Would you like to see a Mega Pikachu?

Edited this thread a little to be more clear since there isn't news of a Mega Pikachu being available.

To answer the question, no, I'm good I think. Raichu's more deserving of a mega imo and I think it has potential to look really awesome while providing it that needed boost in power (especially competitively). Can't even picture what a mega version of Pikachu would look like. At least Pikachu has a Light Ball it can use.. But Raichu as the evolution of the mascot deserves a little something extra. [:

    No. I think it's about time to let Raichu shine a bit.

    I mean Pikachu is Pikachu, even if they give Raichu a mega, Pikachu will still be the mascot.

    The problem is if Raichu get a mega, pikachu is really nothing more than a mascot.
    90 base speed, it is not that good since maybe gen 4, if u dont outspeed, pikachu die, if u dont OHKO, pikachu die.

    Light Ball. And with better pure Electric-types out there, it's not like Pikachu's gonna miss out on anything. Raichu, on the other hand, is pretty much nonexistent if you consider its pre-evolutions' exposure in advertisements - a mega is a good way for it to gain some positive exposure for once.

    If Pikachu ends up ever getting a Mega then Audino should get an evolution...

    I rather Raichu get a Mega. It can be Electric/Fighting for Stab Focus Blast. Plus a Fighting Electric Kangaroo rat is an awesome concept.

    Pikachu is already "just the mascot" Sure it's sorta cute, but there are WAAAY better options out there IMO
    so I hope not!

    Pikachu can already put on clothes and say its name as its cry and even make use of the Light Ball. I don't think it needs a Mega on top of that.

    The only NFE Pokémon that should get a Mega--and even then it's questionable--is Eevee. Not Pikachu. Mega Raichu 2016!

    NOPE TOTALLY NOT
    I'm sorry but Pikachu cannot get a mega or else I'll just quit Pokémon honestly, don't get me wrong I love Pikachu but sometimes it's hype gets so annoying. Plus that would just screw up mega-evolution, seriously. A mega-evolution is beyond evolution, and Pikachu is the middle volition of its line. I would love if Raichu got a mega because it deserves one, and it's fully evolved

    IF it does get a mega (And I really really really X 100000000000 hope not) I hope they don't screw it up and make something like Ash-Greninja
