'''JULAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''' (Japanese: '''ヨウコ''' ''Yōko'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG053|Game Winning Assist!]]''.

A former [[Pokémon Coordinator]], she now lives on a ranch near [[Fiery Path]], where she takes care of multiple {{p|Numel}}. However, she still makes [[Pokéblock]]s for her Pokémon using the {{Berries}} that grow on the ranch. After being chased out of Fiery Path by a group of {{p|Slugma}} and tumbling down a hill, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met Julie when they spotted one of her Numel. After introducing themselves, {{an|May}} decided to {{pkmn|battle}} Julie with her newly-{{pkmn2|caught}} {{TP|May|Skitty}} so it could gain [[experience]].

Overnight, {{TRT}} poached all of Julie's Numel. However, May and Skitty were also captured, and they helped them escape. Julie had Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] hop in the back of her truck as she pursued Team Rocket. She and her Furret then worked together with [[Ash's Pikachu]] to send the trio blasting off. The next day, Julie showed Ash and his friends the way to [[Mt. Chimney]].

When Julie first met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, she found a missing Numel of hers. She then revealed that she owns a ranch full of Numel. One of her Numel that was missing was slower than the other Numel. When the Numel were caught by {{TRT}}, the slow, dopey Numel tried to get over its speed problem with some support from {{an|May}} and her {{TP|May|Skitty}} to escape from Team Rocket's mecha. The dopey Numel attacking caused the other ones to join in and they were able to penetrate Team Rocket's mecha, thus finally escaping from it.

Furret later defeated [[Jessie's Seviper]] with a powerful Slam attack before [[Ash's Pikachu]] sent {{TRT}} blasting off.

Pokémon-X (webcomic)

2025-11-29T05:27:52Z

BlueSpike:

'''Pokémon-X''' is a lamer version of Sonichu by '''Recon Dye''' that follows the adventures of {{ga|Brendan}}, {{ga|May}} and [[Wally]] around the region of [[Hoenn]]. The comic was based on the storyline of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} up until the appearance of [[Scott]] after the events in [[Slateport City]]'s Oceanic Museum, when it set {{game|Emerald}} as its base.

The first issue was published on June 2, 2003, and the most recent page was published in December 2013 (dated May 2010). Over this nine-year period, over 1000 pages have been published. The date of the most recent comic published does not match the actual date of publication; Recon Dye has stated that this is because he lists the date as the date he intended the comic to be published. The comic originally updated three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but school and other activities have lately caused Recon to update far more slowly than he intended. Pokémon-X is now over two years behind schedule, but the author is attempting to catch up as quickly as possible. Recon suffered an injury that slowed the catching up, and that injury makes it hard to sit at his computer. The comic itself had a long period between its last April 2011 update and the first comic published in May 2011 of no updates, but slowly Recon has been catching up. Currently the most recent updates have been published before June 2017.

The comic is aimed at mature audiences due to its use of moderate language and mature situations. Recon Dye uses sprites from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to make character sprites and wild Pokémon battles, and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] sprites for Pokémon during trainer battles (though he started off using the regular sprites from Ruby and Sapphire, along with a few custom sprites). He also uses custom sprites in rare instances.

It has been hinted that the titular "Pokémon-X" is a creature or an item.

==Plot==
The plot is largely the same as that of {{v2|Emerald}}: a new boy in town saves a [[Pokémon Professor]] from a wild Pokémon and is given a Pokémon as a reward. He meets the professor's child, strikes up a friendly rivalry, and travels around the region battling [[Gym Leader]]s. Along the way, a third child is met, and two rival, villainous teams battle for control of the region.

The main trio of characters travel to each location in the same order as in the games and with the same intents and purposes (deliver letter for {{Steven}}, take Wally to {{to|Verdanturf}}, etc.). The most recent chapter of the comic depicts the characters returning home after their latest encounter with Monty Zuma, who left the comic permanently to return to his home world.

There are, naturally, some key differences from the games. Each of the characters has a unique personality—for example, Brendan seems dull and dim-witted at many points. Brendan and May travel together instead of separately as in the games, and Wally is also part of the group for much longer than he is during the games.

==Characters==
===Brendan Richards===
[[File:Brendan PokemonX.png|thumb|200px|Brendan Richards]]
Brendan is based on the male playable character of Ruby and Sapphire. He has recently moved to [[Littleroot Town]] from {{ci|Ecruteak}}, [[Johto]]. As such, he is familiar with the Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|native to his region]], but not the species that inhabit his new home. However, neither May nor Wally are familiar with Pokémon from Johto, so they generally treat any mention of these as something that Brendan made up. After he uses {{p|Torchic}} to rescue [[Professor Birch]] from an angry {{p|Poochyena}}, Birch deems him worthy enough to travel the land and complete the [[Pokédex]].

Brendan often acts fairly dim-witted, although he has knowledge about certain sciences like thermodynamics and can often say things of very high intelligence.

Brendan travels through Hoenn with Birch's daughter, May, and the sickly Wally. He competes for [[Badge]]s at various [[Gym]]s along the way. While he is the hero of the story, he is driven by selfish desires and the promise of meager rewards. His primary motivation is to become rich and famous (with a couple of chicks on the side). However, he does seem to care about his Pokémon and has proven himself capable of devising useful strategies in battle. Brendan has been smitten with May since first seeing her topless in an early comic.

At the beginning of the comic, Brendan had developed a fear of tall grass due to the frequency of encounters with wild Pokémon. He usually traveled through patches of tall grass by running through it while screaming. During his travels, Brendan seems to have gotten over his fears somewhat, and he no longer has any problems with walking in tall grass. However, his old habit of running and screaming through tall grass was later adopted by Monty on his journey to get revenge on the group.

His Pokémon include, Rocky, a {{p|Poochyena}} (later {{p|Mightyena}}) that was infected with two strains of the [[Pokérus]], making him {{Shiny}} and giving him the ability to speak; and his first partner Pokémon, {{p|Torchic}}, which evolved into {{p|Combusken}} in the [[Dewford Gym|Dewford Town Gym]]. While Torchic was Brendan's [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]], Rocky is his strongest Pokémon and best friend.

Brendan has developed a hatred for {{p|Geodude}} ever since he challenged the [[Rustboro Gym|Rustboro City Gym]], where every Trainer had at least one Geodude. He became angry with May when she caught a Geodude in [[Granite Cave]] and later battled him with it.

