when i google'd "why was pikachu chosen as the mascot?" or some-thing i think i found-out that clefairy was initially supposed to be mascot of pokemon i think. :elmo :elmo :elmo

Clefairy is also fat.

Clefairy actually is the mascot in the first ever Pokemon manga

i looked that up just now i think. supposedly a gag-manga l0l. pikachu was there too i think. interesting i think i think.

It's never really been licensed or translated in the West. It was only ever translated to English by a crappy company called Chuang Yi, in Singapore.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

maybe there are fan translations out there

is the manga any good (if u can & want to)?

Yeah, Clefairy was going to be, but its cute, pink appearance seeming to have more female appeal had Game Freak go with Pikachu due to it having a "cute" and "cool" design to appeal to both sexes. A lot of early merchandise still gives it comparable shine though such as the original Pocket Monsters manga already mentioned as well as it being a starter Pokemon in the board game Pokemon Master Trainer along with the Kanto starters, Pikachu and Meowth.

It's an okay time waster. Its style of humour is very typical of a gag manga, though it does have some memorable moments such as Clefairy transforming into "Mewthree".

Imagine Clefairy losing weight like Pikachu did. LOL.

I saw a Pokemon sticker near Asda. I'll go take a photo...

Unless someone's caught it by now. Hah...get it...?

Pikachu is still popular in 2023

I think Pikachu is just as popular as Eevee is now, however.
