokemon with better statistics. That's why Pikachu has an evolution to begin with.
B. I feel like it's a disservice to Raichu for always being portrayed as the bad guy, and for Pikachu to keep on refusing to evolve into him.
C. Then tell me this: The anime has outright confirmed the existence of levels, statistics, and type advantages. In short, they're canon. So yes, the anime is supposed to follow the game's rules. It's Pokemon like Pikachu that keep on defying them simply because of plot armor and bad writing.
D. Depends on the Pokemon. Little Pokemon like Manaphy and Victini are practically gods, Mimikyu and Klefki are really tough to take down, while mons like Cosmog, Magikarp, and yes, even Pikachu are pathetically weak.

A: The anime does not care about statistics

B: that is the fair argument and complaint but it's not Pikachu's fault nor is it Ash's and there has been one instance where Raichu was not portrayed as the bad guy it was a summer school arc in the Sinnoh region

The anime how does the term in their existence but again they don't hold much weight levels and the enemy are really just numbers where you can evolve from that point on

No idea where D came from

Cybrawler253 In reply to NexusPieXIII [2017-07-08 12:09:13 +0000 UTC]

A: Fair point. Which is why I no longer consider the anime canon.

B: You're right, it's the fault of both the writers for not evolving him, and the Pikachu fanboys who would have quit Pokemon if they dared evolve their precious Pikachu. Also, that summer school arc? Where Raichu was temporarily under the care of Ash? It reminded me of what we could have had, but didn't. Even that one-episode Raichu had more character development than Pikachu did in recent years. Think of what they could have done with that.

C: Could you please rephrase that? The grammar makes it very hard to understand.

D: It came from your previous comment saying that "little Pokemon have equal battle potential, it's just how well they're trained."

A: The animehas its own continuity I don't think it's fair to slam it inconsiderate and I can't and because it doesn't follow the competitive meta too a tee it is weird Pikachu hasn't character developed any further than leaving his Jericho streak behind and becoming more of a leader to other Pokémon I know you love Raichu Alolan Raichu was a way to give him love both should get a Mega but Raichu isn't forgotten people do share your pain but understand why things are they way they are marketing is a witch

B: they don't not evolve Pikachu because it would make people quit Pokémon they don't involve him because he's the mascot because trust me I hear people wanting Pikachu to evolve all the time to my annoyance

C:my apologies I said the anime does acknowledge levels existence but they don't determine power or stamina they're just levels that say "hey you can now become X at anytime"

D: Oh that's right the anime doesn't go crazy with this because experience is a factor

A: I'm sorry, but I just can't consider a world where unevolved Pokemon can defeat Legendaries, type effectiveness and immunities don't matter, and evolution is frowned upon canon to the series. It goes against everything the games stood for.

B: I wouldn't quit Pokemon if Pikachu evolved. In fact, I might end up getting back into the anime again. And I would forgive Pikachu for delaying his evolution, especially if they evolved him now. (Alolan Raichu, baby!) Also, "to your annoyance?" Why? It would be fantastic if Pikachu evolved! I don't understand why you're against it so much. (Well, aside from being manipulated and brainwashed by the anime, that is.)

NexusPieXIII In reply to Cybrawler253 [2017-07-17 19:23:02 +0000 UTC]

A: There is a strategy in the Games that allows a Level 1 Aron to kill everything. F.E.A.R Focus Sash. Edeavour. (quick) Attack. Ratatta. At the time this was used by Ratatta a unevolved Pokemon to basically once shot everything. Type Effectiveness immunities do matter to the anime if you cut out Best Wishes that problem is only found in the Kanto series and no where else. Yeah don't watch Best Wishes if your a Pokemon fan. Second the Anime doesn't frown upon Evolution. It explores ethics of Evolution which is weird but was dropped since the End of the Kanto Saga, It also points out Evolution isn't everything. Dusknoir actually got screwed in Competitive plays by Evolite because it's effect made Dusclops the better Pokemon of the two. 

