I do seem to remember this happening in the series premiere, when Ash first got Pikachu from Professor Oak's lab. Can't seem to remember other occurrences, though, but, to be fair, I haven't watched much of the Pok?mon anime in years (even though I have DVD sets of Orange Islands, Johto League Champions, and Master Quest.)
