Top 10 Characters that Should Be the Face of Pokemon Instead of Pikachu
Now, don't get us wrong - we all adore Pikachu. It's impossible to ignore the charm of the cute, yellow, electrifying creature who's been the franchise's poster child since its inception. But we all know the Pokemon world is filled with more than a thousand wonderfully unique creatures. Some of them are perhaps even equally, if not more, deserving to take center stage.So, who could step into Pikachu's tiny, lightning-quick shoes? Is it the fiery Charizard, or the majestic Mewtwo? Perhaps it's the adorable Bulbasaur, or the mysterious Eevee with its many evolutions?
Imagine the Pokemon universe through a different lens. Think about the character's abilities, personality, and the impact they've had on your own Pokemon journey. Consider their evolution lines, their legendary battles, and the pivotal role they've played in saving your skin during those intense gym battles.
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 and printed adaptations of the franchise. Shin-ichiro Miki, the actor who voices James in the original... read more 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.
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.
We need a gender-neutral Pokemon. If Charizard was the mascot,then no girls would watch or play Pokemon anymore,which means Pokemon's audience would be decreased by a surprising amount.
Eevee, known in Japan as Eievui, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise first introduced in the games Pokemon Red and Blue. Considered as the evolution Pokemon, it has the most evolutions out of all Pokemon species. Eevee can evolve to Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon depending on the method used. It serves as the mascot in the game Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee! We need a cute little furry friend that evolves into cool things, not a squealing little yellow rat
Yes. This pokémon is cute and cool, so if Pikachu ever retired then Eevee could do just as well.
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.
Blastoise, known in Japan as Kamex, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
Psyduck, known in Japan as Koduck, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
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 -.-
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.
Mew is a Psychic-type Mythical Pokémon created by Nintendo's and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. Designed by Satoshi Tajiri, it was introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue. Mew is capable of learning every move in the games (except signature moves of certain Pokémon), and can shapeshift into other Pokémon species. Mew is so adorable
Hell yes! New rocks!
Clefairy, known in Japan as Pippi, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. They should gone with the first thought. I mean, I'd be halarious to see ash with a clefairy
Zigzagoon, known in Japan as Jiguzaguma, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
Arceus is a legendary Pokémon from the Pokémon series. It first appeared in the 18th Pokémon movie alongside other Legendary Pokémon. In the Pokémon universe, Arceus is widely known as "The Original One", as it's believed to be the creator of the entire pokemon universe. According to mythology, Arceus is said to emerge from an egg that existed before the universe. Arceus is the god of Pokemon. That should surely be the face of the Pokemon franchise right?
The god of Pokemon. Enough said.
I believe in lord helix but Arceus is the most deserving of this role
Magneton, known in Japan as Rarecoil, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
First ever Pokemon designed so why not?
First pocket monster
Nosepass, known in Japan as the same name, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
Bulbasaur, known in Japan as Fushigidane, is the first Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. He IS technically recorded as the first Pokemon in the Pokedex. Eh, at least he's the mascot of Bulbapedia.
A fictional creature from the Pokémon series, Arbok is a Poison-type Pokémon that evolves from Ekans. It is most recognizable for its hood, which displays a pattern resembling a face to intimidate foes. In the Pokémon universe, Arbok is often associated with the villainous Team Rocket.
Meowth, known in Japan as Nyarth, is a Normal-type Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Designed by Ken Sugimori, it was first introduced in the Pokemon Red and Blue, and is also known as the mascot of Team Rocket in the anime. At level 28, it evolves into Persian.
Meowth has three forms. Its Alolan form is a dark-type Pokemon, and can be evolved into Alolan Persian with high friendship. Its Galarian form is a steel type pokemon that evolves into Perrserker at level 28. Meowth is the first and only pokemon to both have regional forms and a Gigantamax form. Already meowth looks like he could be no. 1 Pokemon and great looks for Pokemon pictures
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 in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. 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
It's a popular Pokemon.
Celebi, known in Japan as the same name, is a Mythical Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
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.
