Like many people, when the Pokémon General Election was first announced, I just sort of assumed Pikachu was going to walk away with it.
In the end, Pikachu could do no better than fourth-place in the polls, where he received less support than Mew and Arceus, Pokémon with higher combat potential.
Even though there were 720 Pokémon candidates in the running, how could any of them hope to stand a chance against the franchise mascot?
With his victory in the election still so fresh, Greninja is yet to announce any sweeping Pokémon policy reforms.