B: That's your opinion. And why is it such a sin that Pikachu chooses not to evolve? He's shown to be strong without doing so. Would it be great Yes! But that's not the choice he made and it doesn't bother me. What annoys me is millions upon millions of Comics and Fanfics that basically have other Characters shove a Thunder stone down his throat and I'm tired of it. I'm also sick of this! because the debate works like this! Ash's Pikachu MUST evolve Ash is NeoNazi for not Forcing Pikachu to evolve he should force Pikachu to evolve but it's okay when Red's decides not to evolve. 

C: Are you saying that people who like the anime only do so because they're manipulated and Brainwashed by it! VERY INSULTING! I happen to hate Best Wishes and the Sun and Moon Anime THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Cybrawler253 In reply to NexusPieXIII [2017-07-21 14:19:56 +0000 UTC]

A: F.E.A.R. is not invincible. It is predictable, it can be countered, and it's why Pokemon like Rattata and Aron haven't gone up into higher tiers DESPITE this strategy. Because it's a gimmick, it's unreliable, and it's only useful if you want to mess around with casual players. But against an experienced player? Good luck with that. Also, both Dusclops AND Dusknoir are in the same tier. Dusknoir has more attack power than Dusclops, and can make use of items such as Leftovers. Dusclops can't, plus if the Eviolite gets Knocked Off, Dusclops goes back to being a useless pre-evolution again. And no, evolution IS everything. If you want to fight using unevolved Pokemon, great. There's a tier for that, it's called "Little Cup." It's for people like you who like to pretend that Pokemon can get stronger without evolving. But you can only go so far. You can't go beyond lv.100. You can't get a Pokemon's stats higher than its maximum without evolving it. The whole reason evolutions EXIST is to give weak Pokemon the boost they need to survive. 

B: Again, that strength can only go so far. He's going to reach a point where he realizes that he can't get any stronger unless he evolves. He can also learn moves that his unevolved self can't if he evolves, especially NOW, with the Psychic type moves Alolan Raichu can learn. You're tired of this? What I'M tired of is Pikachu fanboys like yourself preaching your misguided ideals that "Pokemon don't have to evolve to be strong," and seeing people refusing to evolve their Pokemon because of the anime's influence. And no, I'm not okay with Red's Pikachu not evolving either. Any Pokemon that refuses to evolve should either be forced to, or replaced. Otherwise, they are nothing but useless space that keeps you from reaching your full potential as a trainer. 

C: If you refuse to evolve your Pikachu because of "Electric Shock Showdown" and "Pika and Goliath," you're being manipulated by the anime. If you're under the misguided belief that Pokemon don't need to evolve to be strong, you're being manipulated by the anime. The Eviolite and Light Ball were created BECAUSE of people like you who enjoy using unevolved Pokemon. Pikachu didn't evolve because people like YOU don't like to see change, even if it's for the better. It's because of people like you that the anime has become a cesspool of illogical decisions, breaking the rules created by the games, and being blinded by nostalgia.

A: the only reason I pointed those out was because you had said you couldn't stand a version of the Pokemon world that has preevolutions beating fully evolved Pokemon. I never said evolution wasn't important it is! As for the Meta the Anime and the story of the Games to a lesser extent don't care about the Meta To go into further detail with the anime it doesn't restrict itself to the Meta which helps it's writing and doesn't have all the main characters carry around nothing but say Dragonites

B: I'm not preaching that! I have never said that at face value some Pokemon I notice suck until they evolve but the anime is in a place where it's not restricted to stats and the anime kind of has to think about the Pokemon world as real life and in the Games Pokemon have no problem evolving but in the animeand Manga their actually think about it and some decide they don't want too abd what you said about forcing Pokemon that don't want to evolve to do so or replacing them is very cruel ffrom any Pokemon Media whether you like it or not, all Pokemon Media treats Pokemon like Sentient beings with Feelings and free thought! 

