Thanks to the extreme popularity of the Pokémon cartoon, Pikachu became the most famous Pocket Monster of them all. Pikachu has also become somewhat of a mascot for the franchise.

Overview

Pikachu is an Electric Mouse Pokemon. Pikachu became the mascot of the Pokemon franchise after he was given to Ash in the first ever episode of the Anime Catroon series. As an electric Pokemon, Pikachu is particularly strong againt Water and Flying type pokemon.
At the beggining of Pokemon Yellow Version the player is given a Pikachu which acts as their first Pokemon and follows them around on their journey.. Throughout the series of Pokemon RPGs Pikachu has evolved into Raichu when exposed to a Thunderstone and from Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal versions onwards it has evolved from Pichu.
Alternatively wild Pikachus can be caught in the other Pokemon titles. Pikachu uses powerful electric attacks like Thundershock, Thunderbolt and Thunderwave to paralyse its opponents. Pikachu is also very fast, especially when using its Agility attack.

Being the main symbol of the franchise, Pikachu is easily the most recognized Pokemon of all, he is also, by far, the most used character in regards of external franchise like spin-off games, apparel and toys.

Pikachu is featured as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. games. His moveset includes many of his most famous techniques from the original Pokemon games.

In 2008,Japanese researchers discovered and named a unique protein after Pikachu. The protein — Pikachurin — “plays a role in the efficient transmission of kinetic vision information from the eyes to the brain.”

Pikachu is voiced by Ikue Ohtani in nearly every instance he has been presented in.
