Gorochu (Cut Content) Mini Quiz
Test your knowledge with these top questions!
Which Pokémon was Gorochu planned to follow in the original Pikachu line?
The proposed design would have added a third stage to the two-stage family that shipped in Generation I; Pichu appeared later as the baby form.
Which features did designer Atsuko Nishida associate with Gorochu?
Nishida's brief description made the unused design sound far more fearsome than the two familiar electric rodents in the line.
How did Atsuko Nishida describe Gorochu's overall look?
Nishida gave a mythic weather-deity comparison rather than a complete released design, so fan art cannot establish Gorochu's exact appearance.
Why was Gorochu removed from the original Pokémon game plans?
The team trimmed planned evolution stages to keep the first games balanced and within their cartridge limits.
