If the anime would ever reach some sort of conclusion, one thing I would undoubtedly want would be for Ash's Pikachu to evolve into Raichu.

Needless to say, it'll never happen, period. But this thread isn't about that. Would you, as a viewer, be happy if Pikachu actually did evolve?

I really wouldn't. Pikachu is the mascot and Ash's main Pokemon. He won tournaments and such with Pikachu. Most people would used evolved Pokemon, but not Ash...in a way.

Pikachu is strong enough already. There's no point in evolving him. He'd lose all he stands for if he did, even in a conclusion.
 
The fourth option. I wouldn't like it if Pikachu evolved against its own will; the fandom wouldn't be the same if the main mascot evolved.
 
I never really liked Raichu's design... it's the ears... but I digress....

Ok, what do I think about Pikachu evolving? Since it'd probably still be out of its ball all the time and pulling the same crap... just bigger and browner... no I don't see the point. He would annoy me as much as a Pikachu or a Raichu.
 
The anime will never do it, they utterly squashed that idea to pieces. However, Pika has reached the limits of its abilities. I don't think it's going to get any better than it is now. He should've evolved when he had the chance, but he didn't. Power is evidently not what they're after with Pikachu, though. Right now, the most we can do is expect Pikachu to be kicked around some more.

Question is: Would you be Happy if Pikachu Evolved?

NOT Pikachu's evolving or not...
 
What part of "He should've evolved when he had the chance." did you miss. I think that's a valid answer.
 
No because Raichu's fat and it would be hard for Ash to carry it on his shoulders
 
I don't really care if it evovles into Raichu. Of course it would ruin the image of Pikachu on Ash's shoulder. It would be kind of neat if they gave Pikachu a new, smaller evo that's just as cute as Pikachu and as cool as Raichu. Then I would like to see Pikachu evolve.
 
Even if Pikachu evolved and the series ended, it would still be a mascot, as in the most popularity, and merchandise. But honestly I wouldn't mind.
 
Ash would never do it. Not even if it was the last episodes of the series, never. Because Pikachu is his friend, and becoming a Raichu would ruin that friendship, something that upsets even me.

The question is whether or not you'd be happy to see it happen. Obviously, it never will.

I don't see how evolving would ruin its friendship with Ash. It'd simply grow stronger and change its appearance.
 
Then I'll spell it out for you. Yes, it should've evolved. Is that clear enough?
