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

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. [[Junichi Masuda]] converted the sound into one-bit data, recreating the sound of Otani's voice.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Game Freak blog]</ref> However, Pikachu's [[Pokédex]] entry uses the regular chiptune cry like in earlier games, instead of Ikue Otani's vocalization. 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.

In the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Stadium]], the Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow is treated like any other Pokémon. When either the [[Pokémon Stadium|English Pokémon Stadium]] or [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] is connected with Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu speaks by saying its own name, [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]] (unlike the electronic noise [[cry]] of other 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}}.
