The main mascot of Pokemon is Pikachu solely because he was chosen as Ash's starter. The anime itself has been a HUGE influence on the game series, surprisingly enough, such as Pokemon Yellow being based directly off the anime, many Pokemon having their designs changed in Yellow and onward to match how they looked in the anime, Pokemon being known for saying their names coming from the anime, and several other aspects of Pokemon. In fact, if anything, Lucario in Smash Bros. is most likely Sir Aaron's Lucario from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. So the main Pikachu featured in Nintendo, in games like Pokepark, Smash Bros., etc, could very easily be Ash's Pikachu.

...and Nikki, I already said...Ash isn't a video game character... I never said he was Red...at what point did I say he was Red? At what point did I say he was a video game character? I did not. Do not twist my words.
