A very long time ago, my first OC was a Pikachu named Starky. He was just the Red Hat Pikachu from Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl and it was uncreative as all hell.

Now that I'm older, I figure it's a good time for him to grow up as well, and thanks to Shiberinu for helping me with the redesign.

Starky's moved to the islands and evolved into an Alolan Raichu, though it's debatable if he's actually more mature. That new psychic typing gave him new powers, but it didn't necessarily make him smarter. He's as energetic as ever, but all that Alolan food has given him a bit of a ticklish pudge to go with his big paws.

I'm also putting it here because it may give me incentive to use these OCs.
