-{{nihongo|'''Pikachu'''|ピカチュウ|Pikachū|}} is one of the [[List of Pokémon|fictional species]] of [[Pokémon]] creatures from the multi-billion-dollar<ref name=sev>{{cite web|url=http://sev.prnewswire.com/entertainment/20051004/LATU06404102005-1.html|title=Pokémon Franchise Approaches 150 Million Games Sold|publisher=[[PR Newswire]]|accessdate=2006-02-28}}</ref> ''[[Pokémon]]'' [[media franchise]]&mdash;a collection of [[video game]]s, [[anime]], [[manga]], [[book]]s, [[trading card]]s, and other media created by [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. As do all Pokémon, Pikachu fight other Pokémon in battles central to the anime, manga, and games of the series.<ref name="ign">{{citeweb|url=http://uk.gameboy.ign.com/articles/389/389660p1.html|title=''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Pokémon Sapphire'' Review (page 1)|publisher=[[IGN]] |accessdate=2006-06-01}}</ref> Pikachu is among the most recognizable Pokémon, largely due to the fact that a Pikachu is a [[Fictional character|central character]] in the [[Pokémon (anime)|''Pokémon'' anime]] series. Pikachu is widely considered the most popular Pokémon,<ref name="Pikachu's Global Adventure"/> and is regarded as the official [[mascot]] of the [[Pokémon|Pokémon franchise]].
-In the Pokémon Franchise, Pikachu are often found in houses, [[forest]]s,<ref name=diamond>Pokédex: It lives in forests with others. It stores electricity in the pouches on its cheeks. {{cite video game|title=Pokémon Diamond|developer=[[Game Freak]] |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |date=2007-04-22 |platform=[[Nintendo DS]] }}</ref> [[plains]], and, occasionally, near [[mountains]], [[islands]], and [[electric]]al sources (such as [[Power station|power plants]]), on most [[continent]]s throughout the [[Fictional universe|fictional world]].

-}}</ref>
-==Concept and creation==
-The design and [[Art director|art direction]] for Pikachu were provided by [[Ken Sugimori]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=91965 |title=Game Freak on Pokémon!|author=Stuart Bishop|publisher=CVG |date=2003-05-30|accessdate=2008-06-04|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/5VSJaR6xT|archivedate=2008-02-08}}</ref> a friend of the creator of the ''Pocket Monsters'' game, [[Satoshi Tajiri]], and the species appeared as the starting character for players in ''[[Pokémon Yellow|Pokémon Yellow: Special Edition]]'' for the [[Game Boy]]. In the early [[Pokémon (video game series)|''Pokémon'' video games]], all Pokémon were portrayed by [[Sprite (computer graphics)#Hardware sprites|two-dimensional sprites]], but in later releases appearance has been conveyed by [[Sprite (computer graphics)#Move to 3D|3D computer graphics]]. Throughout, the character has been portrayed with no [[Dialogue|spoken dialogue]]. In the series' [[Pokémon (anime)|anime]], has [[facial expression]]s, [[body language]], and speak by repeating syllables of its name, using different pitches and tones.
-The name is a [[portmanteau]] of the [[Japanese language|Japanese]] words ''pikapika'', an [[onomatopoeia]] for electric sparkling, and ''chū'', which is the [[Japanese sound symbolism|Japanese onomatopoeia]] for a mouse's squeak.<ref name=kotaku>{{cite web|url=http://kotaku.com/347021/the-true-meaning-of-|title=Japan: The True Meaning of |accessdate=2008-06-02}}</ref> It refers to both the overall species, and to the individual within the games, anime, and manga series. This should not be confused with the actual [[Pika]] animal.
-==Characteristics==
-Pikachu are small, [[mouse]]-like Pokémon that have short, yellow fur with brown markings covering their backs and parts of their tails.<ref name="dex">The in-game [[Pokédex]] of the ''Game Boy'' series ([http://www.pokemondungeon.com/pokedex/pikachu.shtml A copy of them from ''pokémondungeon.com]'') URL accessed on March 27, 2006.</ref> They have black-tipped, pointy ears and red circles on their cheeks, which are said to contain "electrical sacs".<ref name=diamond /> Their tails are shaped in the form of a [[lightning bolt]].<ref>{{cite video game| title = Pikachu Trophy Information| developer = [[Sora Ltd.]]| publisher = [[Nintendo]]| date = 2008-01-31| platform = [[Wii]]| version = | level = | isolang = | quote =  Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks.}}</ref> In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'']], [[Sexual dimorphism|gender differences]] were introduced for some Pokémon; a female Pikachu now has an indent at the end of its tail, giving it a [[Heart (symbol)|heart]]-shaped appearance.
