Pikachu- Symbol of Pokemon franchise

[Haruka_Rules!]

Do you agree that the mascot of the Pokemon franchise is Pikachu? If not, what do you think should be the mascot for the franchise?

 

[IslandWalker]

Yeah, it is. It was originally gonna be Clafairy.

 

[Falconwing]

Yeah. Personally I think it should be Eevee, but still, Pikachu makes for an adorable mascot.

 

[PDL]

Pikachu fits since it could be caught early enough in the original games so people can be familiar enough with it, it's cute, which the Japanese seem to absolutely adore, and it appeals to both boys and girls. Which is probably the main reason why Clefairy and Jigglypuff were passed over, they look like they could appeal only to girls with their pinkness and all.

 

[pikachu200]

Yes I have to admit it is cute...but I think Meowth could be the secondary mascot (plus Snoopy is the mascot of the Peanuts gang and he's cute too)

 

[eevee91]

I think Pikachu is. Why, because half the time it's on anything Pokémon related. Also because I have seen people who don't know the first thing about Pokémon recognize Pikachu.

 

[Chebon]

This ^
Half the poeple I know when I mention pokemon, is Pikachu.
They don't know Ash, Brock, or Misty, but they know Pikachu lol.

Thanks.

 

[Gato]

Yeah, I've seen people mistake Pichu for Pikachu. They're not Pokemon fans, though.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Pikachu should stay as the mascot because the main character of the anime (Ash) owns one.

Plus, it's cute.

^This is why pikachu should stay the mascott.

I didn't know they considered Clefairy and Jigglypuff! That's interesting.

Yeah, I agree, plus there is no reason to change mascots.

Pikachu is definitely the most well known pokemon.

Seriously? You just made Magic Guard ability and Jigglypuff's Super Smash Bros. appereances sad.

 

[Lazyboy0337]

Pikachu shouldn't be the mascot, as I think it's ugly. But you can't change it now.

Lickitung should be the mascot because the Italian guy in anime owns one.

Plus, it's cute.

I fixed your sentance

 

[pikachu200]

No Jessie use to own one!

 

[double trouble!]

Of course it is.. They don't use Pikachu balloons in parades for no reason.

 

[Delta_Moltres]

I would rather Magikarp of Arceus be the mascot... Pikachu is overpopular. As Walter would say it:

What do you think of Pikachu Walter?

Uh, It's a fad

 

[double trouble!]

Magikarp is ok with me. Arceus? nty.

 

[Ino-Chan]

It's Pikachu, no doubt.

 

[Lazyboy0337]

No Jessie use to own one!

yes, but I perfer the one in "If the scarf fits, wear it"

 

[Zesty Cactus]

I honestly love Pikachu and I think it's just a good fit for the series mascot. Like others have said, it's cute, it's gender-neutral, it's capturable early in the game... what's not to love? (oh, its defence stat? right)
