Pachirisu

Every generation of Pokémon seems to get at least one lazily reimagined version of Pikachu. From Dedenne to Emolga to Morpeko to Plusle, they’re not exactly subtle about it. Which is why I so especially love the scorn with which Scarlet’s description of Pachirisu drips:
It’s one of the kinds of Pokémon with electric cheek pouches. It shoots charges from its tail.
Daaaaaamn. Someone wasn’t impressed.
