will ashes pikatchu ever evolve!?
 
im puzzled do you think ash will evolve his pikatchu?




this thread is to talk about this

kkaitlinn94 July 25th, 2009 1:25 PM

no...
if you remember back in the early episodes of Kanto, Pikachu refused a thunder stone after battling the electric gym I think
besides, what would the tv show be without Ash and his Pikachu?

Rinku July 25th, 2009 1:46 PM

Never. He wants to keep his friend the way it is, I suppose.

Neko July 25th, 2009 2:56 PM

Nope. ^^ Pikachu is like the mascot of Pokemon. It's the one Pokemon that practically everyone knows of, and associates with the show (even if they don't watch the show). If Pikachu were to evolve, it would have happened a long, LONG time ago.

Red1530 July 25th, 2009 3:11 PM

I think it is not likely because Pikachu does not want to evolve.

mew² July 25th, 2009 3:17 PM

It will NEVER evolve. Pikachu's need Thunder Stones to evolve. Ash's Pikacha did not accept a Thunder Stone when Ash offered her one. The only way it would happen if Team Rocket got the idea a Raichu would be better to give to the Boss and use a Thunder Stone on Pikachu while it is asleep.
Personally I would hate to see this happen.

Vernikova July 25th, 2009 4:40 PM

The dominating response in this thread is correct.

Pikachu rejected the Thunder Stone twice and a third time won't change his mind about it.

I Laugh at your Misfortune! July 25th, 2009 4:43 PM

no, it won't ever evolve.

Just because they're the first two Gym Leaders in the game and as a result making them the weakest doesn't mean that they're the weakest in the animé.

Bagel July 25th, 2009 5:26 PM

no...

in a early eppisode after they battled the electrick gym pickachu had the chance to evolve with an electrick stone but didnt
and
in another episode think they were in hoenn, they lost to this trainer that had a raichu and ash pulled out a thunderstone he had kept just incase. he asked pickachu if he wanted to evolve but pickachu said 'pika, pikachu, pika' or 'i wish not to evolve ash'.

i dnt think pickachu will ever evolve

Captain Hobo. July 25th, 2009 5:27 PM

No he will not the show would not be anything without him take way

It was in Sinnoh. DP074 “Pika and Goliath”/“Pikachu! Raichu! The Path to EvolUtion!!”. Click here for more information on the episode.

xxxLatiasxxx July 26th, 2009 1:25 AM

Ashes Pikachu will never evolve.

sabrinar103 July 28th, 2009 10:01 AM

Mew Ichigo July 28th, 2009 12:04 PM

Yes, or no?
Ash still has that thunderstone, and you never know what will happen.

But what happens if its a surprise...?

Gary, the Magic Fairy July 28th, 2009 11:40 PM

If Pokemon devolution/degeneration ever happens in any non-TCG canon, then yes, I do believe it could accidentally temporarily evolve, only to be returned to Pikachu (or Pichu) form within the next episode.

Otherwise, no, and you should be ashamed for even asking. :D

RUBY8 July 28th, 2009 11:54 PM

NO it will probably never evolve cuz pikachu is the mascot of pokemon so thats why and it refused the thunderstone.

BTW did you know the original mascot of pokemon was suppose to be cleffary but pikachu beat it in a popularity contest.

XxDawnfanxX July 28th, 2009 11:55 PM

Why would it? If you have watched the whole four generations of pokemon, all that Ash and Pikachu have been through, Ash wouldn't risk anything in the world to risk Pikachu's personality changing. To Ash, Pikachu is his best friend, so he doesn't care about him being a powerhouse. He didn't evolve Pikachu in Vermillion City, and won't ever I don't think.

Actually, Team Rocket successfully stolen the Thunderstone in that DP episode.

Wi-fi Battler July 29th, 2009 2:46 AM

the answer to your question is also the answer to the following question.
Will the moon ever explode causing the earth going through space hurtling towards the sun at 10,00 MPH?
no.

