It probably has to do with marketing. Because she doesn't watch Pokémon so she chose the mascot of it to identify as. And completely doesn't understand the point of not evolving it in the anime and attaching some "deeper" meaning to Pikachu than exists. Kinda makes me mad.

Its always been Ash & Pikachu, thats the brand of Pokemon... despite the favourites being different to Pikachu. Greninja was the most googled Pokemon of 2019, yet its never been the face of the brand. Its also the reason why Ash has never evolved Pikachu in all the 25 years they've been together, and the fact that Ash is still a 10 year old boy. Meanwhile Naruto is married with Hinata and has two kids Edited Wednesday at 03:37 PM by xoxo Craig End Racism Now Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

Yes. Thank you. 100% this. This was a marketing decision based on the popularity Pikachu had and how it became the face of the brand. So they chose not to evolve it. It's not a message saying that it's cute but powerful like Chained to the Rhythm. 1 Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

Gangie 3,503 Posted Wednesday at 03:51 PM Yes,I can agree with that. It’s because both of them are never evolving If I like it, then that's what I get! 1 Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
