* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} there is a [[Scientist]] at the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] that would trade a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talked to him after the trade, he would mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]] (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was retranslated. | * In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} there is a [[Scientist]] at the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] that would trade a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}.

** This in turn was also the major reason that Marill was dubbed "Pikablu".

*Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 literally reads "ten ten-thousands". | *Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}.