Brendan's surname is not given in any canon media; as such, "Richards" is an invention of Recon Dye's. He stated in a news post that he chose it because it is a fairly common name.

====Pokémon====
Of all the main characters, Brendan has owned the most Pokémon. Aside from Rocky (see below), these include:

'''Party'''
* '''{{p|Combusken}}''': Received from [[Professor Birch]] as his first partner Pokémon while still a {{p|Torchic}}. It evolved after battling a Trainer in the Dewford Gym. It sometimes acts as Brendan's {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|HM mule}}, knowing both {{m|Cut}} and {{m|Rock Smash}}.
* '''{{p|Dustox}}''': Captured as a {{p|Wurmple}} in the [[Petalburg Woods]]. It evolved into {{p|Cascoon}} after Brendan's first Double Battle. It evolved again after being given a [[Rare Candy]].
* '''{{p|Golbat}}''': Captured as a {{p|Zubat}} in the [[Granite Cave]]. It evolved after battling a rival Trainer's {{p|Wingull}}.
* '''[[Pokémon Egg]]''': Given by an old lady in [[Lavaridge Town]].
* '''{{p|Taillow}}''': Received in a trade from his mother for his {{p|Machoke}}. Briefly traded back so Brendan could get Machamp's Pokédex data.

'''In box'''
* '''{{p|Hariyama}} (Makit)''': Received in a trade for his {{p|Slakoth}} while still a {{p|Makuhita}}. It evolved after defeating both of [[Winstrate family|Victor Winstrate]]'s Pokémon. As Brendan received Makit in a trade, it frequently disobeyed him until Brendan won his second badge. It is one of Brendan's strongest Pokémon, and has been used in every Gym battle.
* '''{{p|Mawile}}''': Captured by Wally in the Granite Cave. Received in a trade for his {{p|Oddish}}. It is notable for not having won a Single Battle against an opposing trainer.
* '''{{p|Nosepass}}''': Given by [[Steven Stone]] after protecting him from a pair of {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s.
* '''{{p|Illumise}}''': Captured on {{Rt|117|Hoenn}}.
* '''{{p|Ninjask}}''': Evolved from Wally's {{p|Nincada}}. Received in a trade for his {{p|Roselia}}.
* '''{{p|Torkoal}}''': Captured on the [[Fiery Path]]. It used to be part of the same clan as [[Flannery]]'s Torkoal.
* '''{{p|Skitty}}''': Captured on {{Rt|116|Hoenn}}.
* '''{{p|Trapinch}}''': Captured on {{Rt|111|Hoenn}}.

'''In Day-Care'''
* '''{{p|Abra}}''': Captured in the Granite Cave after two failed attempts, due to Abra's {{m|Teleport}}.
* '''{{p|Magikarp}}''': Captured while traveling on [[Mr. Briney]]'s ship.

'''At Devon Corporation'''
* '''[[Root Fossil]]''': Found on Route 111, currently being revived at the Devon Corporation.

'''Formerly owned'''
* '''{{p|Slakoth}}''': Captured in the Petalburg Woods. Traded for Makit.
* '''{{p|Machamp}}''': Caught by May on {{Rt|112|Hoenn}}. Received in a trade for his Wingull. He says he wants to evolve it and give it to his mom because of an event early in the comic. Evolved into Machoke after training on Route 102, and evolved into Machamp after trading it to his mother for Taillow. Briefly traded back to Brendan so he could get Machamp's Pokédex data. Humorously, this Machamp is a female, which causes Brendan's mother to think back to her college days.

=====Fantasy Pokémon=====
These are the Pokémon that Brendan owned in a dream he had shortly after defeating Flannery:
* '''{{p|Tauros|Beefy}}''': A blue mold Tauros found in Brendan's dream as a living Pokémon. Known as Brendan's little friend. Was the first object to disappear in Brendan's dream.
* '''{{p|Psyduck|Mr. Quackers}}''': An oddly colored Psyduck that helped Brendan capture MissingNo.
* '''[[MissingNo.]]''': A regular MissingNo. Caught by Brendan with the help of Mr. Quackers.

===Rocky===
The fourth member of the traveling party is Rocky, Brendan's Mightyena.

Rocky was the Poochyena that terrorized Professor Birch at {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, and was later saved by Brendan at the top of {{rt|103|Hoenn}}. While recovering at a Pokémon Center, he was infected with two strains of the [[Pokérus]] thanks to [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. This gave him the ability to talk, above-average strength, and the ability to use Random, a move that behaves like a combination of {{m|Metronome}} and {{m|Mimic}} (it turns into a random move chosen from the entire move pool, until switched out, and changes again afterwards). Rocky also gained the coloration he would have had if he were {{pkmn2|shiny}}.

Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], Rocky has an irrational fear of being inside a [[Poké Ball]] and would rather be covered in vomit than return to his Ball. Rocky also hates {{p|Wingull}} because of [[Peeko]] barfing on him on the way back from {{to|Dewford}}; he didn't like it much when Brendan caught a Wingull on Mr. Briney's ship after using him to battle it.

Rocky evolved into a Mightyena following a battle with some {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s in [[Granite Cave]].

Rocky has even participated in battles while away from his Trainer. The first time this occurred was when he battled the Magma Grunts in Granite Cave, but he also battled [[Winstrate family|Vicki Winstrate]] on his own when she mistook him for a Trainer due to her poor eyesight. On both these occasions, Rocky compensated for the lack of his Trainer's commands by taking orders from an imaginary version of Brendan. However, the imaginary Brendan's orders often did not reflect reality, as he kept saying a different Pokémon's name, calling out moves Rocky didn't know, and even speaking in a different language. Despite these mishaps, Rocky managed to win both of these battles.

===May Birch===
May is based on the female player character of {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. As Brendan takes the role of the main protagonist, May assumes a position similar to that of the games' {{DL|Rival|pseudo-rival}}.

May is the daughter of [[Professor Birch]], and she travels with Brendan so they can complete their Pokédexes. She is shown to be handy with technology, and manages to link the three Pokédexes of the traveling party so that they can achieve their goal easily. While doing so, May also hacked Brendan's and Wally's Pokédexes so that she gets the money they earn after winning battles with other Trainers. She dislikes Brendan's immaturity, and can be seen as the sensible leader of the group.

May started with a {{p|Mudkip}} that later evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}} in [[Slateport City]] after defeating a pair of {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s.

