Resolved: Pikachu is a superior pokemon to Pachirisu

REFUTATIONS"Fake and odd? This program was made by the people at SMOGON. It's a battle simulator. You said it CAN be edited (which it clearly cannot, if you actually bothered to know about it. ), so since when is it a guaranteed fake? " Even if in the case this is real, it is wrong, infactual and incorrect. Being made by smogon doesn't make it correct. There are various reasons to which why this is not correct. Firstly, Arceus had no level, whereas Pachirisu and Pikachu were both level 5. Because of such, Arceus can be at any level. We can even assume he is lvl 1, which is the reason of course that both pokemon could do so much damage. Secondly, the turns happen at once, no pokemon goes first. This completly demolishes one of the main stats pokemon have, speed. Since it is all at once, and no pokemon goes first, it is wrong. Anyone could have created it under the name of smogon, considering anyone can join, because of such, the coding can easily be altered in order to make it a specific way. Because of such, how can we, debaters and voters rely on an invalid simulator? I have already explained and proved how this simulator is false, making your argument false. " Since when did the Pokedex matter? Simple. It doesn't do much. " You obviously know nothing about Pokemon. The point of the game, the anime, the story line and the manga is to fill the pokedex. This is the only way to recieve a pokemon for free. Hence the slogan "Gotta catch 'em all". So since when did the Pokedex matter? Since the beggining of the franchise. "Pikachu has been everywhere and constantly overplayed. Yes, Pikachu has been shown a lot, but that does not make him important. In the games, he's a forgettable Pokemon because of it's rarity. I went through LeafGreen twice before finding out this thing is in Viridian. Had Ash chosen Charmander, the franchise wouldn't be any different. Pikachu has little effect on the games. It's the mascot position which matters, not Pikachu. " Rarity makes him more wanted. You would know this if you played more. The point of the game is to become the best, and catch them all. Pikachu is rare, therefore the request for one is quite big. It is not difficult to catch him infact. He is just as difficult to find as pachirisu, so your point is invalid. Pikachu can have a huge effect on the game, if your a good trainer that is. People like me are able to use any pokemon, in order to win battles. I was able to take down the fighting gym leader in Pokemon diamond with nothing but a steelix. Pikachu can have the same reaction. Since he is also able to evolve, he can be used for so much mroe than pachirisu. Raichu is relevant since he is in the pikachu familly. Because Pikachu can evolve, something pachirisu can't and become much stronger than pachirisu, Raichu is completly relevant explaining the superiority of Pikachu over pachirisu. CONCLUSION OF REFUTATIONS I have proven that the software my opponent is using is unreliable, and false. I have also proven all of his arguments invalid. My opponent is only considering these 2 pokemon in the game, whereas I am considering both pokemon in both the game, and the entire franchise. I have proven Pikachu is superior in all of these areas. CONTENTION 4: BETTER CARD Now the area I have not considered yet is that Pikachu has a much better pokemon card. Pikachu one card, to which it is so rare, it is being sold for 100,000 $. It is extremely rare, only 6 copies were put into circulation. [1] This is amazing. Now pachirisu has no card even close to the rarity, quality and remarkability to Pikachu, making pikachu a superior pokemon in the TCG. CONCLUSION In conclusion, through this debate I have proven that Pikachu is a superior Pokemon to pachirisu. My opponent has only considered in the game, which I have proven wrong. I showed all areas, and only explained 1 scenario of a specific pokemon, which is against the rules established in round 1, which should lead to his 7 point loss. Please remember this when voting. I have proven my point, and con did not argue against it at all. In round 1, he stated 1 example of how pachirisu won a battle. In round 2, he refuted my points, but made no argument to which why pachirisu is better than pikachu. Because of such, my side of the resolution is upheld, and con's side is not.
