Ash's Pikachu: Male or Female?
 
Ok...I'm making this topic so I could talk with it with other people who have seen the anime (doesn't matter how long you have, but if youve been seeing it since Kanto you understand my point here).

If I'm not mistaken, this has NEVER been cleared up. I mean, nobody really knows what gender it is...Im of course talking about the yellow mouse we've all loved and cared for since it first shocked Ash waaaay back in the first episode.

Most people, assume its a male. Yet I have friends who tell me Ash's Pikachu is a She....that's when it hit me: It has never been stated since Pikachu's debut if it was male or female.

But strangely, for some of other Ash's Pokemon, it has been cleared yet some are Unknown. An example is Ash's Bayleef, which is a female. Another example, like most of Ash's pokemon (I assume), is Ash's Bulbasaur...who is a male.

The pokemons personality comes into play, which Is way its obvious Ash's Bayleef is a male because of the way she acts around him or how Cool and Calm is Sceptile...which makes it obvious he's a Male.

Pikachu's gender, alongside with many of Ash's pokemon, remain unknown except for very few.

Another thing, in Gold, Silver and Crystal, when you face Champion Red...His Pikachu is a male. But this is the videogame, NOT the anime.

So I wanted to know what you guys think....:3

Vernikova July 8th, 2009 2:59 PM

Buneary is female and since Buneary likes Pikachu, and considering that Buneary isn't a lesbian, Pikachu is concluded to be male.

MechaTrickster July 8th, 2009 3:01 PM

Nah all pokemon are females... havent you noticed none of them have a.... candy cane or wang? Meaning theyre all lesbians. So to make eggs the alien grandma at the daycare multiplys them into unborn versions. :) Some same types and species are diffrent from each other because theyre the evil opposites! The opposites are evil twins! :o

ShadowChikorita July 8th, 2009 4:07 PM

Ash's Pikachu is male; Buneary has been confirmed as a female, and has a crush on Pikachu, as Warped Reflection said.

Anyhow, I honestly can't picture his Pikachu as female, judging how similar it becomes personality-wise to him.

EDIT: Pikachu is a confirmed male in the English dubs, as well as several other language dubs, but not in the Japanese version of the anime, but there have been many hints that it is male rather than female throughout the anime series, in all languages.

Credits go to Bulbapedia for that piece of info~

Johnny590 July 8th, 2009 4:13 PM

I completely forgot about the fact that Dawn's Buneary has a crush on Pikachu....ha, but you have to admit...up to that point, most of us were clueless if he was male or not.

Bagel July 8th, 2009 4:23 PM

im pretty shure that pikachus male if not
bunearys just a lesbian

that would be funny " Buneary the first gay pokemon"

LugiaFreak July 8th, 2009 4:28 PM

Besides, Ash's Pikachu doesn't have the 'dent' at the end of its tail, which also means its male.

the gender difference was only in the game not in the shows duh

any way its probably not true but lets just say that pikachus a female and that buneary a lesbian k
it makes it a lot more fun

Vernikova July 8th, 2009 4:33 PM

That could be because Pikachu was created before genders were included into the games.

No, wasn't there also a gender difference with a certain Shinx?

Anyhow, they're not going to be able to ignore the gender differences between male and female Snover(s). (o3o I'm not sure of the plural form...)

Bagel July 8th, 2009 4:40 PM

why didnt jonhy590 make this a poll!!! somebody make this a poll

and i saw that episode i thought that two untill i really took a look a the shinx there was no difference and one ws male and the other was female

MLU July 8th, 2009 4:49 PM

Yeah. Did you forget about the buneary? I don't think she would like same-sex....bleh.

Hmmm, my sister always seems to see a difference between the male and female Shinx(es?), even in the anime (she guesses, when playing the games, and encounters a shinx, and guesses before the gender symbol comes up, and is always right. XDD). :S I'd say that she's pretty good at telling gender differences also...

I think that maybe this is starting to get off topic, anyhow.

EDIT: This is a little late, so... Uh, look at the post above.

Dominus Temporis July 8th, 2009 4:51 PM

Way back when in "Pikachu's Goodbye," wasn't Pikachu flirting with a blatantly female Pikachu with a flower on its head? Yet more evidence toward it being male if I remember correctly...

But yeah, Pikachu's obviously male.

Actually, some of the Pikachu in the episode "Pikachu's Goodbye" had similar dent's/niks on their tails, so technically the gender differences may have in fact been invented by the anime and later implemented into the games.

salmence33 July 8th, 2009 5:03 PM

pikachu is male buneary is female and the phione on hold the phione is also male
and if pikachu is a female phione must have been totally freaked out to lose buneary to another girl 0_o

So you agree with me then.

