Basically shame-mode for evolving Pikachu

Alola Raichu is really cool, but Pikachu still has more benefits and gets more attention.

Most Pokemon get uglier when they're evolved; not sure why you're singling out Raichu on this

Pikachu wasn't intended to be the mascot until later.

I only remember that episode where Ash's bulbasaur refused to evolve prematurely.

I don't think i have ever met anyone IRL that actually prefers Pikachu over Raichu, despite how badly Gamefreak tries to force Pikachu and the whole "some trainers won't use a thunderstone on their Pikachu" nonsense. In adddition to that, it was only in more fairly recent times when Gamefreak tried to force the notion that Raichu is unpopular... it's honestly kinda cringe.

For years I believed the anime myth that Raichu is much slower than Pikachu and it just isn't true. Raichu is superior in every way, except for it being more difficult to learn new moves.

Because he lucked out being created in gen 1.

Aside from that it's a shame because his design is pretty good, and cute even when he's not in a antagonistic role. With the anime only giving it proper respect the past few 3 or so seasons.

Plus being shackled by Pikachu locks him out of any perks like mega evolution or ash-greninja like power ups. So as not to invalidate the rodent further.

In Sword and Shield it's actually easier for Raichu to learn new moves. If you evolve a Pikachu at a low level the Raichu can go to the Move Reminder guy in any Pokemon Center and get him to teach Raichu any move that it missed out on by evolving early, including ones that Pikachu wouldn't have learned until higher levels. So you can have a Raichu that learns moves like Thunderbolt at level 1.
