Top 10 Characters That Should Be the Face of Pokemon Instead of Pikachu
The Top Ten
Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Charizard first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. They have later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated ...read more. I disagree with this list. I'm happy with the way things are now. - Pokemonfan10
He's the face of the Trading Card games easily, anyone remember the high fetch price for the 1st Edition Charizard card from the first set?
He should only be the mascot assuming if Pikachu stops being marketable. - VioletParr89
He is overrated but better tan Pikachu - LoboMaloso
It would be unfair to the other starters to make Charizard the mascot. It might be better if Charizard wasn't a starter Pokemon; in that case, I totally agree. - whattheheckamidoing
Eevee, known in Japan as Eievui, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Yes. This pokémon is cute and cool, so if Pikachu ever retired then Eevee could do just as well.
We need a cute little furry friend that evolves into cool things, not a squealing little yellow rat
Eevee is beast its best evolution is Vaporeon - peppapigdasavage
Ok but it has too many evolutions now.
He is a underappreciated Pokemon - LoboMaloso
Yeah pidgeotto is a cool dude, definitely deserves it more than these gay ass eevees and chazirards
Blastoise, known in Japan as Kamex, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. #ShellShocker4President
WHY - Dragoniterocks
Ditto, known in Japan as Metamon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Super duper weird dude that can transform. Normal form looks like candy. I went to niagra on the lake today.
Psyduck, known in Japan as Koduck, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Lame Pokemon but very funny - LoboMaloso
You guys know this is junichi masudas favourite pokemon right
Togepi, known in Japan as Togepy, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It would be funny to see ash with a togepi and it doesn't really fit in the anime then because pikachu is a mouse and meowth a cat so an egg vs a cat. The cat will win -.-
It way more cute than picachu
Vulpix, known in Japan as Rokon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Cute, strong, and energetic! I would really like to see how the story would change if this little sexy creature was Ash's partner.
Who doesn't love vulpix? Vul! Vulpix!
Mew is one of the fictional species of creatures from Nintendo's and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise created by Satoshi Tajiri. Mew is so adorable
Hell yes! New rocks!
One of the most iconic Pokemon and a great way to potrait Pokemon
I meant mew
Arceus is a legendary Pokémon from the Pókemon series. He first appeared in the 18th Pokémon movie alongside other Legendary Pokémon. I am the guy who wrote that charizard would be really damn bad and I wanna say he would be great since he is God of Pokemon
Arceus is the god of Pokemon. That should surely be the face of the Pokemon franchise right?
The god of Pokemon. Enough said.
Arceus should be the main Pokemon since he's the god of Pokemon
The Contenders
Lucario is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Lucario first appeared as a central character in the film Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and later appeared in the video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and subsequent sequels, also appearing ...read more. Should be #3 or #4 (but not as an outright Pikachu replacement, but as the official secondary mascot for the latter Generations! )
Lucario is pretty much the de-facto mascot for Gen IV, which is why he's been in Smash for 3 games now (same goes for Charizard, and Mewtwo).
If we we to go by ranking on Mascots by generations:
Pikachu (worldwide mascot, basically the Mario of the series, nothing can ever replace him, except for more Pika clones).
Jigglypuff (was originally intended to be the secondary mascot in the anime and the games before being phased out in favor of Meowth (in the anime at least due to being an annoying pest), and Charizard).
Charizard (is pretty much secondary mascot in the series, very popular worldwide, if Pika stops becoming Pokemon's mascot, Zard should take his place, but that's only if Pokemon stops being marketable).
Mewtwo (pretty much the Bowser/Ganondorf of the Pokemon world, despite not owning up to that legacy, ...more - VioletParr89
Lucario is a very good spirted pokemon he should have been
It's a popular Pokemon.
Zigzagoon, known in Japan as Jiguzaguma, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
Clefairy, known in Japan as Pippi, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. HISTORY LESSON! Did you know Ash was supposed to have a Clefairy? Then all this attention would go to Clefairy
They should gone with the first thought. I mean, I'd be halarious to see ash with a clefairy
I LOVE CLEFAIRY - leepee
Bulbasaur, known in Japan as Fushigidane, is the first Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It's the starter nobody likes sooo
Evee's awesome
He IS technically recorded as the first Pokemon in the Pokedex. Eh, at least he's the mascot of Bulbapedia. - ModernSpongeBobSucks
First ever Pokemon designed so why not?
