ok + why do people(SF) put on things like "staryu evolite" on a starmie page????????

Because those pokemon really aren't going to be quite as common, not to say that pikachu is a star competitively. You can do that so that there won't be a bunch of competitive sets for those pokemon. Most of them just use the same set as their evolved form anyway, so it's easier on everyone to just post that way.

Besides, Pikachu gets Light Ball which makes Pikachu pretty good!
