Why wouldn't it?

Because she's (it's a female Pikachu in the pictures) is the only one they're showing off, and Pikachu has been known to get special treatment in the past.

Because it's fucking Pikachu.

Not that I'm interested at all in it anyways... It'll probably just be for the contests too. Which I never liked.

I just got my second generation 6 shiny, after months of searching i finally found a shiny Furfrou. :D

I have a Shiny Trevenant, Shiny Octillery, Shiny Seaking and I traded off a Shiny Gothorita.

Man i'm getting lucky with shinies as of late, hopefully in my run of Pokemon soul silver and Alpha sapphire.

Trained up 2 random new Pokemon that have no relation to the tournament, and I was thinking of training up a Pidgeot until I saw it's abilities and realized just how useless it is :lol

...Is that why Ash never came back for him?

Ash knows it's not worth the time :lol

Pidgeot needs more love man! It's friggin Bird Jesus! :lol

But seriously, buff the damn bird! And buff Fearow and Dodrio too! And Swellow and Noctowl!
