wraith89 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 This one's gotta be interesting... [sprite]025[/sprite] [shinysprite]025[/shinysprite] PIKACHU Type: Electric HP: 35 Atk: 55 Def: 30 SpA: 50 SpDef: 50 Spe: 90 BST: 310 Advantages: - Can utilize the Light Ball, which doubles its attack and special attack power, making it stronger than Raichu - Has a larger fanbase for the most part - It's uber in the anime >.> - Learns Grass Knot to OHKO Bulky grounds - Static can be very annoying to stuff that hits it with a "contact" move Disadvantages: - Is very very frail - Can be killed by priority moves - Light Ball does not allow the equipping of other items - Is generally hated as much as it is loved - 90 base speed is somewhat fast, but sometimes not fast enough - To use Surf requires a Hardy nature [sprite]026[/sprite] [shinysprite]026[/shinysprite] RAICHU Type: Electric HP: 60 Atk: 90 Def: 55 SpA: 90 SpDef: 80 Spe: 100 BST: 475 Advantages: - Somewhat more sturdier than Pikachu - Is more versatile with the "survivability" to Encore, Nasty Plot - Generally more useful than Pikachu - Has the same attack power in both sides of the spectrum - Has an interesting movepool, such as the ability to Grass Knot to take down bulky grounds - Static can be very annoying to stuff that hits it with a "contact" move Disadvantages: - It is STILL frail (but not to the same extent as Pikachu) - It cannot utilize Light Ball - To use Surf requires a Hardy nature - In popularity Pikachu outshines it - Back in GSC it was always shown to be fat and mean looking Vote which one you like and give a reason why. I'm picking Raichu because I don't like Pikachu. Weird reason, eh?
pokemonfan Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I despise pikachu and raichu gives a fat and bad name to rats so I chose the last option. Edit: plus pichu in my opinion is odd.
Goldgross Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Im gonna make wraith have some Pikastew baby!!:biggrin: All these pokes that look cute actually dont appeal to me at all. I hate how they look...especially smoochum >_< yeckh.......they mesmerise you with their cuteness and make you go willy-nilly, bah!! i hate those 2 freakin rats. Pikachu is so lame....he beat the Orange league champions dragonite and lost to Garys Eevee:eek: and even Electivire later WTH!! My idea of cute is kinda like when the pokemon is powerful and good looking.....i find them really cute. Like Metagross....and Tyranitar omg hes so cute when he smiles:redface:
Endless Eden Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Tyranitar only smiles because hes about to kill you :tongue: I'm going Raichu because in the anime pikachu chould probably whoop arceus but if its an in game pikachu most everything can own it because pikachu is useless!!
Mewtwo Ex Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Pikachu for nostalgic reasons. You can't change the ''Mascot'' of Pokemon.
pokemonfan Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 You can't change the ''Mascot'' of Pokemon. True, but its quite a shame if you think about it. I used to love pikachu but then...it became annoying, and evil so I now despise it. Its more like pikapoo.

pokemonfan Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Everyone is entitled to their own opinions Pokemonfan. I know this...is there something wrong with voicing mine:confused:? Of course I'm looking forward to maybe adding poketopia's pikachu to my rain team
Zafur Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Chose the both option. I guess I stopped watching the anime before Pikachu got annoying. To me, they're both cute, and they are both about the same in battle if pikachu gets a lightball so I really don't have a preference there... I just love rodents in general. Although, I have to agree that most Pokémon designed to be cute end up... not being cute. But I've been told I have a weird sense of cute, so.
Goldgross Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Tyranitar only smiles because hes about to kill you :tongue: Yeah well if its your pet and it smiles at you...... its so adorable! You just feel like givin it a big hug :biggrin:
ImANinja Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 All 3 of the evouloutions are annoying electrical rats, but I lean more towards Pikachu for being mascot and kinda retarded in the anime, I like retards.
Dimi Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Im going with Raichu. Its way better. Pikachu is too frail, sucks at life, lost to an Elekid after beating Regice.. The list goes on and on really.
Toffeuy Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I was waiting for a weekly poll... I chose Pikachu because I like its looks better and it is the Pokemon Mascot and Main Character.
InuYouki Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I went with Raichu. While I have characters that are pika's I still feel Raichu is the better. I hated in yellow that I couldn't evolve the little brat and the anima just makes my hatred worse >:C Maybe I can see getting away with beating a Raichu once because it "evolved to soon" but beating a well trained Raichu is just bogus. Pikachu just needs to have it handed to him more. I say, let Raichu use the lite ball and let him shine for once *nods* Though I guess having Pikachu for a mascot is better then Jigglypuff x.x
Mewtwo Ex Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 If they change it to Jigglypyff, i am stopping with the series and games!!!
InuYouki Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 If they change it to Jigglypyff, i am stopping with the series and games!!! That is who the original mascot was supposed to be when they first released the games, but Pikachu's popularity kinda put a stop to that. Or was it Clafairy who was meant to be the mascot :confused: I don't know, either way yellow and cute is better then pink and cute.
D@t@_G@ll@de#3 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 not to offend anyone, and PLEASE dont report me or anything for this but....... i hate pikachu so much that i get together with my cousin and have a wireless battle. the catch? we take turns bringing a pikachu so we can murder it with an: A. Arceus B.Raichu C.Pichu lol yeah its fun pwning pikachu. if only we could let the world see it...... hey! well my cousin has platinum so he can record his battles and post the battle # to the world... this may get interesting........:eek::kikkoman::grog::creep: :biggrin:
InuYouki Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 literally lol'd at the pichu. I too enjoy taking out that little brat in the game. Anytime someone throws out a pika I take much joy in bringing him down. Such an over rated thing he is. I like Raichu, but seriously give me a Charizard or a Salamence any day.

Pikachu just needs to have it handed to him more. I say, let Raichu use the lite ball and let him shine for once *nods* Though I guess having Pikachu for a mascot is better then Jigglypuff x.x The problem is, if you give it the Light Ball, it becomes almost broken. Let's see... 90 Base Attack and Special attack... either one of them becomes 279 max with neutral nature (and reaches 309, I believe, with positive nature). Imagine that doubled... and coming off 100 speed. That would be broken. Raichu's already an okay Pokemon with pretty high speed with a movepool to mess around with even Ground Pokemon... not to mention it gets Nasty Plot (Pika can Nasty Plot too, but when does it ever get the time to use that?). Encore messes with pretty much many things too For the most part, I consider Raichu better in battling than Pikachu.
Relyte Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 ...what do you eat for breakfast, wraith? And I chose that because I think that a pikastew would actually be better than using either one in a battle (can you tell I don't like them...?)
roflskippy Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 i like pichu best so i pikaed that one (lol play on words ^^)
Goldgross Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Cmon Guys!!! Make wraith eat some pikastew!! He'll love the fact that you voted for him to have some I knooooooooww iiiiiiiiitt!!! HUAHAHAHA
evandixon Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 The only thing worse than rats in a cat shelter, is ELECTRIC rats! I wonder who voted "Wraith89 eats Pikastew for breakfast >=) "

I agree with you, Raichu's actually not too bad but if it is able possess to powers of the Light Ball. It would be too strong! It might join Garchomp in the Uber group...
