God yes I KNOW some megas draw upon previous forms This isn’t just about mega raichu though, it’s the way they will simply never explore raichu as a character design due to pikachu’s excessive influenc. raichu out of everyone gets it the worst

So much about Raichu feels like Pokemon Co regrets ever having Raichu exist. You can take a wilder, undomesticated design approach to future Raichu powered up forms, but that could mean players who want the strongest Pikachu have to evolve it. And they do not want that. Ever.

I think it's more than obvious that they made this choice, but it is upsetting how both Mega Raichu is just trying to incorporate Pikachu design traits instead of ever expanding upon Raichu as a standalone design.
