Because only streamers who actually like pokemon and aren’t just shills would know the names of obscure pokemon
Comment on When the streamer says their favourite pokemon is Pikachu...

Pikachu’s pretty likable tho.
Should he have said a more obscure one, like… IDK… Dewgong?

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 2 weeks 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.

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.
This logic is nonsense.

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

Lorelei.
Gen 1 Aurora Beam has a niche.

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.
