Re: Favorite Pokemon?

What reasons are yours for liking Raichu versus what are theirs?

Re: Favorite Pokemon?

[diet_poison]

So when I was a kid one of my favorite episodes in the original anime was the Lt. Surge episode. I was so impressed by how strong and badass Raichu was and loved the juxtaposition of it with Pikachu (power vs. speed; everyone has different styles) and giving the evo some love. I think in first gen Raichu was supposed to be one of the more powerful Pokémon (of course it's since been overshadowed).

It's that, my love of Electric as a type, and my general love of the unloved/underdogs that led me to be a big stan for Raichu.

Everyone else likes it because they think it's cute. I mean I guess it is, but it's always been a symbol of badassery and power to me. I think I'm doing it wrong.

(I also have nothing against cute Pokémon, but personally I don't think Raichu is the best example. I have some favorites in the cute department and could easily name a dozen I'd point to as "OMG SO FUCKING CUTE!" before Raichu. I guess I kind of resent the common interpretation of Raichu because I have used the name Raichu online for years and everyone assumes it's because it's cute and I'm primarily into cute things/have a cutesy personality and I find that really annoying because it's really not how I want to present myself.)

(Further addendum: I wanted Raichu to get a mega SO BAD. Electric/Dark was my dream typing, but beggars can't be choosers. And something badass. Yeah. Never going to happen now, and Alolan Raichu is everything I hate about the popular interpretation of Raichu in general. And of course everyone loves it. :/ )

Ah okay, I only ever played the games so I've never been effected by a narrative for Pokemon that strongly but that makes sense.

I guess you can count me among the people who think Raichu is cute so I like the Alola form. But considering Pokemon is now willing to give pokemon new types, you never know? Maybe another Raichu is in the cards for the future?

I think it's very unlikely but that would be nice. :)
