Pikachu's pretty likable tho.

Should he have said a more obscure one, like... IDK... Dewgong? Who the fuck thinks Dewgong is their favorite?

[-] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

It'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.

Just liking something that's the most popular thing doesn't mean that you can't still really appreciate it and be in that subculture

[-] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Because only streamers who actually like pokemon and aren't just shills would know the names of obscure pokemon

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Lorelei.

Gen 1 Aurora Beam has a niche.

Thing 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.

Are we gatekeeping what pokemon people are allowed to like now?

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Not 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.

Pokémon yellow was popular as fuck when it came out for a reason.

We all grew up around toxic shits, kids be that way.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Because it was based on the anime

I can name all original 150 and quite a few new ones; Pikachu is still my favorite because of the TV series. My favorite game in the series is Yellow because you get him as a starter and he follows you on screen.

This logic is nonsense.

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Pikachu has has shown the most personality out of all the pokemon and that's why people are attracted to him.
