The samplers do not include full versions of each chapter, rather, they are cut off part way through. | When episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]] were first released on [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|home video]] by VIZ Media, some videos included samplers of the manga series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

Pikachu!'', was actually released prior to the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu issue 1|first monthly issue]] of The Electric Tale of Pikachu and thus was a sneak peek at the manga before its release and therefore the first appearance of any Pokémon manga to English-speaking audiences. Samplers from the first two volumes, [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 1|The Electric Tale of Pikachu!]] and [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 2|Pikachu Shocks Back!]] are known to exist.