Ash~The Purifying Prince~ July 8th, 2009 6:39 PM

As other people have said before; since Bunary is a girl and likes Pikachu; its obvious Pikachu is a boy, then again ever since the anime first started I've always believed that Pikachu was a boy; I mean its not really that hard to tell, well personally I don't think so anyway. You just have to watch how Pikachu acts and stuff. So yep Pikachu is a boy ^^.

Ayselipera July 8th, 2009 6:56 PM

I'm pretty sure its been confirmed that Pikachu is a male.
Still until I was told that I always though Pikachu was a girl.
Anyways in the anime Pikachu is sometimes referred to as a he so thats a dead give away.

I just googled and saw that part of the episode....lol its pretty clear now that he's a Male...xD

Same...allthough sometimes I couldn't tell because Pikachu would have certain male aspects sometimes and then other episodes you could see certain female ones...But overall they way he acts its pretty dead on you could see he is a male....:)

Inferno1 July 8th, 2009 9:54 PM

Male no real debate yes he has done som female things but without a doubt he is male

ChronicEdge July 8th, 2009 9:57 PM

There was an episode in the early anime that depicted Pikachu's short love with a trainer-owned female of his type (I believe that it knew Surf, and used it to rescue Ash or something like that). There's also that damned Buneary.

EDIT: Dominus Temporis has it down; check out that guy's post.

Actually, the only reason why Pikachu wouldn't have a dent in its tail, if it were a female, is because it was from Generation 1. Up until Generation 4, none of the Pokemon in the show had gender differences until Ash hit Sinnoh, so the same could be said for Gary and Brock's, May, Misty, etc's Pokemon as well, their Pokemon that's not from Sinnoh wouldn't have gender differences because the ones that have differens were all found in Sinnoh.

But even without Buneary crushing on Pikachu, you could tell it was male by its actions, just like you can tell Piplup is male and Pachirisu is.... well I think Pachirisu is male >_>

Reirel Erneth July 8th, 2009 10:11 PM

Dawn's Buneary loves Pikachu, isn't she? I mean, Buneary is a female, right? Then Pikachu sould be male. Unless Buneary is a male. But I don't think so.

Gary, the Magic Fairy July 8th, 2009 10:47 PM

I didn't think people still seriously had any doubts.

Ash calls him "buddy" all the time, and it's pretty much been implied to be male since the beginning. It's voice has been generally masculine, and.. it's just obviously male.

Kazukii July 8th, 2009 10:51 PM

Isn't it obvious that Pikachu's male... xD

*Charizard* July 9th, 2009 2:48 AM

In the Pokemon diamond and pearl series, Dawns Buneary likes ash's Pikachu so most likely Pikachu has to be male unless Buneary swings the other way. lol.

xxxLatiasxxx July 9th, 2009 2:56 AM

I'm pretty sure that Ash's Pikachu is a male.

Neko July 9th, 2009 3:32 AM

Even before Buneary came in, I always looked at Pikachu as being a male Pokemon. I don't know why... his personality just matches a guy's a guess. XD Plus whenever they went in those hot bath things, wouldn't Pikachu go with Misty/May/Dawn/whoever instead of going to the guy's side with Ash?

No offense taken, and it was ten-eleven years ago, actually. I think the only reason I remembered that is 'cause it's one of my favorite episodes and I stopped watching mid-Johto, so I don't have the recent stuff in my memory...

Come to think of it, I think the same thing was in the Electric Tale of Pikachu comic.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ July 9th, 2009 8:07 AM

i really don't care what that fat rat is, but I think its a male, I've been thinking like that for years

I was about to say the same thing....lol

But, I think Pikachu has always been voiced by the same Japanese actress, both in English and Japanese. :X

Vernikova July 9th, 2009 4:41 PM

No. Pikachu was dubbed by an English voice actress durng certain episodes by Rachael Lillis, voice actress of Maylene, pre-PUSA Misty and Jessie, etc, when Ikue Ohtani's, Japanese voice actress of Pikachu, voice was overlapped. She voiced him in EP001: Pokémon- I Choose You! and in other episodes.

derozio July 10th, 2009 7:05 AM

Ash's pikachu is male in my opinion.

FreakyLocz14 July 10th, 2009 7:21 AM

I don't know I thought male but was just a mere assumption

Saltare. July 10th, 2009 8:20 AM

I think it's male.

