Do You Evolve Your Pikachus?

[Blu Beast Damon]

I like Pika more then Rai. Idk, blame the anime that I've been watching since I was in Kindergarten :/

 

[Niprop]

I keep a Raichu and a Pikachu holding a light ball for double battling purposes. Why chose when you can have both?

 

[Aureol]

I always do. Even if I didn't evolve every Pokemon regardless, the anime has made Pikachu into a very poor mascot. Heck, the fact that I have to get Pikachu first is a good enough reason for me to avoid having a Raichu on my team >_<

 

[SinisterEternity]

I normally don't, because I find Pikachu is cutter xD
Raichu may be stronger, but eeeh...I don't like them much xD

 

[loliwin]

I dont evolve my Pikachus, theyre more cuter than Raichus! XD

 

[Neurotripsy]

I like Raichu better, so I always evolve it.

 

[joaowojcikiewicz]

sometimes, when I need to complete my dex

 

[ladyfiaragc]

I enjoy Pikachu, and I believe he is way more cute than Raichu... but honestly... the Pikachu I had was absolutely horrible. Since I evolved it, and leveled it a few more levels, this Raichu is awesome, and way better than my Pikachu ever was.

 

[Jack]

Pikachu FTW, neverr !! I used to play Pkm Yellow, yupp had pikachu all the way to lvl 100 ! Raichu is just too... NOT pikachu.

 

[Masterge77]

Yes, definetly, I love Raichu to death indeed......

 

[Emlam]

Pikachu is pretty cute, Raichu looks AWESOME though. Better colors, nice design, intimidating but elegant.

Of course, Ash's Pika will always be better than Surge's Rai. Man, I was like 7 years old but I loved that battle.
First-season Pokemon FTW.

 

[Itz Spadezz]

I always evolve my Pikachu. Sure Pikachu may be more appealing to the eye than Raichu but Pikachu just has horrible defense. So instead of fainting over and over with Pikachu I just evolve it. Also I'm more of a Raichu person.

 

[Agent Clank]

I never Evolve my Pikachus.
I like them better as Pikachus,Cause i have a Lv:100 Pikachu that I trained all by Myself with No Cheats :)

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

If I were to catch one, I would evolve it ASAP. The less time spent looking at that sickening thing, the better.

Then there's the whole "Raichu has better stats argument," and Light Ball can crawl into a hole and die.

 

[Dubstep]

Pikachu's cute, but I've always preferred Raichu for stats and appearance. If I have just one, I'll definitely evolve it, but if possible I'll have both.

 

[Sydian]

I have to evolve that little scumbag rat. I hate Pikachu. Raichu is so much better, cuter, and not annoying in any way whatsoever.

 

[Emlam]

LAI LAI!!!
I even like its voice better.

 

[Kai Yamato]

Yes. They'd have to stand a chance against the Elite Four. x.x;

 

[adhdguitar]

I evolved my Surfing Pikachu from Heart Gold but I kept my Diamond Pikachu a Pikachu.

 

[KnilShadowLink]

Ehh...If I have a Light Ball I might not evolve Pikachu, but for the most part I usually go for Raichu. I know that Pikachu has a higher Attack and Special Attack with the Light Ball, but I like Raichu more, becuase it still has decent Attack & Special Attack, it's more bulky, AND IT'S FASTER!! ANIME LOGIC IS A FAIL!!!!

Now if Pikachu had cool ears, and an awesome lightning bolt shaped tail, maybe I'd reconsider my evolvtions more often...