Well, he was the first Pokemon ever
First pocket monster
Aww u guys stole my thing! I wanted to say it was first Pokemon!
Magneton, known in Japan as Rarecoil, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. kidding? - Dragoniterocks
Are you kidding me?
Nosepass, known in Japan as the same name, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. You're kidding... Nosepass stinks!
Meowth, known in Japan as Nyarth, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Already meowth looks like he could be no. 1 Pokemon and great looks for Pokemon pictures
Come on. Meowth is the main Pokemon in the anime besides Pikachu! It's perfect!
<3~
Umm...that's a shiny...
noo - Dragoniterocks
Do u think a grandpa yeti will do?
Magikarp, known in Japan as Koiking, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It resembles an orange fish with whiskers. It was created by Ken Sugimori, Magikarp first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. It is a water type that evolves ...read more. Flop flop on the cover of a Pokemon game
Hello God of Pokemon! enough said.
ALL HAIL THE KING MAGIKARP AND QUEEN MAGIKARP!
No. Just, no.
Pre-evolution - Dragoniterocks
No just no
Celebi, known in Japan as the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
Mewtwo is a fictional creature from Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. It was created by Dr. Fuji in an attempt to clone Mew. Mewtwo isn't technically a Pokemon since it was created in a lab so I don't think it would be a good mascot, don't get me wrong though Mewtwo is awesome
Why would mewtwo be number 1 Pokemon he's evil in most games
It's me tinned to be "The Strongest Pokémon" until Arceus came. Still, he will always be one of the strongest Pokémon out there. Therefore, he would be a good symbol to Pokémon, that's why I voted this item. Now enough talk.
Mewto sounds like a great idea. Mewto is the REAL God/Godess of Pokemon.
Jigglypuff, known in Japan as Purin, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. No. - DinoLover4242
Onix, known in Japan as Iwark, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Give it a pre-evolution that could be a mascot - Dragoniterocks
Arcanine, known in Japan as Windie, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
Espeon, known in Japan as Eifie, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It is so amazing. - Zapreil
I don't think an eeveelution would be great for mascot
Zekrom, known in Japan as the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
Jolteon, known in Japan as Thunders, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
Pichu is an Electric type Baby Pokémon introduced in Gen. 2. It evolves into Pikachu. It is in the in undiscovered egg group, since it's a baby Pokémon. It is No. 172 in the Pokedex. It can be called a joke character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, because of its awful stats and weak moves. After its ...read more. Just not strong in Melee.
Pichu is stronger and cuter than all the Pokemon ever even with all the Pokemon combinded
I wouldn't care if picture was main Pokemon because he is in dam dads doo dam dad I doo di the
What PICHU IS DAMN WEAKER THAN PIKACHU AND ARCEUS AND KYOGRE AND GROUDON AND MEW AND THE 649! (Is it 649? )
Sceptile, known in Japan as Jukain, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
Charmander, known in Japan as Hitokage, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Wow,he should be at least No.5,so pikachu’s just rubbish.
Raichu, known in Japan as the same name, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Does a better job being cool and cute at the same time.
Groudon, known in Japan as the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
Gengar, known in Japan by the same name, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. I do think that this Pokémon is epic, But he should not be the main mascot of Pokémon.
Dragonite, known in Japan as Kairyu, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It's a pseudo legendary but not an actual legendary so I think it would be good.
Best pokemon ever - Dragoniterocks
WOOT THAT'D BE AWESOME

Squirtle, known in Japan as Zenigame, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
Jynx is created game freak & Nintendo. It was first introduced in Pokemon red, green (blue outside Japan), and yellow version. It could be based on a lot of different things (not Nikki as she was not popular when Pokemon started)... for example ganguro, a trend for woman in Japan in the 1990’s (hence ...read more.
Muk, known in Japan as Betbeton, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Yes! Give it to the piece of sludge. For how dated Pokémon is going.
