===Pikachu's cry===
===Pikachu's cry===
Although {{p|Pikachu}} has a traditional cry, in some games, it has been given special cries, similar to the anime. This makes it the only Pokémon to have multiple cries without changing forms.
Although {{p|Pikachu}} has a traditional cry, in some games, it has been given special cries, matching its voice in {{pkmn|anime|animation}}, starting with ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' as [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]]. This makes it the only Pokémon to have multiple cries without changing forms.


In {{game|Yellow}}, the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|initial Pikachu}} has a total of forty cries, though only two occur in battle. Like the anime, all are variations of its name and voiced by [[Ikue Ohtani]].<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNV4P3DFPps Pikachu's 40 cries in Yellow</ref> Because the [[Game Boy]] lacks high-quality sound, Game Freak had to think of different ways to recreate Pikachu's cry. [[Junichi Masuda]] converted the sound into one-bit data, recreating the sound of Ohtani's voice.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Game Freak blog]</ref> This is also the case if the initial Pikachu is brought to battle in [[Pokémon Stadium]] or {{g|Stadium 2}}.
The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{game|Yellow}} has a total of forty cries, though only two occur in battle. Like in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', all are variations of its name and voiced by Ikue Otani.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNV4P3DFPps Pikachu's 40 cries in Yellow</ref> Because the [[Game Boy]] lacks high-quality sound, Game Freak had to think of different ways to recreate Pikachu's cry.

A non-[[Original Trainer|OT]] Pikachu (traded from other games or received in events) uses the chiptune cry as well. When transferred to {{g|Stadium}} or {{g|Stadium 2}}, this Pikachu uses unique voice clips that differ from regular Pikachu.

The feature returned in {{g|X and Y}} with all-new voice recordings. In these games, Pikachu has 15 cries. Two of these cries occur in battle, one is heard when viewing its status screen or Pokédex entry, and the rest appear in [[Pokémon-Amie]]. This was retained in [[Pokémon HOME]] and in later [[core series]] games until {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.