-The [[Pokédex]], in several games in the series, states that Pikachu forage for [[Berry|berries]]. In lieu of climbing [[tree]]s,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pokezam.com/anime/episodes/challenge/366.php|title=PokeZam.com - Episode 366 - Pokeblock, Stock and Berry|work=PokeZam.com}}</ref> they use small electrical bolts to release the berries and apples from the tree, roasting them at the same time. For already fallen berries and apples they use their electricity to roast and tenderize them. They are said to store electricity in their cheeks,<ref name=diamond /> and by simply squeezing them they can discharge sparks, [[Thunderbolt|bolts]], or other forms of electricity. Discharging sparks and thunderbolts may be a sign of wariness from the Pokémon. An inability to discharge electricity, as occurs in the presence of a strong [[magnetic field]], causes an illness with [[influenza|flu]]-like symptoms. Pikachu tend to gather in areas with high amounts of thunderstorm activity. When threatened, a group of Pikachu can generate an intense electrical output, and the [[Electromagnetism|electro-magnetic]] forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce short-lived, localized [[Thunder and Lightning|thunder and lightning]] storms.
-Pikachu [[Pokémon evolution|evolves]] into [[Raichu]] via the use of a Thunder Stone; however, it is somewhat common for trainers to choose not to evolve their Pikachu. In the ''[[Pokémon Yellow]]'' game, using a Thunder Stone on a Pikachu makes it cry and refuse to evolve. From the second generation of the ''Pokémon'' games onward, Pikachu has an evolutionary predecessor, [[Pichu]], which evolves into Pikachu after establishing a close friendship with its trainer.
-==Appearances==
-===In the video games===
-In the video games, Pikachu is a low-level Pokémon usually found in [[Kanto (Pokémon)#Viridian Forest|Viridian Forest]], and the [[Kanto (Pokémon)#Power Plant|Power Plant]] in the earlier games, or in the [[Safari Zone]] in the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Ruby'']], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Sapphire'']], and [[Pokémon Emerald|''Emerald'']] versions. Pikachu also appears in ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' at the Trophy Garden.
-The game ''[[Pokémon Yellow]]'' features a Pikachu as the representative Pokémon, featured on the box art and as the only available [[Gameplay of Pokémon#Starter Pokémon|starter Pokémon]]. Based on the Pikachu featured in the Pokémon anime, it refuses to stay in its [[Poké Ball]], and instead follows the main character around on screen. The trainer can speak to it; it displays many different reactions depending on how it is treated. Another game centered around Pikachu is ''[[Hey You, Pikachu!]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]].<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/ Hey You, Pikachu!] ''Nintendo.com'' Retrieved July 17, 2006</ref> The player interacts with Pikachu through a microphone, and can issue commands to play various [[Minigame|mini-games]] and act out situations. The game ''[[Pokémon Channel]]'' follows a similar premise of interacting with the Pikachu, though without the microphone.<ref>[http://uk.cube.ign.com/objects/566/566823.html Pokémon Channel] ''IGN.com'' Retrieved July 17, 2006</ref> It also appears in almost all levels of ''[[Pokémon Snap]]''. Pikachu is also one of the sixteen starters and ten partners in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]'' games.
-Pikachu has also appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]],''<ref name=bros>[http://www.smashbros.com/ Smash Bros.com] Retrieved July 17, 2006</ref> ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'',<ref name=melee>[http://ssbm.detstar.com/ Super Smash Bros Melee.] ''detstar.com'' Retrieved July 17, 2006</ref> and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''<ref>Smash Bros. Dojo! [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pikachu.html Pikachu]  Retrieved September 17, 2008</ref> as a very agile and mobile [[Player character|playable character]]. Its attacks include Quick Attack, Skull Bash, Thunder Jolt (an ability that had previously appeared in the trading card game), and Thunder. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Volt Tackle is its Final Smash.<ref>Smash Bros. Dojo! [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pikachu.html#3rd Pikachu: Final Smash]</ref> In the game's Adventure Mode, the Subspace Emissary, [[Samus Aran]] frees Pikachu from a machine sapping its [[Electrical energy|electric energy]]. From that point on, the two team up. The two retrieve Samus' [[power suit]], and Pikachu rescues Samus from the clutches of the [[Metroid]] series' antagonist, [[Ridley]], by using one of its electrical attacks. The two then proceed to help fight the Subspace army.
-A popular flash game called "Pikachu Volleyball" was also made popular in the early 1990's. It is a 2-dimensional, 1-on-1 arcade style, PvP game. Although not entirely well-known, it has generated a small "cult-like following". The current North American Champion is Antony Kao, a student at the University of British Columbia. A close rival to Antony Kao, is 2-time North American Champion, Adam Ohashi, also a student at the University of British Columbia.
