minus-square🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 ℹ️@yiffit.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-229 days agoPikachu’s pretty likable tho. Should he have said a more obscure one, like… IDK… Dewgong? Who the fuck thinks Dewgong is their favorite?
minus-squareOttoVonNoob@lemmy.caOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·29 days agoIt’s Pokemons mascot, the chosen one everyone’s supposed to love. Like big Nintendo is telling you to like the mouse!!! I mean I figured the joke would flow better. But frankly I don’t care for Pikachu unless it’s original chubby Pikachu.

minus-squareQueen HawlSera@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·29 days agoThing is… If your favorite is Pikachu and you’re not a 5 year old watching the anime… It means you don’t actually know many Pokémon. I have many favorites. Two of mine are Vaporeon and Alolan Marowak.
minus-squareTriflingToad@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·29 days agoPikachu has has shown the most personality out of all the pokemon and that’s why people are attracted to him.

minus-squareQueen HawlSera@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·29 days agoNot really now. I know it was an unwritten rule as a kid that your favorite couldn’t be Pikachu or you were the wuss who got bullied… Starting to think the people around me were toxic af now that I’m thinking back on it.
