Pikachu

[Smokey_d]

A lot of people who know little about pokémon always know at least one thing. He's on all the merchandise, he's the star of the show and everyone knows his name. If you can't tell yet, I HATE PIKACHU!!!! It is over rated as a pokémon and just annoying. I hate it when it wins battles (like when he sweeps Wattson in Hoenn) and when it loses battles (like battling Cress' level 14 Panpour in Unova).

Let's get this straight. I do not hate Ash but why does he always have to be with Pikachu. Even on this site's logo. The number of times i wish Team Rocket just wins this one and actually captures it is just unbelievable.

You can make the point (Oh, but he's Ash' first pokémon). So what? He has stronger pokémon (like Charizard) and pokémon that care more for him (like Bayleef). The show has been running so long now that it's gotten to the point where Pikachu is a main character and has been given more of a personality than some of the human main characters.

I leave you with the final message that Pikachu can suck my Caterpie and two Voltorb.

pikachu was the first ever pokemon from back when it was just a simple platform game so like zoe said pikachu is the trademark... i honestly wouldnt be surprised if this thread gets closed =/

If you have a passionate hate for the mascot of the franchise, maybe Pokemon isn't for you.

You'd be shocked with how popular Pikachu is in both Japan and I think US. Unless the guy looses it, don't see him getting replaced any time soon. Just ignore him some how, imagine him as a Pokemon you like

Pikachu is sticking around, deal with it. Even if Ash ever goes (not happening), I can practically guarantee the replacement would end up getting a Pikachu.
