Pichu first appeared in Pokemon Gold and Silver, making its debut in Pokemon GO on Dec. 2016 in an update that introduced other Johto babies like Togepi. As the pre-evolved form of Pikachu, this fan-favorite Pokemon has transcended beyond the ordinary Pokemon status, starring in animated shorts, movies, and even the Super Smash Bros. series with its recent reprisal in Ultimate. It’s an adorable little mouse, and it’s one that defined itself as a series mascot.
