Do You Evolve Your Pikachus?

[Emlam]

It's true, the ears are a pretty important part of it. ^^

 

[HugSomebody]

I love Raichu's ears. <33 And I don't see why I wouldn't evolve my Pikachu. Raichu's stronger and has a cool look.

 

[Flare Riqueza]

They're all cute!

I'm on SoulSilver, raising up my Pikachu-Coloured-Pichu to evolve, but I don't know if I will...

...I mean, it really looks like Ethan/Gold!!!

And if I do evolve it, I dunno if I wanna evolve it again, coz I don't like Shiny Raichu, but I wanna see Notch-Eared-Pichu running around with Pikachu-Coloured-Raichu-That-Isn't-Pikachu-Coloured in Ilex Forest.

I think I'll evolve it, teach it Dig, and evolve it once I've beaten Red's Pikachu with Dig. Shame there's special reactions on Mount Silver for Pikachu, but not Raichu.

I never evolve my main Pikachu but I will evolve one to get Raichu in my pokedex. My team Pikachu stays a Pikachu though, despite the fact that Raichu may be tougher, I just never have. I love Pikachu too much to evolve him. :3

 

[Melody]

I do whenever I have a Thunderstone handy, as long as it's above level 40.

I love Raichu. :D
Now I can understand how some people might not like Raichu, but it's so sad that so many people ignore such a powerful pokemon. :D

 

[Esmas]

I do evolve one Pikachu for Pokédex purposes, but for the rest of the game I usually keep a Pichu.

 

[mikey]

Yeah, I usually try to evolve Pikachu right away. It's not that I don't like Pikachu, I just like Raichu's better xD

 

[Cloche]

Since I have MAJOR OCD, I have a Pichu, Pikachu, and a Raichu. :P
So, I sometimes evolve them, whenever I need a Raichu. Not to mention; Raichu is way cooler than Pikachu.

 

[SparklingMistral]

Sometimes. If I need a Raichu, then I'll hunt down a Thunder Stone to evolve it. Otherwise, it typically stays as a Pichu or Pikachu.

 

[MagitekElite]

I don't. The first Pikachu I catch will stay as a Pikachu. Unless I want to complete the Pokedex, then I'll catch another and evolve it lol

 

[ShadowYashi]

I do. Once Pikachu is at the level where it stops learning its moves, usually around level 50 or something, I evolve it, because I adore Raichu, once of my favorite electric and it was the first Pokemon I ever got to level 100. But I traded it to a friend and never got it back D':
I wanted LT Surge's Raichu to beat Pikachu. C'mon Surge's Raichu was so bada$$ and the poor thing gets no love, in the games or anime! So much so infact that its been over shadowed by its Pre freaking Evolution Pichu. Pichu gets a movie to it and what does Raichu get? A battle where it beats the snot out of Pikachu and then gets its but whooped later in the episode.
Raichu was first darn it! Show it more love Nintendo! D:<
Pikachu the overrated mouse can go suck on a rock.

 

[Jack Kentnon]

The only reason (and I do mean ONLY), I catch a Pikachu, is because I want to raise a Raichu.

I even traded Pickachu to Red or Blue in order to get a Raichu in Yellow (when I would borrow it from my friend).

Now if you need me, I will be in the angrydome, ranting some more.
