The oeverexposure is a big factor yes (Pikachu and Charizard are pretty much the official whores of the franchise). Gets more variants than Charizard, and gets variants solely so that it can be shoehorned in context where there’s no need for it, such as flying battles. Doesn’t help that originally Pikachu was more rotund but in the later seasons of the anime and since around G5 in the games they gave it anime hero body proportions, which also sucks.

Haven’t written any Pikachu in my works so far because why would I, I hate it. But if I ever need to have some bit NPC be outright demolished and mauled in a fight, Pikachu is among the top candidates.

Pikachu (the Pokémon, not the evolutive line).

They had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

I hear S/V is quite hardcore, a true test to gamer fidelity, patience and judgment by spending ~47 min in the first cutscene.

Wow, they are so lonely that they go to jail? Considering that Japan youth and workers love suicide, I wonder what that says of that fall of culture.

Not that I’m an .ml member but, thanks for considering this in the first place.

This might be very good news! It’s always good to see fandoms weening away from fandom.com / wikia and leaning instead towards selfhosted, or at least something like Miraheze.

If this catches up soon enough, I might change all my links from the fandom wiki to the new one.

They could steal your personal data without you knowing.

Hah! Like the “legal” services are much better than that!