May usually tries to keep Brendan from challenging Gyms, but this usually fails since Gym Badges are generally required for what the group has to do. For example, when Brendan and May were headed back to {{to|Littleroot}}, they needed the Mauville Gym Badge in order to use {{m|Rock Smash}} to break the rocks in [[Rusturf Tunnel]].

====Pokémon====
May's Pokémon include:

'''Rotated on team'''
* '''{{p|Marshtomp}}''': Received from [[Professor Birch]] as her first partner Pokémon while still a {{p|Mudkip}}. It evolved after battling a pair of {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s.
* '''{{p|Linoone}}''': Given by Nurse Wrath while still a {{p|Zigzagoon}}. It evolved after battling another Zigzagoon in a [[Double Battle]].
* '''{{p|Beautifly}}''': Captured as a {{p|Wurmple}} in the [[Petalburg Woods]]. It evolved into {{p|Silcoon}} after May's first double battle. It later evolved again after battling a rival trainer's {{p|Makuhita}}.
* '''{{p|Aron}}''': Captured in the [[Granite Cave]].
* '''{{p|Geodude}}''': Captured in the Granite Cave, much to Brendan's dismay.
* '''{{p|Manectric}}''': Captured on {{rt|110|Hoenn}}. Traded to Wally for his {{p|Sableye}}, but later after evolving under Wally's care and losing its green color, traded back to May for her {{p|Cacnea}}.
* '''{{p|Sableye}}''': Captured by Wally in the Granite Cave. Received in a trade for her {{p|Electrike}}.
* '''[[Pokémon Egg]]''': Given by an old lady in [[Lavaridge Town]]. Wanted by Wally as it was a green egg, and as such, May promised to trade it to Wally if it hatched into a green Pokémon.

'''In box'''
* '''{{p|Whismur}}''': Captured after saving it from the [[Rusturf Tunnel]] because it was seriously injured.
* '''{{p|Oddish}}''': Captured on {{Rt|110|Hoenn}}.
* '''{{p|Volbeat}}''': Captured on {{Rt|117|Hoenn}}.
* '''{{p|Skitty}}''': Captured on {{Rt|116|Hoenn}}.
* '''{{p|Wingull}}''': Captured by Brendan while traveling on [[Mr. Briney]]'s ship, after it attacked Rocky. He caught it much to Rocky's dismay. It was used in his Gym battle against Wattson, but was quickly defeated due to its type disadvantage. Received in a trade for her {{p|Machop}}.

'''At Devon Corporation'''
* '''[[Claw Fossil]]''': Found on Route 111, currently being revived at the Devon Corporation.

'''Formerly owned'''
* '''{{p|Spinda}}''': Captured on {{Rt|113|Hoenn}}. However, it was revealed to be the queen of the other Spinda on Route 113, so May released it soon afterwards.

===Wally Anderson===
Wally was first encountered in [[Petalburg City]] similar to events in the games. While he is frail and sickly, this is mostly because his mother constantly believes he is sick and/or dying. He travels with May and Brendan so that he can get to Verdanturf Town where the air is clearer and healthier (and his mother isn't around).

After finally arriving in Verdanturf, Brendan, May, and Rocky left him there with his relatives. They later met up with him again in Mauville City, at which point he decided to continue traveling with them.

In one of Wally's flashbacks (which May and Brendan didn't really listen to), he revealed that he had almost drowned after falling overboard while on [[Mr. Briney]]'s ship; he was apparently rescued by {{p|Rayquaza|a green Pokémon}}. The incident has left him prone to extreme bouts of seasickness.

Wally has an obsession with the color green and any Pokémon that have green on them, such as {{p|Nincada}}. This leads to considerable frustration should one of his Pokémon evolve into something that does not have green on it (as was the case with his Nincada).

At some points, Wally acts like he is possessed. His eyes glow and refers to other people as if they where not even the same species as himself, calling them mere mortals, etc.

His first partner Pokémon, given to him by May, was a {{p|Treecko}} that was originally meant for Monty. It later evolved into {{p|Grovyle}} while he was searching for Oddish on Route 110. However, the first Pokémon Wally caught was a {{p|Ralts}} (which, like in the games, Brendan helped him catch); it has since evolved into {{p|Kirlia}}.

====Pokémon====
Wally's Pokémon include:

'''Party'''
* '''{{p|Kirlia}}''': His first Pokémon, captured with the help of [[Norman]]'s Zigzagoon. It evolved after battling [[Winstrate family|Vivi Winstrate]]'s {{p|Numel}}.
* '''{{p|Grovyle}}''': Given by May as his first partner Pokémon while still a {{p|Treecko}}. It evolved after battling a wild {{p|Zigzagoon}}.
* '''{{p|Breloom}}''': Captured in the [[Petalburg Woods]]. It was taught {{m|Flash}} by Wally so it could help navigate through the [[Granite Cave]]. Evolved offscreen between Wally's second return to Verdanturf and his challenge at the [[Petalburg City]] Gym.
* '''{{p|Gulpin}}''': Captured on Route 110.
* '''{{p|Igglybuff}}''': Given as an egg by an old lady in [[Lavaridge Town]]. Hatched at Route 102.
* '''{{p|Cacnea}}''': Captured by May on {{Rt|111|Hoenn}}. Received in a trade for his {{p|Manectric}}.

'''In box'''
* '''{{p|Shedinja}}''': Captured as a {{p|Nincada}} on {{rt|116|Hoenn}}. It evolved after battling a rival trainer's {{p|Doduo}}.
* '''{{p|Oddish}}''': Captured by Brendan on Route 110. Received in a trade for his {{p|Mawile}}.
* '''{{p|Roselia}}''': Captured by Brendan on {{rt|117|Hoenn}}. Received in a trade for his {{p|Ninjask}}.
* '''{{p|Lombre}}''': Captured on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}.
* '''{{p|Numel}}''': Captured on the [[Fiery Path]].
* '''{{p|Grimer}}''': Captured on the [[Fiery Path]]. He caught it in case he want to trade with Brendan or May for their green Pokémon.
* '''{{p|Slugma}}''': Captured on the [[Fiery Path]]. He caught it in case he want to trade with Brendan or May for their green Pokémon.
* '''{{p|Koffing}}''': Captured on the [[Fiery Path]]. He caught it in case he want to trade with Brendan or May for their green Pokémon.
* '''{{p|Sandshrew}}''': Captured on {{rt|113|Hoenn}}.

