      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

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

      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.
