Pikachu is my favorite Pokemon, and I don't know why anymore. It is just plain awesome. I think Pikachu is my favorite because I was a little kid when the anime started, and I was all like "Pikachu is teh best Pokemonz ever!" Ever since then, I had a little Pikachu plushie, which reminds me of those days before I figured out that Pikachu isn't too great. But yeah. Pikachu is my absolute favorite, closely followed by Raichu. I basically treated Pichu as if it didn't exist..
