In the west. They didn't think their mascot would be taken seriously there. Thankfully cooler heads prevailed.

Why was it called Pikachu when almost every other pokemon name was localized?

This was in the 90's when the series was still in its infancy. If there were pictures they've probably been lost in the annels of time.

Originally Ashs main Pokmon was Clefairy. They then last minute switched it to Pikachu thinking hed be more appealing to a wider audience.

thats great changing. Clefairy kinda sucks, can you imagine Pikachu never being a popular or barely used Pokmon?

They also tried Poliwhirl. He was one of the creators favorite Pokmon. He was the main Pokmon at the original Pokmon center in Japan and was on most promotional stuff. Even the cover of Time magazine, but he never really caught I so it then went to Pikachu.

Pikachu was choice number 3

This is correct. The interview about this said large chest, and some translated it as big boobs, even though they would use a differnt words to say that in Japanese. And the fact that in America in the 90s buff action figure like Mascotte were all the rage
