These are all pokemon presumably designed to capitalise off of Pikachu's mascot appeal. Now there's no official categorisation for these so a couple of today's choices are debatable- neither Mimikyu nor Marill are electric types with cheek pouches, and Marill is the only pokemon here that can evolve. But would a poll about pikaclones really be valid without Pikablu in it? The majority of people asked wanted Marill here, and I'm generally in favour of being more inclusive with poll options when it's feasible. If you don't like Marill or Mimikyu's presence here, feel free to ignore them! --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oh this is a really good way to sum it up I feel like there was a ton of promo for Marill as the face of Gen 2 in the anime and such, and then it turned out no one really cared about it as much and they said fuck it and went back to Pikachu. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! ...

I think Mimikyu is just cute, has a good typing and moves, and a good ability. The concept of being a little thing that shittily pretends to be a Pikachu is also interesting and it's nice to see a bit of self-awareness in the design. On a mostly unrelated note, can we please get more electric types which are dual typed and not single stage? About 1/6 of all Electric pokemon are from the Pikachu family or a clone, and there's a grand total of six dual type electric lines with evolutions. --- Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along. ...

Marill doesn't count in my opinion because it can evolve, while the other Pikaclones do not evolve. And Mimikyu doesn't count a Pikaclone either, since it's not an electric type. Xuxon posted...
We haven't done a Gen 8 ranking project yet, and that's due to the uncertainty of when Gen 8 will be considered "complete" in its roster of Pokemon. Gen 7 marked the first time new Pokemon were added mid-generation, and Gen 8 is continuing this trend. The Switch being more capable of handling DLC than the 3DS has made it a lot easier for Game Freak to add new Pokemon mid-generation. The upcoming game Pokemon Legends: Arceus will add several new Pokemon, and there's still one more Gen 8 Mythical that has not been revealed yet. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as azuarc, Guru Champ! ...

Marill and Pichu are both attempted Pika-clones.

I did consider Pichu for this fwiw, but the idea didn't have much support. And yeah I know Mimikyu doesn't fit the general trend, but it was marketed heavily as a mascot for the generation based on its Pikachu-esque appearance. I think some of these (Emolga, Togedemaru) are very good designs that are held back significantly by being single stage. Mimikyu being single stage actually works for it and it has a great gameplay gimmick in addition to the lore. I had no idea about Pachirisu winning a tournament though, that is great. --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. ... Copied to Clipboard!
