My coworker and I (26 and 23) remember Kantonian Raichu being orange. but the sprites from recent games make it look yellow, while the SHINY version now looks closer to what we both remember it being. So I made this Venn Diagram of most Raichu sprites, appearances, and official artworks, sorting them all by color. The G value determines what spot it's in. Most Raichu belong in orange, but there's enough Raichu in yellow to make me think that it's intended to be somewhere in the middle.
What do y'all think? Orange, yellow, or both?
