It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Pokemon Raichu's mega evolutions. Raichu actually got two mega evolutions this time around, which was a bit of a surprise. I didn't really like the Alolan version of Raichu very much, because it looked too soft and different. The mega evolutions look much more like Raichu. However, it also looks a bit too much like Pikachu. Raichu is often overlooked and pushed aside because of Pikachu, since Pikachu is more popular. This is so sad, because Raichu is actually a good evolution! So to see both mega evolutions for it are borrowing design traits from Pikachu is even more disappointing. This poor thing will never be able to get past its pre-evolution. I can understand why it was done, it's just sad to see. I was hoping Raichu would get a unique design when it was finally able to mega evolve, but it looks more like they just wanted to give Pikachu more attention. They're good designs, I just think they could have been better. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As always, here's pictures of both mega evolutions so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!
