    Pikachus can be strong, I guess. You just have to give it macho brace and concentrate on EVs and give it Proteins and stuff. Also, they can know volt tackle if bred properly. (Volt tackle rules.) But it gets stronger when evolved, and wild ones are pathetic.

    • ok...it's all stated that Pikachu is overrated to some people, still popular to some people, and The Most Irritated Pokemon I know to majority of all people. I preferred that I dont care for the yellow rat. He's both Cute and Pathetic in my eyes, yea without Pikachu, pokemon wont be the same as we watch. but now look at the New season where new pokemon and region and etc. dont you think pikachu is not the only thing getting overrated actually the show getting overrated because we see the same people except Misty still tryna figure out why the heck they change it to Misty -> May -> Dawn, but cant change Ash into a new Trainer on an Adventure oh sure he can keep changing pokemon but that still nothing I would expected....I am going off topic anyway Pikachu is still popular but now getting too old and well they need to get a new pokemon now that is all...

    Pikachu is overrated, if you ask me. Not in the original, though. In the old days, Pikachu was cuter, not as hyped up, and had an actual personality instead of its usual thought, "i like ash i like ash ash is the best trainer ash rocks ash is the best." No, pikachu actually dissed Ash on several occasions, and had its own little quirks. Plus, no "iron tail" and "volt tackle." It was good old thundershock.

    Well, think of it this way...

    If Pikachu wasn't the icon, who else would be? Which other Pokemon has the charisma, yet neutrality to be the flagship Pokemon? Pikachu is cute and funny. It has a unique charm, which most Pokemon lack. Though it's far from one of my favorites, I can't deny that I would be hard pressed to come up with a better Pokemon to run the show.

    So I ask you, oh-thread-maker, why NOT Pikachu?

    • Seriously if Ash was on time the Pokemon icon/mascot would probably be Charmander or Squirtle, then again its only an anime so anything can happen

    I just watched the first episode a couple days ago. If Ash would have been early enough, his first choice was Squirtle. Then he chose Bulbasuar. Then he chose Charmander. Then Oak gave him Pikachu out of pity.
