Surprised Akari didn't get a Pikachu.
I know right? You're think that would be the right choice.
I was thinking the exact same thing as you guys, but when it comes down to it, I think that's what the author was counting on, right? We assume Akari gets a Pikachu, but her lack of presence is so intense that she's just not interesting enough to get a Pikachu. So instead she gets Rattata, one of the plainest Pokemon (albeit one that I think is really cool!) in existence.
Now now, Raticate is one of the strongest pokemon in Gen I, isn't it? Wait, could it learn Super Fang in Red? I only have Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, White, White 2, X, and Omega Ruby (or was it Alpha Sapphire?), so I wouldn't know.