C: Actually I have evolved my Pikachu several times. It's not manipulation of the Anime if someone decides they want to use Pikachu instead of Raichu. Now it's lead to Raichu getting over shadowed which is sad and sorry to say I recently learned that Pikachu has a ton of options avaiable to make it more viable than Raichu like the Light Ball you mentioned simply because it's the Mascot if the Mascot were Eevee or Clefairy The Same thing would be happening to them. The Technical reason Pikachu didn't evolve is because it became the Mascot And I love using Pokemon Like Lucario and Charizard! So I like using evolved Pokemon the reason I said anything was because I'm sick of seeing people beat on Ash for Pikachu's choice like it's his fault Raichu's over shadowed. And there is nothing wrong with People wanting to use unevolved Pokemon of they want tooIt also helps to Balance the Meta

A: I'm aware the anime doesn't care about the games. Which is, again, why I don't consider it canon. Also, a team of nothing but Dragonites is just asking to be killed by Ice and Fairy type attacks. I'm not asking for something like that. I'm asking for the main characters to have teams of fully evolved Pokemon. The XYZ series almost had it, but once again, Pikachu had to hold everyone back by his illogical decision to remain the way he is.

B: Really? Because it sure as hell sounds like you're preaching it. And again: the anime isn't canon. Neither is the manga. Also, no, it's not cruel. You know why? Because Pokemon are digital packets of data that are programmed to do whatever we command them to. They have no free will of their own, and as such, they can't complain when I choose to evolve them. But even if they were real, I would still force them to evolve if they refused to. It's the same reason why I look up to Paul from the anime. He pushes his Pokemon to their maximum potential, and follows his own beliefs, even though everyone around him viewed him as the bad guy for it. I really sympathize with the guy, and respect both him and his logical course of action.

C: A ton of options? Seriously, all Pikachu has going for it is the Light Ball, there are literally NO ways it can function well without being extremely predictable. Now, I'm sorry that you have issues with people making fan art and fanfictions of Ash's Pikachu evolving, but it's simply what fans like myself have wished for ever since Electric Shock Showdown. And yes, it WAS Ash's Pikachu's fault for overshadowing Raichu. It wasn't intentional, but it was still his fault. And people who try to use unevolved Pokemon in competitive battling will find themselves in a world of hurt, ESPECIALLY if they're casual players. It doesn't help to balance out the metagame, it helps to weed out the weak players who refuse to accept change/grow up. 

(Although, I'm glad to see you have SOME sense. At least you've evolved your Pikachu several times, and have enjoyed using fully evolved Pokemon like Charizard and Lucario. It seems that I partially misjudged you.)

A: I said the anime doesn't care about the meta it follows the regular game rules it just uses real time and fights where one can dodge and do other things to it's not an illogical decision it was a life choice that's like me saying that vegetarians are dumb because the decision to not eat meat is illogical

B: I'm not preaching anything unlike you who's preaching that people shouldn't be allowed to use their favorites or have fun with the game The anime and Manga have their own continuity and they're part of the franchise whether you like it or not I'm more sentimental on the thing it's not cruel in real life but it WOULD BE in the games and Manga but that's beside the point not everyone had to play the game like you!

Okay, let me get a couple things straight. First off, use some friggen punctuation. It's making it hard for me to take anything you're saying seriously, and it just looks lazy and immature on your part. Second, this is exactly the problem I have with Pikachu fanboys (or girls) like yourself. You always try to paint people like us as the bad guys, even though I was merely expressing my own thoughts and viewpoints while also having a respectful debate about Pokemon. 

Also, apparently, anyone who disagrees with NexusPieXIII over here is considered a racist. Why? Because they said so. You're bound to piss a lot of people off by saying things like that. Consider yourself lucky that I'm one of the more tolerant people here on the internet.
