'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[happiness]], and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and a major representative of [[Nintendo]]'s collective mascots.

It is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, where it is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game, and has made numerous appearances on the boxes of spin-off titles.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Pikachu.png|250px|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====Ash's Pikachu====
{{main|Ash's Pikachu}}
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode and every Pokémon movie since. Ash's Pikachu does not like being in its [[Poké Ball]].

Ash was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Even though he did attempt to, the bond between the two was too strong, so Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.

A Pikachu named [[Abigail|Sugar]] belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', and Ash's Pikachu had to fill in for it so that its owner would have the confidence to win a cooking competition. At the end of the episode, Sugar returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.

====Sparky, Ritchie's Pikachu====
{{main|Sparky}}
[[Ritchie]] also 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.

====Ashachu====
{{main|Ashachu}}
Ash gets turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

====Other====
[[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} was once a Pikachu, as was [[Volkner]]'s Raichu when Volkner was younger.

At least twenty other Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time.

Another Pikachu nicknamed '''[[Puka]]''' was owned by a man named {{ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be told apart from Ash's due to spikes on the black marks at 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.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

===Minor appearances===
Aside from Ash's Pikachu, Pokémon of this species, wild and Trainers' alike, are rarely seen in the anime. This is most likely due to the fact that Ash's Pikachu is seen in every episode.

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

A Pikachu belonging to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey and Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪ manga===
{{main|Pikachu (MPJ)}}
Pikachu is a main character in the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga series. He is the first Pokémon befriended by [[Hazel]], appearing for the first time in ''[[PPP01|How Do You Do, Pikachu?]]''.

[[File:PSPikachu.jpg|thumb|right|Pikachu in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
{{main|Pika}}
{{main|Chuchu}}
Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, a [[Pika|Pikachu]] was stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk kept chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. {{adv|Red}} arrives and captures it, ending the chaos. Although extremely disobedient at first, even prone to regularly electrocuting its owner, the two eventually got over this enmity, and this Pikachu, nicknamed "Pika," became one of his most loyal and trusted fighters, being used in almost every major battle Red has had. It also served on Yellow's team while Red was held captive by the [[Elite Four]] during the {{chap|Yellow}} before being returned to him.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 9|ninth volume]] during the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}, {{adv|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] of her own, that she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to [[Mt. Silver]], Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. In [[Pokémon Adventures volume 13|Volume 13]], after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together." The egg eventually hatches into {{adv|Gold}}'s Pichu.

Wild Pikachu also appeared in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire|RS}} and {{chap|Diamond & Pearl|DP}} chapters.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuBaseSet58.png|left|thumb|First Pikachu card; illustation by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]]]]
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu somehow 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, contained, at times, first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

==In the TFG==
One Pikachu figure has been released.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
{{sbw|Pikachu (SSB)|Pikachu}} is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Saffron City]].

In the hands of a skilled player, {{sbw|Pikachu}} is not to be taken lightly. Alongside electrical attacks, it has very good aerial attacks and superb recovery. Because of this, top-level SSB players have placed Pikachu at the top of their list, theoretically making it the best character in the game.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Smash|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
{{sbw|Pikachu (SSBM)|Pikachu}} is a returning playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Kanto: Pokémon Stadium]].

While Pikachu's play style remained the same, it was powered down in the sequel. The tier lists for Melee place Pikachu in either the Middle or Low tier.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Melee|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many Trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

=====Adventure Mode=====
While its electrical attacks, such as {{m|Thunder}} and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional {{m|Quick Attack}}, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up {{m|Skull Bash}}.

