Pikachu’s original illustrator, Atsuko Nishida, revealed that the Pokémon most associated with Nintendo’s massive multimedia franchise initially had an extra evolution after Raichu. Pikachu, who would later go on to become the mascot for the series and achieve iconic status among fans, now only has one evolution, a predecessor, and several homages in the Pokémon world.
Over 22 years ago, however, the original plan was for Pikachu to have a three-stage evolutionary chain. The third evolution would have been much scarier than the previous two iterations of the character. Surprisingly, though, the third evolution’s lack of cuteness isn’t what caused it to be cut.