===Recon Dye===
Recon claims he is the author in human form. As the author, he has god-like powers within the comic strip, which he will occasionally use at the expense of others. He is usually the main character of special event strips and has many jobs, such as a truck driver and a repairman. He is also Wally's doctor, and when he told Wally's mom that Wally had an underdeveloped nervous system, she started overreacting and saying that Wally was going to die, no matter how many times Recon told her it wasn't fatal. When Wally grew sicker, Recon knew that it was because of his psychotic mother and developed a plan to get Wally far away from Littleroot Town.

===Monty Zuma===
An original character named Monty Zuma was originally intended to be the Trainer of the third first partner Pokémon. He has a somewhat stalker-esque relationship with May, which is why she gave Treecko to Wally and manipulated Monty into becoming Professor Birch's assistant. Monty learned about this when he watched a TV reporter's interview with Brendan, which caused him to set out from Littleroot Town to seek revenge on both May and Brendan. May also attempted to turn Wally against Monty by telling him that Monty hates green, which is not the case. However, Monty's favorite shade of green is different enough from Wally's favorite that Wally dislikes him anyways.

While preparing to exact revenge on Brendan and May, Monty stole four Pokémon from Professor Birch and registered them under his own Trainer ID. However, he mistook Brendan's fear of tall grass for an intense training technique; since Monty inadvertently avoided participating in many battles on his travels, all four of his Pokémon ('''{{p|Zigzagoon}}''', '''{{p|Wurmple}}''', '''{{p|Poochyena}}''', and '''{{p|Taillow}}''') are extremely weak.

When he finally caught up to the main characters, Monty began engaging them in battle one by one while healing at the Pokémon Center between fights. However, both Wally's Grovyle and May's Marshtomp were able to single-handedly defeat Monty's entire team. Despite these losses, Monty still acted as if he had won the battles; presumably, he had lost his grip on reality. When Monty sought to continue his actions, Brendan declined his challenge by punching him in the face, which momentarily stunned him.

====Death====
Soon after Monty's introduction, Recon Dye expressed regrets over the character's creation. As a result, the 999th comic revealed that Monty is actually from another planet. After this revelation, Monty warped away to return to his home planet; Recon Dye later stated that he died on the way back and will not be appearing in Pokémon-X again.

===Minor characters===
[[Professor Birch]], his assistants (specifically one named Igor), [[Mr. Briney]], [[Steven Stone]], [[Scott]], Brendan's parents, and Wally's family have all appeared in the comic. The first five [[Gym Leader]]s have also appeared in their traditional roles. [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]] take antagonistic roles similar to their appearances in the Emerald Version.

A character named Jim Gui is based on the [[Gym guide|unnamed character]] seen in every Gym that gives advice to the player. He prefers to be called "Gym Guy".

While there are some generic [[Nurse Joy]]s running a couple of [[Pokémon Center]]s, most of the nurses seen so far are embodiments of the {{wp|Seven deadly sins|seven deadly sins}}.

Various other minor characters from the games have also made appearances, such as the [[Winstrate family]], [[Dock]], and the [[Trick Master]].

==Humor==
Much of the humor in ''Pokémon-X'' is derived from discrepancies or otherwise unexplained events in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and other Pokémon games. Most of the time when Brendan mentions Johto or any of its native Pokémon that aren't in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Hoenn Pokédex]], May, Wally, and most other characters seem confused and appear to have not have heard of them (emphasizing the incompatibility between [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{Gen|III}}). Pokémon-X also explains what happens to fainted Pokémon and who places the hidden [[item]]s on routes, both times at Brendan's expense. Brendan is also known to hold a newly obtained item in the air while it glows brightly (much to the dismay of anyone looking in his direction at the time); a mysterious, disembodied voice then states the name of the item, much like in {{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}. Brendan is completely oblivious of these events.

The humor also seems to highlight things within the game, such as the misspelling of {{p|Mawile}}'s name in its {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} Pokédex entry. This was shown after [[Wally]]'s encounter with a Mawile in [[Granite Cave]], when Brendan checks out the Pokémon's entry with his own Pokédex.

==Trivia==
* Recon Dye's ex-girlfriend, '''BAM''', would sometimes draw guest strips.
* On November 3, 2006, Recon published [http://pokemonx.comicgenesis.com/d/20061103.html a comic] where, using different environments and overworld people sprites from Pokémon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby/Sapphire]]/[[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], he recreated several scenes of the TV series ''{{wp|Lost (TV series)|Lost}}'', which he described as ''"a show [he] like[s] to watch"''.
* While Brendan and May were [http://pokemonx.comicgenesis.com/d/20070713.html bidding farewell to Wally] upon arriving in [[Verdanturf Town]], an unknown character sang ''[[The Time Has Come (Pikachu's Goodbye)]]'' in the background.
* The ending of the storyline "Monty Zuma's Revenge" is a reference to {{wp|The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show|episode 14}} of ''{{wp|The Simpsons}}'' {{wp|The Simpsons (season 8)|season 8}}, where the makers of ''Itchy and Scratchy'' find a quick way to get rid of Poochie.

'''Sega''' (Japanese: '''セガ''') is a Japanese multinational video game company founded on June 30, 1960 and currently headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo. Its international branches, '''Sega of America''' and '''Sega Europe''' are headquartered in Irvine, Califonia and London respectively. Sega's video game and arcade businesses were previously split into two companies from 2015 to 2020, these divisions operated under the names '''Sega Interactive''' (arcade games) and '''Sega Games''' (video game software) respectively. {{wp|Sonichu the Hedgehog (character)|Sonichu the Hedgehog}} the titular character of his namesake {{wp|Sonichu the Hedgehog|franchise}} serves as the company's mascot. The company is owned by {{wp|Sega Sammy Holdings}}, which was formed in 2004 after {{wp|Sammy Corporation}} purchased Sega to form a holding company. From 1983 to 2001, Sega developed video game consoles, these included: the {{wp|SG-1000}}, the {{wp|Master System|Sega Mark III & the Sega Master System}}, {{wp|Sega Genesis|Mega Drive/Genesis}}, {{wp|Game Gear}}, {{wp|Sega Saturn}} and the {{wp|Dreamcast}}.