=====All-Star Mode=====
The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Pikachu Brawl.png|140px|thumb|right|Pikachu in Brawl]]
{{sbw|Pikachu (SSBB)|Pikachu}} is a returning playable character to the franchise. Its [[Final Smash]] move is {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
It has different designs for hats including Red's hat from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Brawl|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes|FS=Volt Tackle|FSM=yes}}

====Subspace Emissary====
Pikachu is first seen in the "{{sbw|Research Facility}}" stage where it is being used to power a generator. Responding to its shrieks of pain, {{met|Samus Aran}} (seen as {{sbw|Zero Suit Samus}}), the protagonist of the ''{{met|Metroid (series)|Metroid'' series}}, saves it by destroying the generator. The two then face a group of {{sbw|R.O.B}} Sentries. Pikachu then joins Samus to search for her stolen power suit. After its rescue, Pikachu can be used for the rest of the story. Samus's suit is soon recovered, but they are confronted by Samus's nemesis, {{met|Ridley}}, who grabs Samus and begins dragging her across the walls. It is now that Pikachu returns the favor, zapping Ridley with a powerful Thunder attack, which causes him to release Samus. The angry Space Pirate leader fights the two heroes and loses, though he later comes back as "{{met|Meta Ridley}}".

* '''Mei Ling:''' ''"Fine... Sorry I asked."''

====Trophy information====

'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|でんげき|Dengeki}}''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s standard special move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.

When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a blue sphere around the white ball.

==Trivia==
[[File:Stadium025.png|thumb|Pikachu's appearance in Pokémon Stadium.]]
[[File:RedPika.png|thumb|Pikachu's status screen in Pokémon Yellow.]]
* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* There have been two Pikachu balloons in the {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}. The first, known as the "Flying Pikachu" was flown from 2001 through 2005, was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident in 2005's parade, and made its farewell appearance at the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade]] in August of 2006 in New York City's Bryant Park. The second version features glowing cheeks and chases a [[Poké Ball]] balloon, and debuted in the 2006 parade.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon.
* Despite Pikachu's absence from the Unova Dex and not being native to [[Unova]], a Trainer's Pikachu can be seen in [[Castelia City]], and another Pikachu is depicted on a billboard. Also, there are several Pikachu-shaped hedges in [[Striaton City]], There is a large pikachu-head balloon near the gym in [[Nimbasa City]], and Pikachu is depicted on clothing worn by male {{tc|PokéFan}}s.

==={{v|Yellow}}-related trivia===
* Pikachu is the first [[starter Pokémon]] to not be {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{type2|Water}}.
* In the games, Pikachu is the only Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for. Pikachu is also the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio.

===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s. Its [[species]] suggests that it is based on a {{wp|mouse}}. Despite its name, however, it has no relation to the {{wp|pika}}, which is related to rabbits.

====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and チューチュー ''chūchū'' which is the sound of squeaking.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[happiness]], and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and a major representative of [[Nintendo]]'s collective mascots.

It is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, where it is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game, and has made numerous appearances on the boxes of spin-off titles.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Pikachu.png|250px|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====Ash's Pikachu====
{{main|Ash's Pikachu}}
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode and every Pokémon movie since. Ash's Pikachu does not like being in its [[Poké Ball]].

Ash was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Even though he did attempt to, the bond between the two was too strong, so Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.

A Pikachu named [[Abigail|Sugar]] belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', and Ash's Pikachu had to fill in for it so that its owner would have the confidence to win a cooking competition. At the end of the episode, Sugar returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.

====Sparky, Ritchie's Pikachu====
{{main|Sparky}}
[[Ritchie]] also 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.

====Ashachu====
{{main|Ashachu}}
Ash gets turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

====Other====
[[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} was once a Pikachu, as was [[Volkner]]'s Raichu when Volkner was younger.

At least twenty other Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time.

Another Pikachu nicknamed '''[[Puka]]''' was owned by a man named {{ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be told apart from Ash's due to spikes on the black marks at 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.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

===Minor appearances===
Aside from Ash's Pikachu, Pokémon of this species, wild and Trainers' alike, are rarely seen in the anime. This is most likely due to the fact that Ash's Pikachu is seen in every episode.

