I think Pikachu is the best choice honestly, due to his popularity, but if it had to be changed i could go with Dragonite. He is both a powerful and cute Pokemon, and having been around since G1 is also nostalgic. He can cater to a variety of audiences.

As for the worst mascot, I would go with Aipom. Those eyes look like they're staring into my soul. It's creepy.

Maybe a gen 1 starter like Charmander. Don't get me wrong, he's probably my least favorite gen 1 starter, but he appeals to both boys and girls. As for the stupidest idea, it has to be Purugly. Guys hate it, Girls hate it, it's just reeeeeaaaaaallly fat and ugly.


Pink Moon is on its way.

If they were to change the mascot, it would have to be some relevant, and they would have to do it on a per-generation basis. Otherwise, there would be no reason, besides having an up-to-date mascot.

In Gen 4, Riolu and Lucario would have worked. In Gen 5, Miccino or Zorua, I guess. In Gen 6, Pancham perhaps. Or perhaps starters.

Actually, scratch all that. If Eevee was a mascot, every region could have a new protagonist that raised a new eeveelution. Or Mew.

EDIT: Worst idea would be Garbodor.