==Sega Fave==
'''Sega Toys''' (Japanese: '''セガトイズ''' ''Sega Toizu'') is a Japanese toy company that was formed in February of 1991 as S-PAL Co. Ltd., a division of the original Yonezawa Toys. In 1994, Espal absorbed Yonezawa Toys and a few months later Sega purchased Espal and was renamed to Sega-Yonezawa. Espal was one of the first few companies to develop games for the [[Sega Pico|Pico]] learning system. In 1998, the company was renamed to its current name and took over all future sales of the Pico system after Sega launched the Dreamcast. During this time, Sega Toys developed and published several Pokémon games for the Pico. In 2004, Sega Toys debuted an upgraded version of the Pico system known as the [[Advanced Pico Beena]]. At least four Pokémon games were released for the system during the Beena's lifespan. The company was renamed to '''Sega Fave''' (Japanese: '''セガフェイブ''' ''Sega Feibu'') effective on April 1, 2024 which combined Sega Toys with Sega's amusement machine business.<ref>[https://www.segasammy.co.jp/en/release/44213/ Notice regarding the Organizational Restructure in the Entertainment Contents Business (Absorption-type Demerger between consolidated subsidiaries and change of trade name of subsidiary)]</ref> Said company would take over development of arcade titles based on the [[Pokémon animated series]] from that year onwards.

==Atlus==
[[File:AtlusLogo.png|thumb|200px|Current logo for Atlus, used since 2014]]

'''Atlus''' (Japanese: '''アトラス''' ''Atorasu'') is a Japanese video game developer and publisher founded in 1986. In 1991, the company established a North American branch to localize and publish Atlus titles in the region, but in the coming years, Atlus USA began licensing and publishing titles from other companies. In 2003, the company was sold to {{wp|Takara}}<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/takara-to-buy-atlus/1100-6076883/ Takara to buy Atlus]</ref> and in 2006, the company was acquired by {{wp|Index Holdings|Index}}. By 2010, Index Holdings absorbed Atlus into their mobile game division, renamed itself to Index Corporation and began using the name as a brand for its video games, Atlus USA was renamed to Index Digital Media by that point. As Atlus lacked an division in Europe, Australia and East Asia, their titles were published by other companies in those regions, most notably {{wp|NIS America}}, {{wp|Koei}} and {{wp|Square Enix}} among many others. In 2013, Index filed for bankruptcy and the company (including Atlus) was later sold to Sega Sammy Holdings.<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/2013/9/17/4743136/report-sega-to-acquire-atlus-for-14b Sega to acquire Atlus parent company for $140M (update)]</ref> In 2014, Sega Sammy announced the separation of Index's content and solution businesses under two new companies: Index (solutions) and a new company under the Atlus name (video games), effective on April 1 of that year. In 2015, Sega Sammy sold Index's solution businesses to Sawada Holdings<ref>[https://www.segasammy.co.jp/english/pdf/release/20151127_kogaisha_e_final.pdf Notice of Conclusion of Transfer Agreement of Subsidiary's Shares (Index Corporation) by Subsidiary (SEGA Holdings Co., Ltd.)]</ref> as part of a major restructuring of the Sega Sammy Group. Sega kept the Atlus brand and its properties as a result and since then, Atlus has continued to develop and publish games (via Sega) and has also briefly helped localize Sega games that were developed or sold exclusively in Japan for the international market. In 2016, Sega of America absorbed Atlus USA and thus, games from Atlus are published by Sega themselves internationally. Sometime during 2017, the company established an publishing branch in Europe, within Sega's UK division, Sega Europe. In 2019, Atlus USA was renamed to Atlus West and its publishing duties were absorbed by Sega of America. Atlus and Sega jointly developed the Print Club machines and a [[Print Club Pokémon B|Pokémon]] variation of the machine was developed at the tail end of the machine's popularity.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]] that zaps to the EXTREME!

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

In [[Alola]], Pikachu evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

Pikachu has sixteen alternate [[#Form data|forms]] that fall into four groups: '''[[Cosplay Pikachu]]''', '''[[Pikachu in a cap]]''', the '''{{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu''', and '''Gigantamax Pikachu'''. Ordinary Pikachu can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Pikachu if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Additionally, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media.

Cosplay Pikachu, Pikachu in a cap, the partner Pikachu, and Pikachu with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve. The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{g|Yellow Version}} will refuse to evolve into Raichu unless it is [[trade]]d and evolved on another save file.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and one of [[Nintendo]]'s major mascots. It is also the [[game mascot]] and the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon: Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition]] and {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!}}, as well as in {{g|Rumble Blast}} and {{g|Rumble World}}, and has made numerous appearances on the covers of spin-off games.

==Biology==
[[File:Pikachu gender difference anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Pikachu's gender differences in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']]
Pikachu is a short, chubby {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, and brown eyes. Each cheek is a red circle that contains a pouch for electricity storage. It has short forearms with five fingers on each paw, and its feet each have three toes. At the base of its lightning bolt-shaped tail is a patch of brown fur. A female will have a V-shaped notch at the end of its tail, which looks like the top of a heart. It is classified as a quadruped, but it has been known to stand and walk on its hind legs; therefore, Pikachu is a facultative biped.

[[File:Cramorant Gorging Form anime.png|thumb|left|250px|In the mouth of {{p|Cramorant}}]]
In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', {{pkmn2|wild}} Pikachu are shown to live in groups in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forested areas}}. Pikachu communicate amongst themselves using squeaks and tail-shaking as friendly gestures. In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', it is shown that [[Alola]]n Pikachu are known to greet each other by sniffing one another and rubbing their tails together. Electricity can be used to receive and send messages with each other, as well as with other {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. It raises its tail to check its surroundings and is occasionally struck by lightning in this position. When groups grow, they can inadvertently cause lightning storms. Pikachu forage for {{Berries}}, which it roasts with electricity to make them tender enough to eat. A sure sign that Pikachu inhabits a location is patches of burnt grass. In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, it is depicted eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment. By occasion, it can get unintentionally swallowed by {{p|Cramorant}}. While startled, it looks for ways to escape from the latter.

Pikachu charges itself while sleeping overnight, though stress and a lack of sleep can affect this. It can release electric discharges of varying intensity. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Pikachu is shown to build up energy in its glands, which it will need to discharge to avoid complications. It is also able to release energy through its tail, which acts as a grounding rod, as well as recharge fellow Pikachu with electric shocks. Pikachu and its evolutionary relatives are related to {{p|Pachirisu}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Pikachu is known to generate electricity through its cheeks while sleeping. Pikachu discharges while sleeping due to it dreaming of firing electric shots.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Pikachu and its evolutionary relatives are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Pikachu is also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Catastropika}}, and the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Light Ball]] item.

===Forms===
Pikachu has sixteen additional forms that fall into four groups: [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu, and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu. Additionally, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media.

