When Pokémon started, Pikachu was not initially set to be the franchise’s mascot. Initially, Clefairy was. Then the anime came out, people fell in love with the electric mouse, and no one ever looked back. Pokémon Yellow then came out, giving you a Pikachu that followed you around everywhere, and the rodent would go on to be one of the most popular mice ever alongside Mickey Mouse.