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

A Pikachu belonging to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

{{main|Chuchu}}
Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, a [[Pika|Pikachu]] was stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk kept chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. {{adv|Red}} arrives and captures it, ending the chaos. Although extremely disobedient at first, even prone to regularly electrocuting its owner, the two eventually got over this enmity, and this Pikachu, nicknamed "Pika," became one of his most loyal and trusted fighters, being used in almost every major battle Red has had. It also served on Yellow's team while Red was held captive by the [[Elite Four]] during the {{chap|Yellow}} before being returned to him.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 9|ninth volume]] during the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}, {{adv|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] of her own, that she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to [[Mt. Silver]], Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. In [[Pokémon Adventures volume 13|Volume 13]], after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together." The egg eventually hatches into {{adv|Gold}}'s Pichu.

Wild Pikachu also appeared in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire|RS}} and {{chap|Diamond & Pearl|DP}} chapters.

Pikachu is one of the few Pokémon in the manga that cannot speak human language. He is the cousin of [[Isamu Akai's Clefairy]] and is considered the smarter of the two.

Pikachu evolved into {{p|Raichu}} in ''[[PM023|Clefairy finally evolves?!]]'', but he has since devolved back to the Pikachu stage.

===In Pokémon Newspaper Strip===
[[Ash's Pikachu]] was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuBaseSet58.png|left|thumb|First Pikachu card; illustation by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]]]]
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu somehow 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, contained, at times, first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

==In the TFG==
One Pikachu figure has been released.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
{{sbw|Pikachu (SSB)|Pikachu}} is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Saffron City]].

In the hands of a skilled player, {{sbw|Pikachu}} is not to be taken lightly. Alongside electrical attacks, it has very good aerial attacks and superb recovery. Because of this, top-level SSB players have placed Pikachu at the top of their list, theoretically making it the best character in the game.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
{{sbw|Pikachu (SSBM)|Pikachu}} is a returning playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Kanto: Pokémon Stadium]].

While Pikachu's play style remained the same, it was powered down in the sequel. The tier lists for Melee place Pikachu in either the Middle or Low tier.

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many Trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

=====Adventure Mode=====
While its electrical attacks, such as {{m|Thunder}} and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional {{m|Quick Attack}}, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up {{m|Skull Bash}}.

=====All-Star Mode=====
The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Pikachu Brawl.png|140px|thumb|right|Pikachu in Brawl]]
{{sbw|Pikachu (SSBB)|Pikachu}} is a returning playable character to the franchise. Its [[Final Smash]] move is {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

====Subspace Emissary====
Pikachu is first seen in the "{{sbw|Research Facility}}" stage where it is being used to power a generator. Responding to its shrieks of pain, {{met|Samus Aran}} (seen as {{sbw|Zero Suit Samus}}), the protagonist of the ''{{met|Metroid (series)|Metroid'' series}}, saves it by destroying the generator. The two then face a group of {{sbw|R.O.B}} Sentries. Pikachu then joins Samus to search for her stolen power suit. After its rescue, Pikachu can be used for the rest of the story. Samus's suit is soon recovered, but they are confronted by Samus's nemesis, {{met|Ridley}}, who grabs Samus and begins dragging her across the walls. It is now that Pikachu returns the favor, zapping Ridley with a powerful Thunder attack, which causes him to release Samus. The angry Space Pirate leader fights the two heroes and loses, though he later comes back as "{{met|Meta Ridley}}".

[[File:SSBB Thunder Jolt.png|200px|thumb|right|Pikachu's Thunder Jolt in Brawl]]
'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|でんげき|Dengeki}}''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s standard special move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.

When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a blue sphere around the white ball.

==Trivia==
[[File:Stadium025.png|thumb|Pikachu's appearance in Pokémon Stadium.]]
[[File:RedPika.png|thumb|Pikachu's status screen in Pokémon Yellow.]]
* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* There have been two Pikachu balloons in the {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}. The first, known as the "Flying Pikachu" was flown from 2001 through 2005, was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident in 2005's parade, and made its farewell appearance at the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade]] in August of 2006 in New York City's Bryant Park. The second version features glowing cheeks and chases a [[Poké Ball]] balloon, and debuted in the 2006 parade.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon.
* Despite Pikachu's absence from the Unova Dex and not being native to [[Unova]], a Trainer's Pikachu can be seen in [[Castelia City]], and another Pikachu is depicted on a billboard. Also, there are several Pikachu-shaped hedges in [[Striaton City]], There is a large pikachu-head balloon near the gym in [[Nimbasa City]], and Pikachu is depicted on clothing worn by male {{tc|PokéFan}}s.

