Talk:Spiky-eared Pichu

I do wonder. Should we have the page at Gizamimi Pichu, since that's the "official" name used in the calendars and such? TTEchidna 20:51, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Probably. Is it ever 'officially' called Notched-ear Pichu??? --Theryguy512 21:02, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

---This is true but I think it would make the page impossible to find. Most people probably know it as Notched-Ear Pichu as opposed to Gizamimi Pichu. --The Great Butler 01:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

That's why redirects were created. (I knew they would come to good use sometime!!!) --Theryguy512 01:56, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

True. Perhaps this page should say "Notched-Ear Pichu, known in official materials as Gizamimi Pichu..."? --The Great Butler 00:33, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Voice actor

It needs to be Shōko Nakagawa with the accent mark. "Shoko Nakagawa" links to a nonexistant page. --The Great Butler 01:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Not any more it doesn't. But still a fix would be nice oh kind admins. — THE TROM — 01:24, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Ability

When was the ability show/confirmed? The Dark Fiddler - Is teh Pedia laggin 4 u 2? 00:45, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I dunno either. But I guess it's from the Japanese movie site. I can't ready Japanese. ►Ҝəυzø8 11:59, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Can we get somebody who CAN read Japanese check the site? The Dark Fiddler - Is teh Pedia laggin 4 u 2? 02:12, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Does Pichu have any other ability I'm not aware of. I find it odd that when an anime Pokemon only has one ability, its not confirmed, I realize that a Pokemon can have 2 abilities, but I don't buy that since it goes along the gender differences. A certain Pokemon had Ability A prior to Generation X. And there's no conflicting information (albeit speculative) that a Pokemon in the anime can't have both abilities, like in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. --Dman dustin 02:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

No, it doesn't have another ability in the games, but why can't the anime give it a different one? A new anime-exclusive one? Why can't the anime say only certain Pokémon have an ability, and others don't? The Dark Fiddler - Is teh Pedia laggin 4 u 2? 11:01, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

That's the reason why we don't add Blaze as Ash's Charizard's ability, despite being the only ability Fire starters can have. It has yet to be shown or confirmed by somebody. ►Ҝəυzø8 11:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Exactly; that's why I think we should

a) Confirm Pichu's ability with a source b) Remove it. - unsigned comment from The Dark Fiddler (talk • contribs) 11:40, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Nobody? The Dark Fiddler - You enter a poorly lit room... 11:30, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I took so long. Link me.Kanjo 22:45, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Shiny

It is confirmed that little Notchie is shiny, though. *Leads all to Bulbanews*--Mew a.k.a. Prmatt11 at 23:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

No, it's not Shiny. The Event Pichu is shiny. -Sketch 23:39, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Of which is directly based off of Notchie.--Mew a.k.a. Prmatt11 at 23:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Just because the event Pichu is shiny doesn't mean that the Pichu itself is. ~ overgrown_sol 23:46, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

No the only reason why the event Pichu is shiny is because there's no ear-notched Pichu programmed into the game. It being shiny was the only thing they could've done to make it stand out compared to other Pichu's. Notched Ear Pichu however is still normal. --Dman dustin 23:48, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

It looks like that in the preview of the newer ending, there's a Pikachu-colored Pichu appearing alongside Notch-eared Pichu. So they are infact separete entities PDL 13:10, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Left vs. Right

In the article, it says it's her right ear that is notched, but that is her left ear. - unsigned comment from Wikifixer (talk • contribs)

Someone epic failed. TTEchidna 05:24, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Pichu in Ending

Too lazy to make a new section, but apparently, she is the fixation of the fourth ending. More info's on Bulbanews. Aura-Knight

It was hard to type 4 equal signs? O.o Anyways, we know this, but other than mentioning it, there isn't anything we can do, it's just speculation that Notched-ear will become a part of the main cast until then. Myzou 11:24, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes. And we need an admin to put that factoid in there, as the page is protected from vandals atm. Aura-Knight 15:01, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Name

Instead of calling him Notched-ear Pichu, Just call him by his Japanese name: Gizamimi Pichu. It's Better then Notched-ear Pichu. ☆AlienX2008☆09:37, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Same thing.--FF(edits•talk) 09:44, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

But its better. ☆AlienX2008☆ AlienX2008 18:42, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

...do you have a better reason? A less colossally vague reason?—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 22:34, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Also it's a girl. But I do wonder about calling it Gizamimi as well, since that's on official stuff... TTEchidna 22:37, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Because we wouldn't call Jun "Barry" until DP101 was released even though it was beyond obvious. Are we so sure about Gizamimi's official title 3 months before even the Japanese movie is released? I'm not really picky, I don't mind what we call it (I'll still call it Gizamimi^^) but if you want an argument for Gizamimi Pichu, there it is. Kanjo 22:42, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Shiny Pichu?

I'm hearing everywhere about a picture of a shiny pichu, the notch-eared pichu, and pikachu. Where is this image? -- Landfish⁷ 12:38, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

This is not something to be posted here. Go to your talk. --Prongs (Talk • Contributions) 15:47, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Wild

It's obviously not a trainer's Pichu,It's obviously wild. If it were a trainer's pokemon they would already reveal him or her. AlienX2008 05:48, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Also, the current location should be Michīna. AlienX2008 05:53, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Not a Biggie, But . . .

Under the picture, the caption says Notched ear Pichu, but the rest of the article and the article title calls it the "Notched-ear Pichu". Note the missing hyphen. I mean, it's not like it's a big deal, but it's just something that's bugging me is all. >.> SL-sama^contribs 21:30, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Moveset and Ability

Not sure if this info is out, but as revealed in Pokemon Sunday today:

• Charge
• Volt Tackle
• Endeavor
• Endure
• Holding: Everstone

--Pizzaman 23:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

That's the moveset of the event Pikachu-colored Pichu in the games, not Notched-ear Pichu. And games=/=anime, so that's not needed. ◄Kevzo8► 01:33, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Game Purpose

The recent CoroCoro scan for HG/SS has Notchy interacting with the Pikachu Colored Pichu owned by Gold. Should we add this to the article that it's at least involved in the games? --Jonouchi 15:08, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

According to [1], the PCP event in Ilex Forest gives the player Notchie. Should this be added? --Galladeon 07:43, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Sprite

Why doesn't anyone make a Sprite for Gizamimi (Notched-Ear) Pichu. If they can make a Sparky (Ritchie's Pikachu) can't anyone do this? AlienX2008 23:00, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

There is no need for such a sprite because it has no where to go. -Sketch 23:05, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Gender

Why does the article say Notched-ear Pichu is female? It's obviously male, or else it would have a notch in its tail. --Tyeforce 03:40, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

That's Pikachu. Pichu don't have gender differences. Further, its theme song declares it to be a girl. --DarkfireTaimatsu 03:49, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Wild?

From the new screen shots, you see Notched-Ear Pichu following behind the player. This might hint that it's been captured, for only captured Pokémon can follow the player. And because it was captured, it means that it is was a wild Pokémon.--^☆Tavisource 18:11, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

What is she?

Is she a game character,put into the anime like many other characters,or an anime character made canon in the games? Lovely Rose 21:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure she's an anime character put into the games because she was revealed to be in the anime before HG/SS.--Mr.lol 21:31, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

But,a lot of things are revealed in the anime before they are revealed in the games..Lovely Rose 21:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

pikachu?

I this Pichu were to evolved then the Pikachu would not be notch eared right? So maybe there was a notched eared pikachu programmed into HGSS? Laxafett 19:37,18 June 2009(UTC)
