Tajiri didn't intend for it to exist, you dumb c**t. That's why he outright removed it, instead of telling the OG designer to go back and re-draw it because it's almost a pokémon.

There's plenty of Pokémon that should get a cross-gen pre-evo. There's plenty of existing Pokémon who should be Baby Pokémon. Raichu feels fine as final evo. Also, Pichu is cute.
Baby Pokémon are cute. You don't really need any more reason than that.
This. We're long overdue for new pre-evos. Game Freak has finally removed what made Gen 3 and 4 pre-evos terrible, so here's hoping they'll return and better if it makes the competitive players seethe. Play Little Cup.

What Pokemon would you guys actually want to see get a pre-evo? For me, it's Onix, Not only would it be cute, it would actually make sense.
a pre-evo is just fanart/merch fodder, in game it's just an extra stepping stone that you can usually just skip entirely and which historically locks out an under-evolved pokemon from ever getting a final stage. No pokemon deserves that
Several. There's enough to fill about a third of a generation or a side game that focuses on Pokémon breeding. >More like Tyrogue: Combining evolution lines of very similar counterpart Pokémon such as Tauros and Miltank, Plusle and Minun, Throh and Sawk, and controversially, the elemental monkeys. >More like Happiny: Better game balance when it comes to Little Cup and overall power levels between BSTs and evolution stages. A BST of 400 is a good limit for first stages and any higher would need some form of nerf. Scyther and Duraludon are two good examples of being too strong for that power level. >First and single stage species that look awkward hatching out of eggs because of their large size. Examples include Onix and the Gen 9 Pokémon designed for SV's Titan battles. >Kangaskhan: Many, including me, agree that the baby needs to be a pre-evo. >Skarmory: How come it didn't get one, yet its counterpart, Mantine, did?
I don't give a single frick about Goruchu. There. I said it. It can only be a downgrade compared to Raichu. Like that art for example is terrible and I'm tired of nerds drooling over it. >Dude what if I remove one of the most recognizable elements of Raichu which are his long paws that show what animal it's based on. Also please conveniently forget he grows large paws and then they shrink back to Pikachu size for ??? reasons. Definitely not extremely strange. >Dude what if I remove the cool original ears and replace them with ordinary boring spikes. >Let's also add another random spike to the tail to destroy the strong and awesome thunderbolt symbol design. >To top this shit cake off let's slap a sticker on the forehead.
Demons and onis are cool but that's where it ends.
>Pokemon's mascot is part of a line that peaks at a paltry 485 BST, and people are apparently okay with this
Is there any other franchise where the mascot is totally fricking useless in the game it's from?
>Is there any other franchise where the mascot is totally fricking useless in the game it's from?
Yes, Dark Magician and Blue Eyes White Dragon are both baby tier decks in YGO. Also why the frick does the mascot need to be competitively viable, Gamefreak does not know shit about balance and makes shillmons fricking broken, see both forms of Megazard, you're moronic for wanting them to lean more into that.
>interview mentioned a potential but scrapped design >someone makes a mockup >people parade the mockup as if it were real and say they were robbed
If Gorochu didn't happen in Gen 1 then it was never gonna happen.
or they can canonize a fourth evolution anyway because if you think about it the 3-stages limit makes no sense. Although it is already canon so idk, maybe more of an alternate dimension thing where pokemon can evolve limitlessly
babies were unnecessary unless it was a branching evolution
Nothing of value was lost
>dude what if we took raichu and made it fatter and slap a bunch of spikes on it
>raichu, but fatter and with a bunch of spikes slapped on
Based. Just as Tajiri intended.

Mega/Paradox Raichu if real
Fat mons should return
Obesity is a dissease
you can use reductive language on literally every evolution

Idiot it was the other way around. Gorochu was never going to happen. It was removed before babies were ever considered.
>headcanon
Good, raichu's perfect.
any romhacks which add him

Man a babby Skarmory would be really fricking cute. I already adore the steel bird.

This Gorochu design is a fakemon and I'm tired of pretending it's not

raichu and pikachu have both been viable in PvP
maybe you should stop being bad at the game

> Ignoring light ball and how EVs make it scale further than 2x
But Raichu has been viable in competitive play.

babyBlack folk killed pokemania
we can have four stage pokemon, why the frick not.
The babies are better than that.
they can still make megaraichu
or they can canonize a fourth evolution anyway because if you think about it the 3-stages limit makes no sense. Although it is already canon so idk, maybe more of an alternate dimension thing where pokemon can evolve limitlessly
Babies are fine.
Mega Raichu or a branch evolution for Pikachu are still in the cards.
Raichu sexo
