To be honest, Eevee would have just been tackling everything. Once it evolved, that would have been it.
anyways, for realsies, I'd guess one of the biggest contributing factors to pikachu's popularity was that it was a hard to find pokemon in viridian forest so most players probably passed it up, so then word of mouth started about this weird ass electric rat appearing there if you're lucky so that must've spreaded like fire as pokemon started catching on

Poliwhirl is the one true mascot.
If it makes you feel any better, Eevee destroyed Ash's Pikachu.
You're right, it would have represented the series pretty well. So much potential to evolve and yet it never does.
YEAH!
Eh Pikachu gets destroyed at least once a generation now, it's practically tradition
Yeah, but so did Elekid, Snivy, and a bunch of other Pokemon from completely green trainers.
At the time, I couldn't get over that fact. Now, Pikachu is getting smacked by Magikarp, so I'm not sure if I'd be able to get into the show now.

This is why Ash should evolve Pikachu.
Meh just the writers being derpy most of the time. Plus that Magikarp was like the strongest Magikarp ever to exist.
This is the same Pikachu that beat a Regice and tied with a Latios after all so on a good day he's pretty beastly
There were at least 2 identical episodes to tell you why he shouldn't.
Magikarp family is the real mascot of the series.
* Available in every main Pokemon game, Pikachu is not.
* Has its own Territory (Lake of Rage), Pikachu does not
* Is used more by E4 champion than any other Pokemon.
* Basically the first shiny in the series
Bah only one Rattata counts and it's in the top precentage
Ha shows what you know, Team Rocket is hardly in the anime anymore
The show ended after Johto, what are you talking about?
I still need to pick up the MJ Bad 25 set.

Wrong, it went from Johto to Sinnoh, then ended.
Johto was the worst season/region the show's ever had.
Advance and Diamond and Pearl are so much better then Johto ever was that it's not even funny.
Damn you really are like my... celestial twin or something. We agree on almost every level; Black & White is so far ahead of RB its not even funny. Not just in terms of content, but presentation, storyline, battles, online, etc. Fucking rose-tinted glasses.
SOMEBODY DRAW A PICTURE OF HAXORUS BRO FISTING A SCRAFTY.
What do you not like May or something?
Advance cut most of the filler that plagued Johto and let Ash actually evolve his team.
You're joking right?
The fact they regressed Ash and the battles are way less dynamic alone ensures that it's not the best.
Still not quite as bad as Johto was.
Max.
how did you manage to catch that

Maybe we were secretly seperated at birth.
Or maybe we're the same person.
(Regardless, I'll just pretend this Weavile is a Haxorus)
Max wasn't that bad, I liked his stick of dragging Brock away from girls by the ear.
That said it would have been interesting if they'd actually let him become a trainer by the time battle frontier came around.
If you are trying to imitate Wiseblade, needs more Avatar gifs.
Ah man I don't want to imitate anyone.
Best part of Johto was Ash vs Gary! Seeing Heracross, Snorlax and Charizard kick ass was great
Thought I'm not a fan of how they added in the split pokeball back story at the last bloody second.

Yeah the Johto saga was slightly mishandled. Lots, lots, and lots of filler, and the GS ball went nowhere.
Sinnoh I think is the best saga. It has some filler, but things still moved at a good pace, Ash was at the top of his Fing game (seriously, no contest, Sinnoh Ash could take on all the other Ashes at once and still win handily), and oh lordy lord, the conference and Ash/Paul battles. The anime really hit new heights with those.

I've been forcing myself not to start any new games until B2.
It's working. I wanna play Pokemon pretty badly right now >_<

Heh.
Wouldn't that be painful, though, for Scrafty?
Man I tried to use Pansear on my team but he's just so bloody weak. The worst part is you can't evolve him until he gets to a pretty high level since he only learns good moves in his base form.
