I just wish they gave the electric mice realistic fur. If it's good enough for Lucario then the Chus should have it too.
Not really. The thing is, Pikachu and Pichu are cute because of how unrealistic and cartoony they are. Trying to make them more realistic, like by giving them fur textures, tends to make them look off. Lucario gets away with it because Lucario's design is meant to be cool or a little intimidating, and it's generally a very serious Pokemon with a design that translates a little better to a less cartoony environment. Pokken highlights this pretty well. Look at Lucario and Pikachu in that game. Pikachu has realistic fur there and that plus the overly serious, competitive personality of that Pikachu prevent him from being as cute as he's supposed to be. (Pikachu Libre manages to be cute by covering most of that fur and remaining cheerful, but she still doesn't look as good as Pikachu usually does) Lucario looks pretty normal, besides the odd animation. Lucario's design just translates better to a more realistic appearance than the lightning rats'.
This is also why Bowser and the Kongs have realistic scales/fur textures and voice effects, while Yoshi remains more properly voiced, unrealistically textured, and cute.
- Keep Nair as it was in Melee, or better.
- Bring back the little green backpack alt (I think I'm the only one who used this over the goggles).
- Make him a hard counter to Bayonetta.
These are the three things I want out of Pichu in Ultimate.
Yes! Especially hard countering Bayonetta! It's hysterical to imagine the cocky, overpowered Umbra Witch getting just destroyed by the cuddly little lightning mouse not even a quarter of her size.
Main thing I want costume-wise though is just keeping the scarves. I loved those too in Melee, and Pikachu only getting the goggles makes him look a bit naked compared to Pichu wearing them plus a scarf. I REALLY hope Pichu gets a bunch of different colored accessories and scarves, if only for adorableness.
Hello, fellow Pichu fans! I really should've come to this thread earlier. Pichu and Young Link are the veterans I've been most excited to see return in Smash Ultimate (though after going back to Brawl, I'm really happy to see the Pokemon Trainer and their full team back as well), and I'm glad to talk to other people who look forward to destroying everything with the embodiment of adorableness.
Plus he's adorable, so that's always a good thing.
