Raichu has always looked cooler and it was tougher than Pikachu. Pikachu is inferior in nearly everyway and I almost always have a Raichu on my team. You're doing a disservice to your Pikachu by not evolving it ASAP

"B-b-b-but the anime said Raichu can't learn any moves!"

You're right! Look at all these incredible moves Pikachu can learn in Red/Blue if you don't evolve him immediately (ignore Yellow because he can't evolve in that version):
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pikachu_(Pok%C3%A9mon)/Generation_I_learnset#By_leveling_up
Thunder Wave, Quick Attack, Swift, Agility, and Thunder. LOL! It learns all the good moves through TMs anyway, which Raichu usually has access to more of than Pikachu does. Plus in the newer games it doesn't even fucking matter anymore cuz stone evos can now learn all the moves.

"B-b-b-but muh Light Ball tho!"

Wow, you get like a 20% increase in your attack power over Raichu, but you're still slower than Raichu, have almost half the defenses and HP, and you can't use any other held item. Fuck that trade off >_>

Lt. Surge was right. Raichu is better!

Always pissed me off how Raichu gets no love. Sure, there's the Alolan variant, but that leaves poor ol' Kantochu even more overshadowed.

I always liked the Kanto Raichu more, even if it is mechanically inferior to the Alolan one >_>

Kanto Raichu can also surf with its tail, but I think that's only in the Stadium games cuz Gamefreak is lazy >_>

Yeah, I like Raichu a lot more than Pika as well. Kanto Raichu is also cooler imo too.

It's more like 40% at level 100. Base stats don't translate directly into stats and Light Ball also multiplies DVs.
In Gen 2, I'm not sure who's better. Both are pretty weak defensively and both are going to outspeed all the slow defensive pokemon common to Gen 2.

Gen 1 moveset pools (puddles more like m i rite) are notoriously horrendous
