| If you go to a mainspace article that isn't considered a stub (for example, by clicking "random page"), click on the first link in the article that links to a Bulbapedia page, isn't in italics, and isn't in parentheses, and repeat the previous step, you will eventually find yourself at the Bulbapedia article about Canada. It's true.
| | I have played {{v2|Emerald}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, and {{v2|SoulSilver}}, and I used to play competitively on [https://pokemonshowdown.com Pokémon Showdown!]. |
| | |
| Anyway, I’m sumwun. (obviously, because people other than sumwun aren't supposed to edit this) My first experience with Pokémon was from the [[TCG]]. My first card was [[Seadra (Legends Awakened 70)|this Seadra]], which I found lying around in my house. I started playing the video games a few years later. So far, I played {{v2|Emerald}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, and {{v2|SoulSilver}}. I don’t have time to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] for perfect [[Individual values|IVs]], so I battle on a simulator, specifically [https://pokemonshowdown.com Pokémon Showdown!]. I think it would be pointless to put in information about which formats I play, because that changes more often than I edit this page. As for Bulbapedia, it’s the best source of Pokémon information I’ve found so far. I tend to pay attention to detail, so most of my activity here consists of fixing unnoticeably tiny errors and adding random stuff to trivia sections.

| ===Why I think {{p|Pikachu}} should not be the mascot===
| |
| [[Pokémon]] is a huge franchise, not only a [[Pokémon anime|TV show]]. If there was no Pokémon that can represent every branch, then the mascot should at least represent the [[core series]] games because that's where the franchise started. Pikachu doesn’t represent them very well, except for [[Pokémon Yellow Version]]. Pikachu only became important when the [[Pokémon anime]] started airing. The first episode was aired on April Fools day, so Pikachu’s status as mascot was probably just some kind of prank.
| |
|
| |
| The mascot of ''Mario'' is Mario. The mascot of ''The Legend of Zelda'' is Link. The mascot of ''Kirby'' is Kirby. In case you don’t see a pattern, the mascots for all these games are one of their playable characters. However, [[Red (game)|Red]] is just a regular person, so it would make more sense for the mascot to be a Pokémon. The closest that a Pokémon could ever get to being a playable character would probably be the [[starter Pokémon]], since they’re both titular and obtained at the beginning of each game. Thus, I think it would make sense if all three [[Kanto]] starters could be mascots. Of course, they’d have to be roughly balanced in terms of both usefulness and popularity.
| |
|
| |
| If some Pokémon were to permanently be a mascot, it should represent some concept that's central to the franchise. Two concepts that have been significant in every branch of the franchise throughout the history of Pokémon are [[Pokémon battle|battling]] and [[evolution]]. No matter what you’re doing with Pokémon, whether you’re playing a core series game, a spinoff game, the [[Trading Card Game]], watching the [[Pokémon anime|TV show]], or reading one of the [[Pokémon manga|manga series]], both battling and evolution are very important concepts. A good mascot to represent the first would be {{p|Magikarp}}. It’s one of the weakest Pokémon, but becomes better at battling through battling. A good mascot to represent the second would be {{p|Eevee}}, which is literally the evolution Pokémon.
