A few fans even commented that some of the new versions of Pikachu look better than the original.

For those who don’t know, Pikachu is an electric-type Pokemon introduced in Gen 1 of the game series. It is the evolved version of Pichu and can evolve into Raichu if exposed to a Thunder Stone. Pikachu’s fan following can partly be determined by the fact that Detective Pikachu, a movie based on the electric-type Pokemon, became one of the highest-grossing video game movies of all time.