Since Buneary has a crush on it and Buneary sounds more girly and Dawn dresses Buneary in dresses and such.

Corvus of the Black Night July 10th, 2009 8:26 AM

According to D/P's gendered sprites, Female Pikachus have a small dent in their tails... which Ash's Pikachu (and all of the other Pikachus) do not have.

I smell a sausage fest...

Well, for the majority of the English Dub, Pikachu had his Japanese voice. Also, Edward Elric was dubbed by a female in Japanese, and there are myriads of other shows in which male characters are voiced by females and vice versa. It isn't all over, but it's a notable amount.

Actually, this isn't true. If it's the anime you're talking about, then that Pikachu he was flirting with didn't have a flower on it's head. Instead, it was just smaller than all the other Pikachu. Like a baby Pikachu. :3 I think you're talking about the manga, Electric Tale of Pikachu, which isn't really connected to the anime in the first place. ^^u

I know. Women generally voice young boys since they don't sound a gruff as older men.

TkBento PT July 11th, 2009 3:10 AM

i think Pikachu its male because on first temp he have a crush for a Clefairy on Mt.Moon :P because of this i have voted on male :cool:

Xashlei July 11th, 2009 10:41 PM

I think Pikachu is a male. My sis used to tell me it was a girl because we had stickers of Pikachu wearing ribbons or dresses, but I'm pretty sure those weren't official. Also I don't think they'd made Buneary lesbian...

TheHolyPeep July 12th, 2009 8:43 PM

I've always considered Pikachu male.

Funny thing is, I'm not actually sure why.

Gligar09 July 12th, 2009 8:47 PM

I think Ash's Pikachu is a male. It never occoured to me why.

Zeroess July 13th, 2009 1:09 AM

It is a male! LOL! XD Plus bunarys a girl and I think bunary fancies Pikachu! ^_~

Niprop July 14th, 2009 6:33 PM

Neither, Pikachu is asexual, and reproduces through spores.

XxDawnfanxX July 14th, 2009 6:59 PM

Ash's Pikachu is a male, this has been known for way long back. There have been cases where Pikachu seems to like hanging around female trainers, as well as Buneary's crush on Pikachu. I also recall in the show Pikachu being referred to as "he" quite a few times as well.

Pikachu the Speaker July 15th, 2009 9:27 AM

It's a male. My friend said "Pikachu is female? No, He is male! I think He is voiced by a male in English!". I think he is right.

Yeah, some Pokemon keep the exact same voice that they did in Japanese, others are dubbed over by English voice actors for the Pokemon that have different names in Japanese and English. Off the top of my head, Pachirisu and Buizel also keep their Japanese voices. But I still think Pikachu is a boy ~

I think Pikachu is male, though...after all, they're not going to have buneary being a lesbian, are they?

A Pixy July 15th, 2009 11:34 AM

I'm assuming the male, female Pikachu difference doesn't count. Because it should! I'm pretty sure they put that in DPPT to show people that.

There's that factor too! Unless someone here pulls an Edgeworth, I think there's no proof that Pikachu's female.

Well sometimes Pikachu would go to the guy's side with Ash. It usually would split most of the time, but Pikachu does have a very affectionate side towards Misty/May (not sure on Dawn since I dont watch Diamond and Pearl that much). But since I first started watching Pokemon the moment it appeared I always thought of it as him. Plus remember watching an episode from the second season when it was re-airing on boomerang. It was the one where Butch and Cassidy made Pokemon go evil...Ash called Pikachu a boy in that one when referring to him to Officer Jenny after Pikachu and Togepi attacked the group and then left.

But like most have said, only the dubs show more hints, yet the Japanese do too. Look at the many Pokemon Contest for Dawn, the other Pokemon be wearing cheerleading outfits why Pikachu still hasn't been caught dead in one. Why Piplup? I don't kno...T_T but thats off topic

Anxiety. July 16th, 2009 10:59 AM

I'm sure in a few episodes it is referred to as 'He'.
That should clarify that it is male, surely.

Cloche July 16th, 2009 11:18 AM

It has always been my general belief that Pikachu is a boy... I think it was referred to as "he" like someone else has said above. But, I guess it could be left up to interpretation.

Sweet Smoochum July 18th, 2009 11:53 PM

I believe Pikachu is a male 100%. I'm still unsure about Ash's gender though. That's still a mystery to me.