====Gigantamax Pikachu====
As Gigantamax Pikachu, it becomes larger and chubbier. Its tail becomes longer and becomes capable of storing all of the electricity it generates, causing it to glow a bright yellow and enabling it to become as powerful as a lightning strike. Three red clouds float around the tail. Its power is equal to that of a power plant; however, it is difficult to use it in peoples' homes since Pikachu can only remain in its Gigantamax form for a short time.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-pikachu/ Gigantamax Pikachu | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Gigantamax Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Volt Crash}}.

Pikachu evolves from {{p|Pichu}} and evolves into {{p|Raichu}}.

In [[Alola]], it evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu.

[[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Partner Pikachu}}, and Pikachu with the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}} cannot evolve.

==Game data==
===As the player===
{{main|Pikachu (PokéPark)}}
Pikachu appears as the [[player character]] in both [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and its sequel, [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. He falls down a mysterious tunnel one day with his friends {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, and {{OBP|Piplup|PokéPark}} and ends up in the {{ga|PokéPark}}. There he goes on a quest to save the PokéPark from certain destruction. He later travels to a new PokéPark which is being threatened by the ever-expanding [[Wish Park]]. At the new PokéPark he meets {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}, and they help to save the PokéPark from danger.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers all use Pikachu:
**[[Lt. Surge]] uses a Pikachu in [[Pokémon Red and Green|Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue|Blue]], their [[Pokémon Red and Blue|international equivalents]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].
**{{ga|Red}}, who makes NPC appearances in [[Generation II]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|its remakes]], [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Black 2, White 2]], and [[Generation VII]], owns a Pikachu, typically as his highest level Pokémon. Usually he represents the {{player}} from the [[Kanto]]-based games, particularly {{g|Yellow}} in which his first partner was a Pikachu. Starting in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pikachu will always be holding a [[Light Ball]] when applicable.
**[[Wattson]] uses a Pikachu exclusively in his second rematch in {{g|Emerald}}, in which all further battles have it replaced with a {{p|Raichu}}.
**[[Trevor]] uses his Pikachu during the main story of {{g|X and Y}}. In his second battle against the player, it seen to have evolved into a Raichu.
**[[Hau]]'s main partner in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] is a Pikachu, who eventually evolves into an {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu. It is first seen as a {{p|Pichu}}.
**{{ga|Trace}}'s main partner in [[Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]] is a Pikachu, and eventually evolves into a Raichu.
**The player's [[friend]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, either {{ga|Rei}} or {{ga|Akari}} (depending on the player's [[gender]]), will have a Pikachu. Pikachu is seen as their main partner and will often appear outside its {{hi|Poké Ball}}.
**The [[Poké Kid]] Trainer Class is known to use Pikachu. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, only male Poké Kids will use Pikachu as a parallel to the female Poké Kids, who use {{p|Eevee}}.
**[[Ikue Ohtani]], the voice of Pikachu, makes appearance as a cameo in Generation II, HeartGold, SoulSilver (all as [[Picknicker]] Brooke), [[Pokémon X and Y|X, Y]] (as [[Breeder]] Mercy), and all [[Generation VII]] titles, where she owns a Pikachu. In {{LGPE}}, Ikue is the Pikachu [[Master Trainer]].
*Pikachu has appeared in the over world in several titles as intractable NPCs.
*Several images of Pikachu show up in [[Totem Pokémon|Totem]] {{p|Mimikyu}}'s chamber. Notably [[Ash's Pikachu]] and the [[Cosplay Pikachu]] (as Pikachu Pop Star).

====In the spin-offs====
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
* [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]: Pikachu stars alongside an unnamed child (who bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Red}}) who was recently taught how to interact with wild Pokémon by [[Professor Oak]].

===Form data===
Pikachu has sixteen additional forms that fall into four groups: [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu, and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu. All forms except the partner Pikachu are recognized by an in-game Pokédex; partner Pikachu has only been named in promotional materials.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Experience the World of Pokémon]</ref>

====Cosplay Pikachu====
[[Cosplay Pikachu]] is the base form of a group of six interchangeable forms exclusive to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is a [[Gender|female]] Pikachu who has a black, heart-shaped mark at the end of its tail, obtained from a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after the player takes part in their first {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}}. Cosplay Pikachu can change forms by dressing up in different costumes corresponding to each of the five [[contest condition]]s ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}); each form also automatically learns a [[move]] that Pikachu otherwise could not learn. Cosplay Pikachu can change or remove its costume at any [[Contest Hall]], forgetting the move it learned with the last costume (if it still knows it) and learning the move from the new costume (if applicable). If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. It also cannot be [[trade]]d via the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or [[Wonder Trade]]. Additionally, as it is not present in any games besides Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into {{g|Bank}}, and it does not register as a separate form in Pokémon Bank's [[Pokédex]], despite it registering separately in the Pokédex of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

====Pikachu in a cap====
[[Pikachu in a cap]] are eight {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive, non-interchangeable forms of Pikachu that debuted in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]], and they cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. They are also able to use the event-exclusive [[Z-Crystal]] [[Pikashunium Z]] and its corresponding [[Z-Move]] {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Their [[cry|cries]] differ from that of regular Pikachu. They are not present in {{LGPE}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], or [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

Six variants exist in Pokémon Sun and Moon, one for each of [[Ash's hat]]s from the [[original series]] to {{aniseries|SM}}. A seventh variant debuted in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, wearing the Partner Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]''. An eighth variant debuted in the Version 1.2.0 update of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, wearing the World Cap, Ash's hat from {{aniseries|JN}}.

The original six Pikachu in a cap were distributed via [[serial code]]s in Pokémon Sun and Moon in celebration of the 20th [[Pokémon movie]], and by extension, the 20th anniversary of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''. Partner Cap Pikachu was distributed in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon via a [[QR Code]] that can be [[QR Scanner|scanned]]. All eight Pikachu in a cap (including World Cap Pikachu) were distributed via serial codes in Pokémon Sword and Shield to commemorate the TV show's [[JN040|timeslot change]] to Fridays in Japan; uniquely, the Pikachu from this distribution can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}} from the [[Move Reminder]].

====Partner Pikachu====
The {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu has a separate [[List of Pokémon by index number in Generation VII|internal index]] from standard Pikachu. This allows it to have higher [[base stats]] than wild Pikachu.

The partner Pikachu is not differentiated from standard Pikachu in {{LGPE}}'s Pokédex, and it cannot be transferred out of the games.

