Sad news for Pikachu fans. Electric Rodent's days are numbered.

Smogon Bans Pikachu from Pokemon Anime

 

[NeoMiniTails]

Lmao! That is the greatest article ever...

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

Why do I have the feeling that this isn't what it may seem like...?

 

[Karalala]

That was actually hilarious

 

[Poke Trey]

What in the ever-living hell did I just witness?

 

[lavandula]

Heh, I find it funny how people actually made a proper article about this.

 

[Kirby4ever]

They banned Ash hat Pikachu albecause of it's z-move? Lol that's just stupid.

 

[Pyrax]

Animemaru is a satire site like The Onion, don't take it seriously

 

[Cresselia92]

Not gonna lie, that actually made me laugh.

What’s next? Meowth will be banned due to his unfair linguistic advantage?

But he's pathetically weak.

Ash's Pikachu is OP (him tying with a Latios is BS), but at least, a beginner Snivy can keep him in check.

 

[Derpghost]

Looking at the comments, there's a amazing amount of people that fell for this hook, line, and sinker.

I mean, come on. CLEARLY Snivy is the real threat here.

The article also forgets to mention that any member of the Elekid line is a hard counter and check for Pikachu. Never has been reported defeating one in a Single battle.

Ah I thought I was missing one-then let's say the Elekid line is a check. Thanks for pointing that out.

No problem.

This is hilarious! What's next? Anime going down due to that fact?

 

[Nicolas721]

Thank Arceus. Mimikyu was keeping him in check, but with his new Z-move he was becoming unstoppable. Now I will be able to use my Weezing, Arbok and Meowth more often.

Spoiler: USUM mon

Zeraora will take his place for sure.

Come on, I can smell baloney. If this really happens, then how will the anime handle that ban?

Maybe they will activate the Zekrom event to lower its stats, like in Best Wishes. Or they will make its Z-moves unavailable, like it happened with Thunder.

Smogon isn't even official, it's just a pointless website run by a bunch of whiny kids that bans random Pokemon because to them, Pokemon A is "way too strong" and Pokemon B is "is broken and unfair, and it has no counters". Gamefreak, TPCI, the anime writers, and Nintendo doesn't even care about Smogon.
