I mean, I guess using Metronome constantly would be pretty fitting with Ash's usual strategies...

I'd watch the pokémon anime again if they replaced Pikachu with Bidoof

I doubt Clefairy would have taken off the way Pikachu did. Pikachu is just really well-designed, I'm confident that had it not been the face of the franchise, it'd be a fan favorite like Arcanine. Clefairy is good, but not that good.

That said, I don't think it would have made the anime "suck."

Because most of the fanbase are pedophiles who fantasize about Dawn/May instead of the show's actual quality?

That reminds me of the creepiest moment I ever had in the Pokemon TCG community. For those who don't know, the TCG is still huge and has a rather large hardcore following (it even surpassed Magic for total number of sanctioned tournament attendees a few years ago).

Anyway, I was at a smaller scale tournament a little while ago and there were these guys that had to have been in like their mid thirties. Now most people carry around card binders full of valuable cards in the metagame, but I had the unfortunate experience of noticing that one of those 30-some neckbeards had his binder full of pinups of Misty, May, and a bunch of Naruto girls. These pinups were comprised of normal trading card sized sections that formed the full image when arranged in one of those 3x3 trading card binder pages. He was TRADING these things with the other creeps while moaning and saying things like "so beautiful...".

That was the single most uncomfortable moment I've ever had at a tournament, probably because in my 10 years of being a tournament player, I've never encountered someone like that.

Why would that even happen. If you want to look at that it's free online. Just print it off <_<

I think it would be less creepy if he were trading/selling them to 14 year olds. I mean, weird, but a sort of legal equivalent to selling teenagers beer or cigarettes.

At that point, almost all of the 14 year olds had left because their age division always finishes before the older group due to less turnout. It's like he KNEW these were the types of things he shouldn't be doing around the younger attendees.

Eeeeeh.

It wouldn't have sucked, but I guess it wouldn't have been a particularly successful idea to give a shonen male protagonist a pink, girly-looking pokémon as his main one.

I'm pretty sure that controlling lightning is more impressive than most of the things Clefairy can do, too. Metronome would be too random to pick up anyone's interest on the long run.

Agreed, but apparently the original plan was for Ash to use Clefairy as a starter. At least Jigglypuff was pretty badass in the anime regardless.

The only things this changes is that they technically can't be called pedophiles any longer.