====Gigantamax====
Gigantamax Pikachu can only be obtained through special methods, and the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}} cannot be [[Pokémon breeding|bred]].

[[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu, and Pikachu with the [[Gigantamax Factor]] cannot evolve. The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{game|Yellow}} will refuse to evolve into Raichu unless it is traded and evolved on another save file.

==In animation==
[[File:Ash Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
[[File:Roy Captain Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Captain Pikachu in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Pikachu]]=====
{{Ash}} has a Pikachu that he obtained from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of {{aniseries|PTS}}, which also marked its debut. He was the signature Pokémon of the animated series from the [[original series]] to {{aniseries|JN}} and appeared in almost every non-special episode and every [[Pokémon movie]] released throughout that point. In ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', he was revealed to be capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. He always [[Walking Pokémon|remains outside]] of his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

=====[[Pikachutwo]]=====
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} cloned Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be distinguished from Ash's due to the spikes in the black marks found on the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process. It reappeared in the sequel special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' and the remake movie ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.

=====[[Puka]]=====
A Pikachu [[nickname]]d Puka was owned by {{OBP|Victor|EP067}} on {{an|Seafoam Island}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu saved Ash from drowning by having the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

=====[[Sparky]]=====
[[Ritchie]] has a Pikachu nicknamed Sparky, who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head, and, unlike Ash's Pikachu, has no problem with living inside a Poké Ball.

=====[[Ashachu]]=====
Ash was [[Human–Pokémon transformation|turned into a Pikachu]] in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{OBP|Lily|EP241}}. He reverted to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

=====[[Cosplay Pikachu]]=====
All of the Cosplay Pikachu appeared in ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'', under the ownership of [[Frank]]. They reappeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where they were all summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} as part of a prank on Ash and his Pikachu.

=====[[Ash's Pikachu (M20)]]=====
The {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}} of the alternate continuity introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' has a Pikachu of his own. Like the Pikachu of the main series, this Pikachu was his first Pokémon and his main partner, almost always remaining outside of his Poké Ball.

=====[[Goh's Pikachu]]=====
[[Goh]] {{pkmn2|caught}} a Pikachu in [[JN035|''Gotta Catch a'' What?!]]. She, along with a few others of her kind, later evolved into Raichu during the episode.

=====[[Captain Pikachu]]=====
In ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', a Pikachu nicknamed Captain Pikachu appeared under the ownership of [[Friede]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', many wild Pikachu appear and Ash's Pikachu wants to play with them. Eventually, Ash tries to release him thinking it'd be best for Pikachu to be with his own kind, but he refused to leave Ash's side.

In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', [[James]] used a Pikachu in the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]], but it was defeated by the [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|instructor]]'s {{p|Graveler}}. After interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, James later tried to steal this Pikachu, only for it to zap James instead, as instructed by its instructor.

In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'', a Pikachu was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}}. As a result, [[Team Go-Getters]] set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

In [[BWS01]], [[Ayumi]]'s female Pikachu was trained on how to properly use {{m|Thunderbolt}} with the help of {{an|Cilan}} and {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}.

A [[Mirror World]] Pikachu appeared in ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]'', under the ownership of [[Mirror Ash]]. Unlike his regular world counterpart, Mirror Pikachu is a mischievous roughneck.

In ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'', [[Frank]] has multiple Pikachu that would participate in his filmmaking endeavors.

In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', multiple Pikachu were summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} as part of a prank on Ash and his Pikachu, though the prank failed. They were then returned to their original locations with the help of Ash's Pikachu, who coordinated them into Hoopa's portals.

In ''[[XY115|Battling at Full Volume!]]'', {{OBP|Jimmy|XY115}}'s Pikachu, nicknamed Spike, was used in a battle against Ash's Pikachu. Since Ash was ill, {{an|Serena}} took his place, unbeknownst to Jimmy and Spike. However, the match was interrupted by Team Rocket, who captured Spike, but Spike was promptly saved.

In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', [[Pikala]] has multiple Pikachu. One of them was nicknamed Curly, while another that is {{Shiny}} was nicknamed the Boss. The Boss reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM114|Beauty is Only Crystal Deep!]]''. In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', another one of Pikala's Pikachu, nicknamed Bolt, competed in the [[Battle Royal]] round of the [[Manalo Conference]]. It defeated a {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Pyukumuku}}, but ended up losing to [[Jessie's Mimikyu]].

Multiple Pikachu appeared in [[JN035|''Gotta Catch a'' What?!]]. Several of them evolved into Raichu using the Thunder Stones they dug up.

A Pikachu owned by [[Alternate World Ash]] appeared in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', [[Nurse Joy]] has multiple Pikachu, all of whom helped Ash's own Pikachu defeat {{TRT}} and send them blasting off for the first time. They reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''.

Multiple Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

In a flashback in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', [[Travis]]'s mother [[Luana]] temporarily mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder, since Travis has a Pikachu of his own.

A Pikachu appeared in [[Evolution|Brock's demonstration]] in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'', where it evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuBaseSet58.jpg|200px|thumb|Pikachu in the TCG]]
[[File:GBML Bronze Pikachu Coin.png|thumb|100px|left|Pikachu TCG Coin]]
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} known non-reprint Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.

The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, sometimes contained first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

Pikachu has also been featured on a number of TCG {{TCG|coin}}s, with one being included with the English and European languages-only {{tcg|Base Set 2}}. This coin was also featured in the {{g|Play It!}} PC game. A Pikachu coin is also featured in the [[Game Boy]] game {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, and is one of the coins that can be obtained in {{g|Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!}}, where it is given by {{TCG GB|Isaac}} to winners of the [[Lightning Club]].