The Jewel of Life July 24th, 2009 12:52 PM

Okay, I have undenyable proof that pikachu is a girl, that involves buneary AND phione. THink about it, wouldn't phione stop liking buneary if he found out that she liked a girl. Most guys I know would find that pretty wierd.

Also cerulean 15, the answer about piplup can also be found in the phione episode. Piplup went up to phione and started acting friendly... too friendly. It's possible that piplup is a girl. Duh! XD

gothboyz1992 July 25th, 2009 12:28 AM

You DO realize that the Bidoof and Steelix episode had at least one Bidoof with the Male Gender Difference with several with the Female Gender Difference, right?

Well, anyways, I'd say Pikachu's male. For instance, we've already had Pikachu willingly wearing boy clothing (or Japanese equivalent of boy clothing) all the time (Barring Misty's fantasy of it wearing a dress.), the few times it wore girls dresses (like the maid outfit), it was clearly embarassed, Buneary had a crush on it, it was seen carrying packages in "Princess vs. Princess" (This one is a very BIG hint at it's gender, as the narrator said that the males at the Princess Festival are absolutely required to carry the packages.).

There were also a few times in Pikachu's goodbye where some of the Pikachu had niks on their tails that were extremely similar to the gender differences to Pikachu. I'd supply a screenshot, but sadly, Serebii.net doesn't seem to allow people to take screenshots from the episode pictures section.

Redstar July 27th, 2009 8:54 AM

It's kinda sexist for you people to say these different Pokemon are "male" or "female" based off of personality. Ever heard of transgenderism? And besides... This is an Eastern cartoon dubbed in the West. Our cultures are vastly different with certain things acceptable there and not here and vice versa.

For example: James is gay in the Japanese anime. Yet in our dub, he's simply effeminate with the occasional gay implication slipped past the censors. So does anyone really think it unlikely a Pokemon couldn't also be gay/lesbian, or have a non-gender specific personality?

Umm, correct me if I'm mistaken, but I thought James was attracted to THREE females over the course of the Show, which implies that he's not gay, even in the japanese version?

And I didn't even bring up gender based on personality traits.

Sydian July 27th, 2009 10:10 AM

I'm just going with the fact that Pikachu was groping Ash's momma. Nah, I've always thought Pikachu was a boy. I can't explain it, though. It's just a hunch.

noobiot100 July 27th, 2009 5:48 PM

I really don't know, but if Dawn's buneary is a female, then pikachu is probably a male.

It's all according to context. James could have been going ga-ga over females to suggest they were just so beautiful and make a joke that even the gay guy is into them... But to be honest, I really don't know. Of course there's no references on Bulbapedia, but I have read he was before in a discussion on original/dub differences.

I wasn't referring specifically to you, but to pretty much everyone that's posted in here.

Åzurε July 27th, 2009 9:21 PM

Most pokemon are non-masculine in appearance, but you can generally tell by the character what they are.
If it was my world, Pikachu might end up a girl (hehe- I mean, eeeww! XD), but canon implies, if not states that he's a he.

Well, I don't think a "homosexual guy" would even be attracted to one girl. Plus, you have to take into account the episode "Ghost of Maidens Peak" where he was clearly smitten with the ghost.

Jolene July 30th, 2009 3:08 AM

Pikachu is pretty obviously male.

Air Pichu July 30th, 2009 7:00 AM

I've been watching it for a loooong time now and Pikachu is a male. In many episodes there are many references that Pikachu is a %100.0 Pure MALE.

MegaKirby August 1st, 2009 8:31 AM

Well if we use the game logic, it is male sense it tail is a full diamond shape.

There actually has been a few eps that pikachu is refered to as a he, one main one is the ep where it's princess day.There is of course the game differences with the tail but that was long after the fact of the anime and with that would also mean pikachu's were never pichu's cause in pikachu's goodbye you clearly see baby sized pikachu's compared to the adult sized pika's in that ep and no pichu's were present.

Phione was a female ad had a crush on buneary, which makes buneary a dude, and he liked ash's pikachu, which must mean pikachu a girl!

Male.

Acts like a boy. Looks like a boy. Kinda talks like a male Pikachu.

They didn't mention Phione's gender in the episode, from what I remember.

To be honest, I really believe that Ash's Pikachu is a male. Dawn's Buneary proves much to be a female and has a crush on Pikachu since the start. The reasons to support this is because Buneary enjoys dressing up and has female characteristics in its behavior. Though, besides the crush, Pikachu has always seemed to be more a male Pokémon than female. So, whether it was a female I would probably still end up referring to it as a "he" for habital reasons and the sense that it seems more portayed as a male.
