As for Pichu, I think he should stay in because of HGSS. There are a few special in-game events that revolve around Pichus (one has a notched ear and the other has Pikachu's colors). Right now, there are 6 1st-gen pokemon, one 2nd-gen, no 3rd-gen, and one 4th-gen. If we take out Pichu, he should be replaced by someone from the 3rd Gen. However there aren't many popular or significant 3rd-gen pokemon. We could use Deoxys because its a legendary type thats starred in a movie. None of the other legendaries would work. Blaziken would probably be the best chance because he's a fighting type who could have a diverse moveset. He's the right size and body-build for a character, and has a pretty decent fanbase compared to the majority of Pokemon. However, I think Pichu should stay.