==Trivia==
* Pikachu and its evolved form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* [[Veronica Taylor]] has said Pikachu is her favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. [[Sarah Natochenny]] has as well, shared with {{p|Mew}}.
* In [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Pikachu is capable of learning {{m|Surf}} via [[TM]], when it was previously only obtainable through special means.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that serves as the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] games that has a pre-evolved form. However, {{p|Pichu}} (its pre-evolved form) does not exist in either game in which it fills this role.
* Pikachu has the most {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive [[move]]s available to it.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon with two exclusive [[Z-Move]]s.
* Pikachu and {{p|Eevee}} are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon with exclusive Z-Moves.
* The Pikachu family is the only evolutionary family to have access to [[Mega Evolution]], exclusive Z-Moves, and [[Gigantamax]].
* When starting a [[new game]] in {{game|Yellow}}, Pikachu's front sprite appears with a slightly different [[List of color palettes by index number in Generation I|color palette]] (the palette index number 0x10) than usual when it is introduced by [[Professor Oak]]. This is the same red/yellow palette used for {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Jynx}} (except the [[Virtual Console]] Jynx), as well as the battle sprites of all [[Pokémon Trainer]]s.
** Due to the color palette used at the start of Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu has red cheeks (in the [[Game Boy Color]]) or pink cheeks (in the [[Super Game Boy]]). However, in this game's normal gameplay, Pikachu has dark orange cheeks instead.
* In {{game|Yellow}} and from [[Generation VI]] to {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Pikachu uses its {{pkmn|animated series}} [[cry]] ([[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]]). Before Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it was the only Pokémon to do so in the core series games.
** Its battle cry differs from status or Pokédex screens.
** The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{game|Yellow}} has unique [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voice clips]] in [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}.
** From {{g|Legends: Arceus}} onward, Pikachu's cry switched to a slightly modified version of its pre-Gen VI cry.
* Pikachu is the only core series first partner Pokémon that does not have a 7:1 gender ratio.
* {{game4|BWB2W2}} are the only core series games in which Pikachu cannot be obtained without transporting or through an event.
* Pikachu is the only not fully evolved Pokémon whose [[base stats]] increased in Generation VI, as well as the only Pokémon to receive more than one stat increase: Defense and Special Defense.
* Pikachu is the 25th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* In the Japanese {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}, Pikachu is the only usable Pokémon that is not fully [[Evolution|evolved]].
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that can be caught in all three pinball titles: {{g|Pinball}}, {{g|Pinball mini}}, and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}.
* According to ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]'', Pikachu can deliver a constant current of 1000 {{wp|ampere}}s.
* Pikachu is currently represented in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} by more cards than any other Pokémon, with {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} unique cards.

===Merchandise===

===Real life===
* The {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}} has included three Pikachu balloons. "Flying Pikachu" was the first, flown from 2001 to 2005, and was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident involving an {{wp|M&M's}} balloon in the 2005 parade.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/23/nyregion/23balloon.html?_r=0 Pikachu Soars as Trial Balloon for a Safer Macy's Parade - New York Times]</ref> It was last used in the August 2006 {{pkmn|10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade}} in New York City's {{wp|Bryant Park}}. The second balloon debuted in the 2006 parade, features glowing cheeks, and chases a {{i|Poké Ball}} balloon. The third, introduced in the 2014 parade, wears a green scarf and holds a small, Pikachu-shaped snowman.

** In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein that helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|pikachurin}}. According to them, it was so named for sharing Pikachu's "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
** The {{wp|springtail}} species ''Dicranocentrus pikachu'' was named after Pikachu.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220928170630/https://brill.com/view/journals/ise/49/1/article-p23_23.xml New species and new records of Dicranocentrus Schött, 1893 (Collembola: Entomobryidae) from Southeastern Brazil]</ref>
** The spider species ''Epicratinus pikachu'' was named after Pikachu due to the female spider's {{wp|Epigyne|epigynum}} resembling its face.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201209091240/https://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.4886.1.1 Taxonomic review and cladistic analysis of Neotropical spider genus Epicratinus Jocqué & Baert, 2005 (Araneae: Zodariidae) with description of eleven new species]</ref>

** The beetle species ''Hiperantha pikachu'' was named after Pikachu because of its yellow elytra with a black apical band that resembles Pikachu's ears.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220525023625/https://mapress.com/zt/article/view/zootaxa.5082.1.4 Notes on Stigmoderini (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) from Brazil, with the description of a new species of Hiperantha Gistel, 1834, and new distributional records]</ref>
* On December 11, 2023, {{wp|Google}} revealed that Pikachu was the "most searched Pokémon" in the platform's history during its 25 years of creation.<ref>https://twitter.com/Google/status/1734218344402743791</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KtWfp0UopM&pp=ygUPZ29vZ2xlIDI1IHllYXJz</ref>

===Concept and development===
Pikachu was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]], a core designer at [[Game Freak]].<ref>[http://www.natsume.com/news/news_pdffiles/pid_129_HSBigNames0806.pdf Natsume: THE TALENT BEHIND HOMETOWN STORY]</ref><ref name=Pokemon.com /> Pikachu had a short, stout design during the initial release of {{g|Red and Green}}, but its design was altered for ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and subsequent entries of the games, becoming slightly taller and skinnier. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Pikachu's design was altered to make animating its actions easier.<ref name=Pokemon.com /> Pikachu is depicted with a white belly similar to its evolved form {{p|Raichu}} in the [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]] {{file|Bandai Pikachu card.jpg|as seen here}}.

Pikachu also originally had a second-stage [[Evolution]] named "[[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Gorochu|Gorochu]]" (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū''), which would have had two horns and fangs.<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/3/ Page 3 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref name=SiliconEra>''[https://www.siliconera.com/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]'' — SiliconEra</ref> Sugimori stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted from Pokémon Red and Green, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it, and the limited game space meant that some Pokémon originally designed to evolve twice were changed to evolve only once.<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref>

Gigantamax Pikachu was designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1559091292889497602 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on August 15, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Pikachu was originally a {{wp|daifuku}}-like creature with ears sticking out. Its black ear tips are remnants of this original concept.<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref name=SiliconEra>''[https://www.siliconera.com/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]'' — SiliconEra</ref>

Nishida named the Pokémon Pikachu "without giving it much thought", and while it wasn't originally intended to be based on a {{wp|mouse}}, [[Game Freak]] CEO [[Satoshi Tajiri]] made the decision to base it on such. During the process of making Pikachu "cuter", as per the instructions of game designer [[Kōji Nishino]], Nishida added cheek pouches for it to store electricity in. These were inspired by {{wp|squirrel}}s, which store food in their cheeks. Pikachu's yellow coloration and lightning bolt-shaped tail were given to express Pikachu's electrical attributes and make its type easier to recognise and understand. According to Nishida, Pikachu's stripes aren't based on anything in particular, and were added to fill the empty space on Pikachu's back, as it is always visible during battle.<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref name=SiliconEra />

Pikachu's [[Gigantamax]] form is a reference to its earlier, more rotund design from [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}.<ref name=Chunkachu>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1559317105798811648 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on August 15, 2022.</ref>
