He had no choice. He woke up late and all the other trainers chose their Pokemon and all there was left was a Pikachu.
Add a contributor point please :D
Pikachu.
Well originally in the first anime premier ash had a cleafairy but it was more appealing to the audience for ash to have a pikachu so it was later changed
Ash kill Pikachu because Pikachu is useless.
Yes pikachu is ash's best friend.
Ash's first Pokemon was Pikachu, he was suppose to choose from the three originals, Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, but arrived too late, so he was forced to choose from a just currently caught and unstable, Pikachu, which now is his best friend in every season.
Pikachu doesn't want to evolve its because his bonding with Ash is great and if he evolved Pikachu's experience can change and another answer Pikachu has the speed but Raichu has the power thats why Ash cohse the speed of Pikachu rather than having the full power of Raichu because having full power isn't any problem you just have to train your pokemon hard an also love it.
No, Ash and Misty do not kiss in a Pikachu movie.
Ash's Pikachu will not evolve because Pikachu chose to stay with Ash and gain more experience and in the episode that Ash had battled Lt. Surge Nurse Joy gave Ash a Thunderstone but pikachu don't want to evolve and Brock said that pikachu has more speed than Raichu
He was going to choose squirtle then bulbasaur then charmander but they were all gone so he got stuck with pikachu ^_^
Ash has the strongest Pikachu I do too.
If you're talking about Ash's Pikachu then yes, Pikachu is a boy.A Pikachu can be a girl or a boy, but referred as an "it" in many of the games and in the Anime. Ash's Pikachu is a male, for his tail does not have a notch in the side.
In episode 39, "Pikachu's Goodbye", Ash attempts to release Pikachu to look after a group of Pikachu that had just been targeted by Team Rocket. But Pikachu returns to him at the end of the episode. That was the last time Ash tried such a thing.
