Why is this considered notable here but not on other pages like Ash's Leavanny. So what if pronouns where used before it was confirmed this has been the case elsewhere. So what if gender differences couldn't count but were hinted before.
(Undo revision 2478505 by Sinnoh's Son (talk) You're right, unnecessary and too much detail. One of these days I'm gonna trim this whole page down, but for now, this is a start.)

* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[Legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.

** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[Legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a draw, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.

* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' it was confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]]. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu. To a lesser extent, his gender was also previously implied in the Japanese versions, specifically in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' (where he used masculine pronouns), and in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where Brock referred to Ash and Pikachu as being "those guys" when touched by their loyalty.
*** There were also non-verbal hints as early as ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', where Pikachu was seen carrying one of the packages immediately after the narrator mentioned that the males during Princess Day are relegated to carrying the packages.
** Pikachu's gender was also assumed male in the English translation of the [[Ash & Pikachu]] manga, in which Ash and other characters refer to Pikachu with male pronouns.
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon of {{Ash}}'s to be used in every Gym battle in [[Johto|a region]].

* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a "Biografía Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on {{Ash}}'s Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