==={{v|Yellow}}-related trivia===
* Pikachu is the first [[starter Pokémon]] to not be {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{type2|Water}}.
* In the games, Pikachu is the only Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for. Pikachu is also the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio.

===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s. Its [[species]] suggests that it is based on a {{wp|mouse}}. Despite its name, however, it has no relation to the {{wp|pika}}, which is related to rabbits.

====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and チューチュー ''chūchū'' which is the sound of squeaking.

Ash Ketchum

2011-06-28T04:30:16Z

BumpyBuddy: /* Intro */

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon master|Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateurish [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire-type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr|his friends}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|movie 2}}, {{OBP|Latias|movie 5}}, [[Lake guardians (anime)#Azelf|Azelf]], {{OBP|Shaymin|movie 11}}, {{an|Giratina}} and {{an|Arceus}}. In the English dub of the [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well.
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash has also participated in contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against [[Tobias]], becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father was never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to Ash's further maturity and development as a Trainer.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}} and {{an|Iris}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

===Pokémon===
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.

====Currently in rotation====
In the [[Unova]] region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon with ones that are being stored at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab. Most of the time, he will switch between {{AP|Tranquill}} and {{AP|Swadloon}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash is a starring character in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a manga series based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|right|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon.]]
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types.
** This excludes the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-typed {{t|Water}}/{{type2|Psychic}}.
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.

Using {{p|Zigzagoon}}, a Pokémon Norman lends, and the player's support, Wally catches his first Pokémon: a {{p|Ralts}}. Later on in the game, Wally becomes the main [[rival]], while the alternate-gender choice ({{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}) returns to [[Littleroot Town]] to help his/her [[Professor Birch|father]]. The [[Pokémon Center]] has a man near the PC who will let players put key words on their {{ga|Trainer card}}s.

==Demographics==
The population of Petalburg City is 25. This is a fairly high number in the Pokémon games, and may be attributed to the fact that it sits right near Hoenn's west coast.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
This story begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the others}} heading for the [[Cinnabar Gym]]. Ash's path is not easy as he has to {{pkmn|battle}} other Trainers along the way. When walking along, he comes across a [[Hiker]] that challenges him to a battle. The {{pkmn|Trainer}} sends out a {{p|Rhyhorn}} while Ash counters with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Rhyhorn executes a {{m|Take Down}} [[Move|attack]]. The ground shakes as it charges right at Ash's Bulbasaur. {{AP|Pikachu}} does not like this and puts on a look of desperation on his face. Ash commands his Bulbasaur to use {{m|Leech Seed}}, but Rhyhorn closes in and sends Bulbasaur flying before the attack is launched. Ash tries to recall Bulbasaur, but Bulbasaur refuses. [[Brock]] states that it will not back down until it wins and it seems that Bulbasaur really wants to battle it. The hiker says Ash must be a bad Trainer if his own Pokémon do not listen to him and cannot even return it to its Poké Ball when told. Rhyhorn charges again, but Bulbasaur uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, stopping it dead in its tracks before following up with a {{m|Vine Whip}}. Rhyhorn [[Unable to battle|collapses]] and Ash wins. The hiker commends Ash for training Bulbasaur well. Ash then notices that his Bulbasaur cannot get up, its bulb pulsating a blue glow.

