But seriously.

I was wondering why you think that Pikachu isn't so popular anymore. He is, after all, the classic face of the Pokemon franchise, right? There are almost 500 different choices, after all, but still; why has he lost his appeal?

(unlike the 27 thread, this one has a real purpose to be discussed. I don't even main Pikachu. But he does deserve better than this... I guess... if he did CARE that is...)

I was in about the 2nd when SSB came out, and I was into Poke'mon at the time, so that's how I started playing Pikachu. I stuck with the little rascal outta pure loyalty for his awesomeness.

What are you talking about? My thread is asking the exact same question as this one.

I suppose because people feel other Pokemon would be better. Of course, theyre wrong. Pikachu is one of the 4 that Sakurai is not permitted to leave out of Smash i believe. (Well, not just sakurai, the future makers too) These were Mario, Kirby, Link, and Pikachu.

Because they are the prime representatives of the 4 most successful (Sorry to say Dk isnt as popular anymore, **** the people who didnt buy jungle beat, and **** nintendo for not being able to make a DK game as great as DK64. MAKE A GREAT DK PLATFORMER PLEASE!!) Nintendo series.

Plus, he's Pikachu, whats not awesome about him?

However, I still think other Pokemon should have been in too. Hippowdown = awesome. lol.

Seriously though. Hippowdown for SSB4!! (I dont know why, but I love Hippowdon.)

Maybe, I dunno, 'cause Pikachu's the mascot of the series? More to the point, he's awesome! I can't imagine Smash without Pikachu.