-===In the anime===
-[[Image:Pokémon episode 1 screenshot.png|thumb|left|Ash Ketchum and Pikachu together in the pilot episode, "[[Pokémon, I Choose You!]]" ]]
-The [[Pokémon (anime)|''Pokémon'' anime]] [[Television program|series]] and [[film]]s feature the adventures of [[Ash Ketchum]] and his Pikachu, traveling through the various [[Pokémon regions|regions]] of the Pokémon universe. They are accompanied by a group of alternating friends, including [[Misty (Pokémon)|Misty]], [[Brock (Pokemon)|Brock]], [[May (Pokémon)|May]], Max, [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]], [[Pokémon Snap|Todd]] and [[Dawn (Pokémon)|Dawn]].
-Many other wild and trained Pikachu appear throughout the series, often interacting with Ash and his Pikachu. The most notable among these is [[Richie (Pokémon)|Richie's]] Pikachu, Sparky. Like most other Pokémon, Pikachu communicates only by saying syllables of its own name. It is voiced by [[Ikue Otani]] in all versions of the anime, except in a number of English-language episodes in which [[Rachael Lillis]] played the role and another person overlapped Pikachu's voice.
-In the first episode, Ash Ketchum receives his Pikachu from [[Professor Oak]] as his starting Pokémon. All new trainers are given a starting Pokémon. At first, Pikachu largely ignores Ash's requests, shocking him frequently and refusing to be confined to the conventional method of Pokémon transportation, a [[Poké Ball]]. However, Ash puts himself in danger to defend Pikachu from a flock of wild [[Spearow]], then rushes the electric mouse to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Through these demonstrations of respect and unconditional commitment to Pokémon, Pikachu warms up to Ash, and their friendship is formed. However, it still refuses to go into its Poké Ball. Soon after, Pikachu shows great power that sets it apart from Pokémon, and other Pikachu, which causes [[Team Rocket]] to constantly attempt to capture it in order to win favor from their boss, Giovanni.
-===In other Pokémon media===
-Pikachu is one of the main Pokémon used in most of the Pokémon manga series. In ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'', [[Red (Pokémon)|Red]] and [[Yellow (Pokémon)|Yellow]] both train a strong Pikachu. It is originally captured by Red, but after Red goes missing two years later, Yellow teams up with his Pikachu, accompanying it in their quest to find Red. It is also featured in series based on the anime, such as [[Pokémon (manga series)|''Electric Tale of Pikachu'']], ''[[Ash & Pikachu]]'', and other series, such as ''[[Magical Pokémon Journey]]'' and ''Getto Da Ze''.
-[[Trading card|Collectible cards]] featuring Pikachu have appeared since the initial ''[[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]'' released in [[October 1996]]. The character has been seen in many incarnations in sets released in North America, and even more exist when [[Special edition|limited edition]] promotional cards are included.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071109061347/http://www.pokebeach.com/sets/exlegendmaker.html EX Legend Maker set card list] ''Pokebeach.com''. Retrieved October 15, 2006.</ref>
-Pikachu has also been used in promotional merchandising at [[Fast food|fast-food]] chains such as [[McDonald's]] and [[Burger King]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The Pojo - TCG Set Lists McDonald's Campaign Expansion Set|url=http://www.pojo.com/priceguide/jpMcD.html|accessdate=2008-06-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Fastfoodtoys.Net Pokémon 2000 Toys|url=http://www.fastfoodtoys.net/burger%20king%20pokemon%20power%20cards.htm|accessdate=2008-06-04}}</ref>
-==Cultural impact==
-===Background===
-Pikachu first appeared in 1996, among the 151 initial Pokémon mascots when [[Game Freak]] delivered the first-ever ''Pokémon'' game for the Japanese [[Game Boy]].<ref>{{cite video game | title = Pikachu Trophy Information | developer = [[Sora Ltd.]] | publisher = [[Nintendo]]| date = 2008-01-31| platform = [[Wii]]| version = | level = | isolang = | quote = Appearances: Pokémon Red/Green (1996)}}</ref> The creators of the initial 151 [[List of Pokémon characters|Pokémon characters]] treated each one equally, and left it to the fans to decide which one would become the official mascot. The fans chose Pikachu, which alternatively led to its appearance in the anime alongside Ash.<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://stars.ign.com/objects/920/920547.html|title=Pikachu (Character Profile)|publisher=[[IGN]]|accessdate=2008-07-29}}</ref>