DonRoyale July 30th, 2009 12:42 AM

Pikachu. It has no t. :|

Pikachu will never evolve. It had the choice in "Electric Shock Showdown", it didn't.

It had the choice again in "Pika and Goliath!" and didn't again. Since "Pika and Goliath!" was recently, it's not going to be given the choice until the writers decide to recycle this tired idea AGAIN.

It's just not gonna happen. We just have to deal with the fact that his Pokemon are super special awesome...NFE's. :|

EDIT: I forgot, in the end of "Pika and Goliath!", Team Rocket STOLE ASH'S THUNDERSTONE.
Good luck evolving Pikachu now!
...
=D

Sweet Smoochum July 30th, 2009 2:13 AM

I think it won't evolve until the final episode of Pokemon. It will be when Pikachu is on the brink of losing in an important battle. A Thunder Stone will fall out of Team Rocket's Meowth balloon. (Team Rocket robs a department store and steals all the evolution stones/items earlier in the episode.) Pikachu will catch it and evolve into Raichu. It will use a powerful Electric attack (either Volt Tackle or a better Thunder Move if they make one.) It will win. Ash will become Pokemon master. That's how the entire series will end. Don't question me. ;)

Jolene July 30th, 2009 3:05 AM

Most of them won't evolve because the toy companies want to make Pokemon plushies, and plushies based on cute low-level Pokemon sell better than big scary fully-evolved Pokemon plushies.

MegaKirby August 1st, 2009 8:41 AM

Nope for two reason the one Jolene said and, the only way Pikachu would evolve is it accidently came into physical contact with a thunderstone.

Static Pichu August 2nd, 2009 7:30 PM

If ya ask me, no.
Ash would never let pikachu evolve into raichu, their bond is too strong.

And It will not end with pikachu evolving into Raichu...
Is raichu the mascot? most little kids hate raichu.

Where are you getting that logic? No they don't. Most kids I know that like Pokemon either feel indifferent about Raichu or they like it.

Anyway, no, I don't think it will. The Ash/Pika bond is too strong, and we already know that Pikachu doesn't want to evolve into Raichu.

Pichufan17 August 3rd, 2009 4:54 PM

No it will never evolve as stated above

Nyjil da Kid August 3rd, 2009 5:09 PM

The Lt. Surge episode pretty much confirmed that Pikachu won't be evolving...that DP episode I think was just to remind/ inform people who have any questions about Pikachu evolving...

Akio123 August 3rd, 2009 7:26 PM

No, it will never evolve. Pikachu has refused evolution twice. First off, Pikachu is the symbol of Pokemon. It's like Snoopy for the Peanuts or Marge's blue hair for the Simpsons. It's never going to change, they will sooner kill it of then the writers will evolve it.

Edit: The writing staff explicitly said Pikachu will never evolve. It's on the Pokebeach interview.

Sarcastic Prince August 7th, 2009 7:10 AM

Nope. 'Cause Ash is too much of a noob to force Pikachu to evolve and Pikachu is the mascot of Pokemon too.

Napalm August 7th, 2009 10:26 PM

I doubt it a lot, i don't Pikachu will ever evolve

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ August 8th, 2009 7:29 AM

I don't want Pikachu to evolve, and no its not going to evolve


:t354:TG

Tox August 8th, 2009 5:35 PM

It won't.
It would ruin Pokemon. Everyone knows about Pikachu. People who don't like Pokemon know about Pikachu. After 4 generations, they wouldn't just let Pikachu evolve. It would ruin the show completely, even for people who dislike Pikachu.

PikaBelleChu August 9th, 2009 9:25 PM

If that ever happened then the merchandise would dwindle but seriously Pika's had several chances to evolve and chose not to, he's one strong pika without having to evolve.

river_hunter979 August 12th, 2009 11:51 AM

No Way, this would of happened a loooooooooooong time ago. Pikachu refused the thunderstone 2 times, and since the 2nd time was more recent I think the writers were trying to show that pikachu won't evolve. Pikachu is the mascot of pokemon and its not likely that the only Anime series for pokemon will change him
