It’d be Snivy. You can’t go wrong with a good grass-type Pokémon early in the game. Not only does Snivy have both great defence and attack skills, but she is also as cute as Pikachu.

Ash might be gone ... The Pokemon Company isn’t about to throw a mascot like Pikachu away, but it remains to be seen if this new one has anything more going for it than a cute little hat.
