* {{p|Pikachu}} is the only [[Starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can have and [[Walking Pokémon|travels with the player]] on-screen, outside of a [[Poké Ball]] like {{OP|Ash|Pikachu}}. The {{ga|Blue|rival}} starts with {{p|Eevee}}, and the previous three [[Kanto]] starters can be obtained later in the game.

** Furthermore, no other wild Pikachu can be found, thus requiring the player to trade a Pikachu from another [[Generation I]] game or [[Generation II]] game to obtain another one. A traded Pikachu will also not behave like the starter Pikachu, acting as a regular Pokémon instead (even to the point of being able to evolve with a {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Thunderstone}}), unless it matches the [[Original Trainer]] and [[Trainer ID number]] of the player.

*** Another Pikachu with the same Original Trainer and Trainer ID number as that of the player can be obtained by cheating. However, it will only behave like the starter Pikachu if the original one is released. Furthermore, if one of the new Pikachu is released, the Pikachu behaving like the starter will have a disappointment face for a limited period of time.

** The [[cry]] of the starter Pikachu, or any Pikachu with the same OT and Trainer ID number of the player for that matter, is changed to "''Pika!''" when going in battle, "''Chaaaaa!''" if it faints, or "''Pikachu!''" on the status screen, instead of the original {{p|Pikachu}} cry.
