Chubby or Skinny Pikachu?
 
Which is better the Chubby Pikachu design, or the Skinny Pikachu design?

Chubby (1995-2001)

I don't have any particular problem with skinny Pikachu, but I do prefer the original, chubbier Pikachu.

LilyAnn January 26th, 2014 9:43 PM

I like the skinnier one. More adorable imo :3

Hikamaru January 26th, 2014 9:50 PM

I like skinnier Pikachu, it's way cuter.

Miracle Seed January 26th, 2014 10:36 PM

fat chubby pika is cute, if I had a prefrence. The random slimming in the anime was weird

Brendino January 26th, 2014 11:19 PM

I don't really have a preference for either, but I guess if I had to pick one, I'd go with the skinnier Pikachu. It looks like it's able to go much faster now than before, which makes it more of a threat overall, I'd think.

And since this is a choice A vs. choice B style poll, I'll move this thread over to Pokemon Voting Polls for you.

MOVED.

Design-wise, I prefer chubby Pikachu. It looks a lot cuter. If these two went head-to-head in a battle though, the skinnier one would most likely turn out to be the victor. Due to its size and shape, it would be able to strike faster and land harder hits. :p

Chubby all the way! Just love the old gen I and II sprites :3 I think in the anime, the skinnier one was a bit better though. So maybe not chubby all the way ;)

Raine January 27th, 2014 9:50 PM

Chubby version is definitely more adorable. He looks so huggable!

ερhεmεяaℓ. January 27th, 2014 10:50 PM

Chubby Pikachu, for sure. :D

Golden Warrior January 28th, 2014 12:08 AM

Hm... I honestly don't really have a preference, but the chubby Pikachu is the one I'm more familiar with, so I'll say chubby. (What? My first game was Yellow, which Pikachu do you think I'd be familiar with?! XD)

I prefer the chubbier one as it's cuter.

DarkCloud1267 January 28th, 2014 5:31 AM

Hmmmm.....while i love the fatter version for nostalgic reasons i gotta go with skinny. The skinner version just seems so much more nimble and quick making it a more fearsom opponent. just look at how athletic and quick ash's pikachu is these days

Boilurn January 30th, 2014 9:22 PM

I'm in favor of more realistic designs, so skinny Pikachu gets my vote; Chubby Pikachu looks like it's painted out of an egg, while Skinny looks more like a mouse than an egg.

Sniper January 30th, 2014 9:24 PM

I'd like that Chubby Pikachu. Skinny looks crap and what I like is a cute Pika.

Glameow February 2nd, 2014 12:08 AM

I love chunky pika's sprites. Too adorable. The slimmer one works I guess due to how quick it's supposed to be opposed to Raichu who is chubbier

Sirfetch’d February 2nd, 2014 9:29 AM

Chubby for nostalgia purposes :D I just think it's so cute and huggable :3 I want to give it one right now!

Powerstars February 2nd, 2014 11:23 AM

I like chubby Pikachu, I don't know why. I sort of liked it the most during the GS period of the anime where it seemed a little slimmer than Gen I, but still very chubby.

Evening February 2nd, 2014 2:12 PM

Pikachu looks fast, and being chubby doesn't fit it.
My vote goes to skinny Pikachu, it looks better anyway.

Inb4 chubby looks way cuter.

Golurks Were Meant to Fly February 2nd, 2014 2:52 PM

Chubby is really cute, but I'm kinda used to the skinny one. And I feel like chubby pika looks super similar to Dedenne so I'm cool with skinny!

Elaitenstile February 2nd, 2014 10:12 PM

Well, the chubby one isn't slow just so you know. C-Pika is shaped more like a mouse, something which went awry after he got onto the treadmill. It's just that C-Pika would be more used to moving on four legs, and with that comes less agility, but he would get a top speed advantage. C-Pika also looks adorable and huggable, that's something else that wasn't shown in Pikachu any more. Pikachu is a more self-standing Pokémon now, and it is much more fit to take in a journey. But shouldn't be compared to a rodent any more, though.

disciplish February 3rd, 2014 2:00 PM

Skinny Pikachu, but that's because it's much leaner and faster, which is realistic for a mouse; and also because a big thing in the anime with Quick Attack and Electro Ball for it to have that speed.

Shhmew February 7th, 2014 6:46 PM

Definitely chubby <3 <3 I've always preferred Pikachu the chubby way. The slimmer version looks so awkward to me. I just wanna hug the chubbier one and pet it and eee <3

I guess Pikachu just lost a lot of weight from training and traveling though. :P

isthatyoudan February 7th, 2014 7:00 PM

I like the chubby one. Just like my opinion of Sonic the Hedgehog! :)
Even though skinny is easier to draw for me.

Puddle February 7th, 2014 7:04 PM

Chubby Pikachu. It's a ball of cuteness! However, a speedy Pikachu does make sense and the only way to have this is through skinny Pilachu.
