I will say this for the people who have been argueing of Pikachu's gender. Pikachu, although never physically said, is in fact a male. Proof is shown of why Buneary likes him. Though some will say Buneary is a boy, proof of her being a girl is in episode #505 "Steamboat Willies!" Happiny, a (now revealed to be famale) Aipom, and Buneary get in dresses. When Dawn sees she says "You girls look so cute." directly to the Pokemon. While he is male, it has never been said of boy or girl, and the writers do not say so to make Pikachu more relatable.--[[User:Sh313|Sh313]] 01:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)SH313 | I will say this for the people who have been argueing of Pikachu's gender.

:Yes, but strangely, it has only learned those moves to overcome ROCK Pokémon, rather than ground. It learned Iron Tail to defeat Roxanne; however, it defeats her Geodude with a Thunder, and only uses Iron Tail to defeat Nosepass, which ironically CAN be hit by electric attacks because it is not half-ground, like other rock types he's fought. However, since then, Iron Tail has become a Pikachu staple, and is probably their way of getting around future physics errors of this type. It's just a running mistake or unacknowledged error for the purpose of moving the plot.

::umm... question. If it wasn't confirmed, then wouldn't they remove Pikachu and Ash from the Main cast because they didn't know what Gender it was? I mean, It wouldn't be the first time they would remove a character just because they couldn't figure out how to do something. Take [[Wikipedia:Simone_Deveaux|Simone Deveaux]] from "[[Wikipedia:Heroes_(TV_Series)|Heroes]]", for example. the creators couldn't figure out how to direct her, so they ended up killing her off. I'd say it's Male, considering the whole tail thing (If the writers were able to screw continuity in [[AG134|"A Real Cleffa-hanger]] by having all of the original cast members act as if Cleffa were always in Mt.
