pichu and pikachu and raichu

I like all three quite a lot but I think a lot of my Pikachu bias comes from playing with them in Smash aside from it being the series icon. I admit I kinda forgot Raichu existed except for the cute Alolan form... I wish Fat Pikachu and Raichu had stayed a design constant.
 
Ohoho looks like most are going for Raichu. I shall not change this. Among the three love Raichu the best, and the addition of an Alolan form escalated that for me. Also, in Sinnoh, Ash's Pikachu gets bashed by Raichu, and as a kid that was a first for me, an "antagonist" overwhelming the protagonist, so I thought Raichu was OP.
Go, Raichu!
 
Oh wow, a lot of Raichu fans in this thread. Good taste, blessed thread.

Definitely part of the Raichu > Pichu > Pikachu gang, though I love all of 'em. They're all adorable in completely equal and vastly different ways, but while Pikachu is cute and very recognizable as the mascot of the franchise, I just couldn't possibly rate it higher than the cute lil shock bean and The Absolute Boy™ himself.
 
I'll have to say Raichu > Pikachu > Pichu. Raichu is a good combination of cuteness, personality, and general coolness; definitely a solid 8/10 Pokémon design. Pikachu, for the longest time, I was mostly neutral about but nowadays I like it more than I dislike it; it's a solid, marketable design and I don't think I can bring myself to hate it. However, I just am not a fan of Pichu. Maybe it could be a "I dislike baby Pokémon" bias though as well as me not being too much of a fan of overly cute Pokémon.
 
Alolan Raichu > Pichu > Pikachu > regular Raichu > G-Max Pikachu. May be a tad bitter that G-Max Pikachu became an Uber while Bulbasaur was left in the dust lol.
 
I absolutely adore Pikachu and Raichu. Pikachu is cute, smart, and cheerful, and I've got a giant Pikachu plush. On the other hand, Raichu is more reliable in battle, as it's stronger (unless you count the Light Ball), bulkier, and faster. Alolan Raichu is very cute, and it has a neat typing.

Pichu, on the other hand, is the weak link of the line. It may be cute, but it's less reliable or iconic than Pikachu and Raichu.
