You guys don't know why Pichu was in?
Lesse...to represent the newest generation of Pokemon at the time? Marril and Togepi would've been good candidates, but considering that the six clones weren't even planned in the beginning, they decided to make clones, and Pichu is a better choice than Raichu because:
1) Popularity. Pichu's had exposure in a few mini movies and episodes (more than Raichu, at any rate), and because he's yellow he's a lot more recognizable as being related to Pikachu than Raichu is.
2) Pikachu was sluggish enough in Melee. Having a lighter, faster version makes a lot more sense to me.
I don't understand why Pichu's inclusion is so confusing....unless, y'know...you're a first gen *****. In that case, that's not surprising at all.
