The partner Pikachu and Eevee are based in part by the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} the {{player}} receives in {{game|Yellow}}, and, by extension, [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While a direct counterpart to the partner Pokémon hasn't appeared yet in the anime, elements of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can be seen as early as ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', where [[Risa]] obtains an Eevee as a starter.

Though precursors of this feature were first seen in the [[original series]] with [[Ritchie]]'s [[Sparky]], Pikachu and Eevee with different hairstyles as identifying elements began appearing in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', around the time of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s release. These hairstyles are generally more varied and may not be ones attainable in the games. The first Pikachu with such a hairstyle appeared in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', under the ownership of an [[Alola]]n {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', several other similar Pikachu appeared under the ownership of [[Pikala]].
