pichu and pikachu and raichu

Pichu > Raichu > Pikachu

I love Pichu and Raichu. Pikachu is okay but it looks like a simpsons character.
 
I like all three of them, actually. Pichu is pretty adorable, but Pikachu is iconic, and recognizable. I like seeing it & I really don't think the franchise would be the same w/o Pikachu. As for Raichu, I also love it. I wish it wasn't so overshadowed by Pikachu. It really needs more love. Alolan Raichu was cool, but quickly after Alolan Raichu, this Pokemon was thrown off into the shadows again.

Btw, I have a lot of Pikachu plushies. I have a Pichu and Raichu plushie, too, though.
 
I've always loved Raichu. Especially the Kantonian one, but Alolan is cute in a rounder, cuddlier way while the Kantonian is more generally derpy cute and cool.

Pichu, I never quite grew fond of. It's kind of cute, but I can think of many pokémon I'd rate higher in that regard. Mostly is always just seemed so helpless to me xD like the anime saying it can't use electric attacks without shocking itself... Pikachu is nice, it's a general fav of mine but not the cutest nor coolest nor most interesting. I especially love how it's depicted in early Pokémon Adventures manga :3
 
I like Pichu & Raichu the most, i will not post my opinion on pikachu becuase i would get a lot of hate, Raichu truly gets too much hate even thought it's stronger than it's younger siblings
 
Just like Sheep, I have to go with Raichu > Pichu > Pikachu! I actually love Raichu so much, and love using one whenever I get the chance ingame, Pichu is super cute and was a part of the generation that gave us the gift known as baby Pokemon as well. That's not to say I don't like Pikachu though, I've got a lot of love for the series mascot, it just, unfortunately, falls behind the rest of its evolutionary line for me :)
 
I would have to go with Raichu for the most part. Honestly, I get tired of Pikachu because I feel like it gets shoved down our throats because of it being everywhere.
 
It's a little hard to gauge how much I like Pikachu since I'm not sure how much of that is me legitimately liking it VS it being "shoved in our faces." Between Pichu and Raichu though, gotta go with Raichu; it's more significant to me, being both my first Japanese holo as well as my first Ultra Rare card. (I might prefer Pichu in terms of design, but it varies by artwork.)

I think Raichu deserves more attention. Obviously Pikachu gets all the attention because it's the mascot, and Pichu is super cute. But there's not much going for Raichu- yes, there's the Alolan form, but that's about it. I guess that's why Raichu is my favorite of the 3, because it's under-appreciated and it deserves some love.
 
Oh gosh where do I begin? All three of them are precious, but Raichu is probably my favorite. :)

Three main reasons are

1: He's bigger, so there's more of him to love. <3
2: He's stronger and faster than his prevolutions.
3: He's one of the few full stage evolutions who remains just as adorable and cuddly as his prevolutions.

But I'm biased... look at this plush I happen to own. X)

I would say that Raichu's my favourite! I love its colour scheme and I think it's a fabulous pokemon overall!

Pikachu is definitely my second favourite, it's just so iconic. I especially love chubby Pikachu and I think it has one of the cutest cries ever. Pichu is my least favourite of the bunch. It is really adorable, however, I feel as though it's overshadowed by other baby pokemon. I do really love the entire evolutionary family, though.
 
Oh my gosh... that's hilarious. I love the way the Raichu's mouth opens up like those Canadian characters on South Park. XD
 
Hehe glad you loved it, i reccently avenged my female Electrike by sending my female Raichu againts an Doduo, it was worth it
 
I'm so glad you posted this!! So I've always liked the entire line, but mostly Raichu. But I've gotten the impression over the years that they've wanted to push Raichu out of sight and just focus on Pichu and Pikachu because they're deemed as cuter. For example when Dedenne came out during the sixth gen it was like a revised smaller cuter version of Raichu. Then when the Alola variant of Raichu came out it was redesigned as rounded and cute. Personally I love the original design of Raichu. Best feature being the sharp edged lightning bolt tail. BUT each to their own...
