Because pichu CANT gigantamac. Pikachu CAN. Pikachu likely had the factor as a pichu but it wasn't troggered or notable until becoming pikachu.

OP forgot to mention what it cost to make it 👀

@Brian not EVEN! Budget was over 300million! They didn't even make a FOURTH that in 3 days

Yea i stopped after that. $350mil to make/market and only got $42mil 3 days in? Thats less than HALF not even a FOURTH the budget back!

"A respectable 42million" bro the movie cost $350million xD 42million is NOT respectable at all!

Guardians 3 was so gut wrenching. Even if predictable it still was painful to see play out
