Maybe he was still a Pikachu because Pichu didn't not exist when the anime was made. The videogames "Gold and Silver" were not made until in 1999.
Pikachu
mabye sometimes when ash does something wrong. ya in season one ash starts looking at other pikachus and pikachu catchs ash with another Pokemon and a safarie ball in his hand and pikachu got really upset.
IDK But THis Is How I Got It Find A pikachu Or pichu That Holds A light Ball ( 5% Chance it Will Have it )
yes, i got it from the Pokemon wi-fi event. it knows, volt tackle, iron tail, dig, and brick break What's your Friend Code? I've got a Pikachu-colored Pichu, what'll you trade for one?
It's impossible, the spikey-eared Pichu is always female. The Pikachu-Colored Pichu (The one you got from Game Stop/Wi-Fi) is always male.
well yes because ash's Pikachu was the first pokemon that ash got and he formed a very close bond with that pokemon, hence as to why its always with him in the TV series and the pokemon movies
Pikachu was in the Poke Ball that Ash had received from Professor Oak.
When the series first started pikachu didn't like Ash that much because he just got it and he was an inexperienced trainer and to top it all off he immediately hugged pikachu which he didn't like so he shocked him.
it depends he first got pikachu but he fiirst got a caterpie and the first kanto starter he got was bulbasour
Back in Indigo Plateau (1st season), Pikachu declined a chance to use a Thunderstone. When Gym Leader Lt. Surge was teasing Ash of being a "baby," Ash's Pikachu attacked Surge's Raichu, but Raichu knocked Pikachu out. Brock suggested that Ash use a Thunderstone that Nurse Joy offered, but Pikachu decided to grow stronger on his own without a Thunderstone, then Ash got the idea of teaching Pikachu Agility. Therefore, Pikachu may never evolve. This makes sense, since there was another Trainer who rivaled Ash in Hoenn and had a Meowth with the same story: it lost to a Persian once and then hated all Persians since then.
i have pokemon emerald and when i caught a wild pikachu in the safari zone it was holding a light ball and i breeded with a ditto and got a pichu with volt tackle so just catch a pikachu and keep trying ultil it is holding one
Pikachu, Gliscor, Monferno, Grotle, Starapter, and Buizel. Gliscor is gone now and Ash got a Gible.
