I suppose I'm part of the so-called "10%" that still likes Pikachu then. May its electric red cheeks endure for many, many more years and jolt many, many more opponents in battle.
"I squirm, I struggle, ergo I am. Faced with death, I am finally, truly alive."Priority would be placed on Pikachu's properties rather than the theoretical Raichu costume's, naturally. Robin and Lucina being very notable recent examples of such.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guy@82349: Same here, though that video is just another reminder of how much range Marth used to have in his attacks compared to now.
Raichu would be nice to have as an alternate costume, but since Pikachu is the Series Mascot, TPC will pretty much continue whoring him out as the years go by.
Call me Willy Whistle 'cause I can't speak, baby. Something in TV Tropes really drove me crazy.@82355
: Oooh! That was me!
I guess they're not bad, but they just seem really same-y compared to what Charizard and Greninja got.
I really dig the green/purple one though.
The Green/Purple Lucario color is my favorite one, too, along with the Purple/White one.
Come to think of it, I've never really had a problem with Lucario's colors, though I did wish they would have added his Shiny colors as an alt. Though sometimes (particularly in Brawl) I sometimes had trouble distinguishing the Light Blue/Lighter Blue color from Lucario's normal colors.
"I'm glad I don't wear shoes or else I'd have to always get shoes in two different sizes. ...If you know, you know!"Now that I think about it, I can really only name a handful of characters that don't have a single bad alt. costume (opinions of course). Ike, Dedede, Lucas, Marth, Peach, Palutena, and Toon Link.
Forgot about Dark Pit and Zelda is close, but the alt. with the really blonde hair is unappealing to me.

The extent of characters without bad alts for me is, off the top of my head, Mega Man and Kirby.
Though in Kirby's case it still annoys me that his Stone and Hammer don't become monochrome as well when he uses his Chalk colors.

🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaWhile I'd like to see Raichu get more love, I think it should be done with actual quality, not a poor alternate costume.
I like Pikachu too, honestly. He was boss in Smash 64, and they made him fun for me against in Smash 4. I preferred Pichu in Melee, and the only Pokemon I much liked in Brawl was Squirtle, although a slight bit of Ivysaur too. Rest didn't do it for me gameplay-wise(although they were very good choices regardless to be in the game).
Shadow?I feel like Ridley was mentioned somewhere
on this page... Facepalm.
I'm both surprised an not surprised that you guys spent so long on the Raichu thing. I don't mean to sound like a dick, but I hinted to my opinion on what arguing with PMC is like

No Such Thing As Too Deep with Falco
For those who don't know, the music in the first video was Pyramid Base's theme from Sonic Adventure 2.

Almost any fan of Pokemon ever will tell you the same thing. The 90% thing might be an underestimation, though.