They rush Bulbasaur to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]]. Ash tells [[Nurse Joy]] about what happened and asks her to save it. Nurse Joy hooks up Bulbasaur to a machine and runs some tests. Afterward, she returns to Ash and informs him that Bulbasaur is not sick at all. It is almost ready to [[Evolution|evolve]]! Ash is purely excited, but Bulbasaur overhears Ash, not appearing to be as happy. Nurse Joy tells Ash that it will evolve at a special festival for Bulbasaur.

Everyone is asleep at the Pokémon Center and a long line of {{p|Bulbasaur}} goes past. Ash's Bulbasaur gets up and follows them. Pikachu sees this and decides that he will investigate. He wakes up Ash and they decide to follow him.

[[Jessie]] and [[James]] show up and Jessie sees all the beautiful flowers, enjoying them. James disagrees as he has allergies. Suddenly, they walk right past the big group of Bulbasaur holding Ash's Bulbasaur. Jessie says they should capture them, but the Bulbasaur all hit them with their vines, and they blast off again.

They are all following Pikachu. Brock says if they follow the trail of pollen, they might find Ash's Bulbasaur. Suddenly, the roots of a bunch of tree start thrashing around. A bunch of vines starts blocking their path to try to stop them from getting through. Ash says they will not stop, and they dive through them just in time. They were inside the Great Mysterious Garden, the legend was true, Inside are thousands of Bulbasaur.

Suddenly a tree starts to open and a {{p|Venusaur}} appears. It climbs on a big tree stump. Brock says that makes it sound like a plant. They could not find Ash's Bulbasaur at first, but when they realize Ash's Bulbasaur has a bandage on its head, they manage to spot it. [[Team Rocket]] cannot get through the wall of vines. James asks {{MTR}} to scratch his way through, and Meowth says he just had his claws filed. Jessie and James get out an axe and a saw. However, the vines attack them, and chase them away. Ash tries to yell out to his Bulbasaur, Brock stops him and reminds him that humans have never been in this garden before. All of the Bulbasaur are happy except for Ash's. All of the bulbs on the Bulbasaur's backs begin to glow.

The Bulbasaur start to evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}} one by one. Brock says that people have always disagreed whether Bulbasaur is a plant or animal. He says that maybe Bulbasaur are a symbol that all life on Earth is connected. Ash points out that his Bulbasaur is struggling to ''not'' evolve. The Venusaur yells at it, and all the Ivysaur start getting mad. The Venusaur is about to hit Bulbasaur with its Vine Whip, but Ash blocks it just in time.

Ash apologizes for coming to their festival, but states Bulbasaur is his friend. He asks if they are mad that Bulbasaur will not evolve, and they all nod. Ash says that if Bulbasaur does not want to evolve, they cannot force it to. A bunch of pollen comes from the flower on Venusaur's back, and goes on the tree, causing it to grow more. Misty says that its manipulating nature. Venusaur says to Bulbasaur that if it evolves, it could do that, too. It still refuses to evolve.

Team Rocket arrives in their {{TP|Team Rocket|balloon|mechas}}. All of a sudden, they start sucking up the Ivysaur into a bag. Pikachu flies up and Ash's Bulbasaur catches it with its vine. Ash tells Bulbasaur to knock Team Rocket out of the sky. Bulbasaur tries using Razor Leaf, but it fails. James asks if they should get Bulbasaur, and Jessie and Meowth just laugh, saying Bulbasaur is a wimp. Bulbasaur shouts and the sun suddenly rises over the horizon. The sun's rays enters through the opening into the top of the bulb in Bulbasaur's back. The Pokédex says its getting ready to use {{m|SolarBeam}}. Ash tells it to ready it's Solarbeam. The bulb glows, and a huge, blue beam of energy shoots out, hitting the balloon. The balloon explodes, and Bulbasaur frees all the Ivysaur with Razor Leaf.

Team Rocket falls to the ground in the basket. All the Pokémon are mad. They hit Team Rocket at once with all their vines, and they go flying for the second time in one episode. Ash says Bulbasaur did great. Venusaur agrees, extending a vine. Bulbasaur extends its vine and connects with Venusaur as a sign of respect.

