Its just that noone understand pichu! Pichu's greatness doesnt come from brute strength or from enlargement or special abilities, pichu is cunning, fast, and slickery-small! Pichu can hop around at light-speed to gather objects such as pokeballs and bombombs to use against enemies. Pichus smash attack (especially right-B) are very powerful and at least can smash a normal-hard enemy out of the ring at 60% damage. Pichu also has a special kind of lightning, which instead of (like pkachu) making the enemy rise up and follow the lightning, it sends them flying so you can hurt them while they are on the ground! Pichu is so small he can hardly be hit, too. If you throw a bomb-omb you have a really small chance of hitting pichu. People just dont use him because at first sight and using his a and b moves they say "what a weak pokemen, hes lightest, least powerful, and cant nail a hit!". Pichu is lightest, though, but it allowes him to be fast. He is most definanelty powerful if you see his smashes. And he may not be able to land to many hits, but he sure can use his items correctly! Dont down characters just because at first sight they seem weak, you cant judge a book by its cover! Read the book, and you might understand it. Look at the case and you have no idea whats inside.
