One day, a day like any other, a stranger comes to your idyllic little corner of the world and kidnaps you from your friends and family. He keep you trapped in a magical little ball where you live alone with no warning for when you might be called upon to do his bidding. He only frees you from your solitary confinement so that you can battle your fellow slaves in an arena for the amusement of others, but not even death offers you the possibility of freedom. After you have been bludgeoned within an inch of your life, at the last moment when you are prepared to take your final breath and break away from your living nightmare, a creepy nurse with pink hair brings you back to life so you can fight again… forever.

All these years, we’ve loved hearing Pikachu called into the arena. But when Pikachu hears someone say, “I choose you,” it’s another day of his never-ending nightmare. On our series Animation Investigation we once answered the question of whether or not Ash Ketchum is the worst Pokémon trainer ever, but the better question might be whether he is history’s greatest monster.
