I was wondering... why was Pikachu Pokemon's mascot??? Why not any of the starter Pokemon or Pachirisu???
i think lightning summed up everything. she is right.I would say Pachirisu isn't the main character because they came up with it roughly 9 years after Pokémon began. :( "We're still working on a better ____" may work well as a slogan for PC, but I don't think a major franchise would have the same luck with a mascot.
Um, that said, I can see why they'd use Pikachu. It's an endearing character, and the name is just exotic enough so that people can easily remember it, but it's something new and fresh all at the same time. Design-wise, I find it more interesting that the Kanto starters. Yellow with those bright red cheeks again, is very memorable and when you're trying to pick something that will associate with your franchise for ages, you really want to stick with something easily recognisable. There may be unrelated reasons, but that probably had something to do with it. :|

Because the writers decide to make Pikachu the mascot. ^^~
-simple as that-
Yeah as strange as it sounds, whenever I think of Pokemon I always think of Charmander instead, probably as he is one of my favourite. I could imagine it being Charmander as the mascot, but I do inderstand why Pikachu was picked. God imagine what the anime would be like if Pikachu DID choose to evolve into Raichu to beat the gym leader Surge?
