It deserves to be one, because it's gender-neutral, fitting for both girls and boys.Pikachu is a good design, but it does NOT deserve to be the mascot. This may not be controversial.

Because it's more recognizable. Not everyone knows about Pokémon gender differences. The male design is the one that's always been used and is more commonly known.Except that the mascot Pikachu is almost always a male one.

I feel the exact same way about Eevee getting one as well, especially since that one came about over twenty years into the franchise's life. I would have much rather the heart-shaped tail markings for female Eevee remained exclusively a Let's Go thing.(Indeed, for this very reason I feel like it was kind of a mistake to give Pikachu a gender difference.)
A portion of Karen's quote is also arguably wrong. Some pokemon are just flat out objectively better than others, with either better stats, typing, abilities, or all of the above. So there's no "selfish perception" when you look at which pokemon is strong and which is weak.Karen's quote is horrendously overrated.
The number of pre-evolutions that are truly made better then their evolutions by Eviolite's sole existence is ridiculously tiny, though. Literally the only ones I can think of are Chansey and Dusclops. Everything else is still always worse than its evolved form even with the Eviolite.The Eviolite should have never been created, as the whole point of evolving is getting stronger, not getting outclassed by pre-evolved forms.
In my eyes, it's not. However, I don't like people holding a high opinion on Karen solely because of the quote.Karen's quote is horrendously overrated.
Porygon-2 has entered the chat.Literally the only ones I can think of are Chansey and Dusclops.
Galarian Corsola is famously much better than Cursola. Galarian Mr. Mime arguably is better than Mr. Rime in a lot of cases, too. But I agree with what you’re saying.The number of pre-evolutions that are truly made better then their evolutions by Eviolite's sole existence is ridiculously tiny, though.

lol, I can't believe I actually forgot about Galarian Corsola XDGalarian Corsola is famously much better than Cursola. Galarian Mr. Mime arguably is better than Mr. Rime in a lot of cases, too. But I agree with what you’re saying.
Exactly. I mean, they cut plenty of Pokémon and moves, couldn’t they have just trashed Eviolite while they were at it?lol, I can't believe I actually forgot about Galarian Corsola XD
Still, that's only a total of four pre-evolved Pokemon out of a pool of literally hundreds, so it still feels weird to complain about Eviolite making Pokemon better than their evolved forms when in practice that hardly ever happens.
That said, it's true that Eviolite's existence has had an impact on the way evolution is handled in recent games: lines with three stages have become extremely rare outside of starters and pseudo-legendaries for example, and there tend to be a huge gap in BST between evolution stages too, regardless of if a middle one exists or not.
I'm still really salty that they got rid of so many good coverage moves like Jump Kick and Signal Beam but Attract, which is literally the most useless status effect in the games and one that's full of unfortunate implications on top of it, was allowed to stay.Exactly. I mean, they cut plenty of Pokémon and moves, couldn’t they have just trashed Eviolite while they were at it?
I would also argue that the addition of Eviolite was a huge factor in what made Spritzee an Little Cup Uber tho.lol, I can't believe I actually forgot about Galarian Corsola XD
