Alright let's discuss about Gorochu (Raichu's scrapped evolution)

To this day, only its back sprite is shown.

According to Atsuko Nishida, this creature has fangs and horns, that being said Gorochu was ultimately scrapped due to the limited game space.

Now if really there was nothing wrong with the design, how do you think the concept could be reintegrated in a future Pokémon game? I'm curious to know.

Paradox Pikachu/Raichu?

Frankly, there are a lot of Pokemon beta designs out there that are quite good. Exhibit A- the electric tiger Pokemon.

If I had a nickel for every time an Electric-type Pokemon was scrapped but wormed its way into fans' hearts regardless, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

it would work amazingly as a past paradox form, it seems to look way more primal than raichu and also gorochu is quite literally a relic of the past.

Now that I think about it, yeah Gorochu as a past paradox would be cool.