Ash and the others leave. They notice that the garden has disappeared. They wave goodbye to Venusaur and Ivysaur.

(this page still needs work. Please add on anything you have to suggest.)

'''How to Start'''

A trading card deck must contain 60 cards sorted into three groups: Pokemon, Trainers, and Energy. you can find these cards by buying starter decks (a pre-built deck) or booster packs (ten cards from a set of 100 or so cards). A starter deck will give you all you need to play the game, while a booster pack may not give you the cards you need. On second thought, a booster pack may contain strong cards like LV.X Pokemon that you wouldn't be able to find in a starter deck.

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon Trading Cards'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum].

==Project TCGdex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project TCGDex''' covers all entries and articles about every Pokémon cards, Trainer cards and Energy Cards from the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon Trading Cards, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible.

===Participants===
To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of this list:
:A name in italics is for an active admin; a name in bold is for an active user. Also, active users who know a lot about the project are at the top under the founder.
* '''{{U|Plau}}''' - Founder; return from the dead, quite a few old cards. Adding anything that's missing.
* '''''{{U|Maverick Nate}}''''' - Various things that will hopefully get done soon. {{bp|Project Leaders|Project Leader}}.
* '''''{{U|Cipher}}''''' - Preparing articles for the release of {{TCG|Bonds to the End of Time}} in May 2009. PUI caught me out with Platinum.

Given that most of my physical card collection consists of cards whose articles already have images, you won't be seeing many images from me...
* ''{{U|Politoed666}}'' - Working on occasional needed scans, occasionally writing articles.
* ''{{U|TTEchidna}}'' - Making sure everything runs smoothly.
* ''{{U|Kogoro}}'' - Tons of cards from {{TCG|Base Set}} to {{TCG|Stormfront}}, planning to scan as many as possible!
* '''{{U|JessTehSkox}}''' - Been working on a lot of older card articles....mostly the Origins sections, since it seemed odd to have such a section on all the TCG articles that's completely empty on 95% of them!
* '''{{U|Ultamatecharizard}}''' - I got a big drawer of cards and I'll help out little by little.
* {{U|Jason}}

===Structure===

===Goals===
# Create Pokémon Trading Card pages. The [[Dark Metal Energy (TCG)]] and [[Charizard (Base Set 4)]] page are good examples.

===Infoboxes===
* {{Template|PokémoncardInfobox}}
** {{Template|PokémoncardInfobox/Expansion}}
** {{Template|PokémoncardInfobox/Footer}}

* {{Template|TrainercardInfobox}}
** {{Template|TrainercardInfobox/ReleaseInfo}}
** {{Template|TrainercardInfobox/Expansion}}
** {{Template|TrainercardInfobox/Footer}}

* {{Template|EnergyCardInfobox}}
** {{Template|EnergyCardInfobox/Expansion}}
** {{Template|EnergyCardInfobox/Footer}}

===Other templates===
* {{Template|Project TCG notice}} - to be used at the bottom of every Pokémon article.
{{Project TCGDex notice}}

* {{Template|User Project TCGDex}} - for project participants to place in their user profile.
{{User Project TCGDex}}
 

====Link templates====
These link templates are particularly useful for making lists of the cards available in the different sets or theme decks.
* {{Template|TCG}} - This link template is for cards which appear widely in the game, such as energy cards. To use this link template, type in <nowiki>{{TCG|Card Name}}</nowiki>. For example, <nowiki>{{TCG|Dark Metal Energy}}</nowiki> would result in {{TCG|Dark Metal Energy}}.
* {{Template|TCG ID}} - This link template is for cards which appear in only certain sets, such as Pokémon cards and trainer cards. To use this link template, type in <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Set Name|Card Name|Number}}</nowiki>. For example, <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Base Set|Charizard|4}}</nowiki> would result in {{TCG ID|Base Set|Charizard|4}}.
* {{Template|ct}} - This link template is to link to the TCG types, much like the {{template|type2}} template links to types from the handheld games.
