I am looking forward to getting my Spikey-Eared Pichu in Soul Silver, but honestly odds are it'll end up in my PC. I mean it can't be traded, so there is little use leveling it up because I can't trade to the next generation when it comes out. It can't evolve, so it's stats will be low for it's level. It's a neat idea, but in the end what exactly is the purpose of Spikey-Eared Pichu? Is it nothing more than a trophy; Something to have simply to say that you have it? I'm looking forward to seeing some other views on this.

It will rest in peace in my PC :bandit:

It is unusable, because of its low stats

A) How do you get it?

B) If contests exists, I'll use it there because it will be adorable.

To answer your question of how to get it, here in the next few months Nintendo is going to give out a Pikachu colored Pichu in Pokemon Platinum. To get this Pichu you need to connect to Wi-Fi between the dates of the event and download the wonder card. Then when HG/SS comes out buy one of them. Transfer the Pikachu colored Pichu over from Platinum and it will unlock a mini-story involving the Spikey-Eared Pichu.

I remember when I was playing Shiny Gold, I met a trainer who really inspired me. S/he was somewhere through the middle of the game (around Lake O' Rage, I think), when that person said, "Truly skilled trainers should win with their favorites...". Spiky Pichu would be considerably weak, but it looks awesome and I would like to beat the E4 with it. That is, of course, if I get the game.

~Points to Username~

To paraphrase Karen of the G/S/C Elite 4, "It doesn't matter how strong your Pokemon are, real Trainers win with their favorites."

I plan on making the Notch-Eared Pichu my first Lv.100 in HG/SS. Also, think about this: Why would they make a unique Pichu whom cannot be traded or evolved if it isn't more powerful than your average Pichu? Just like Pikachu from Yellow Version, the Notch-Eared Pichu may be stronger than other Pichu.

Even if its adorable, the stats are too low for me to use the Spiky-eared Pichu in battle, or competitive battling. Sorry.

And yeah, I will use it on my team if I can.

I might, it depends. I think it's kind of a cool novelty thing and I've often used unevolved Pokemon on my teams because I like them better. It probably depends on what my other team members are and how far along I am in the game when I get it.

I would use it occasionally. Actually, it would probably be my number one Pokémon in my party.
But what I do is try to get two, let one stay untouched and train one to Lvl. 100.

I might train it to level 100 and use it to fight the elite four and maybe even Red.

I'll get it and use it. I already love Pichu and this Pichu is just too adorable. I just hope that I can get the Shiny Pichu in order to get it.
If I can't get the Shiny Pichu, I hope someone will lend me theirs to do the event.

I don't care about its strength and I'd likely keep it in my SoulSilver since I'm sure it'll stay my favorite game. For all we know, Nintendo will create a way to transfer it to the next generation's games, like how you didn't need to trade the Pokemon from Gen. III to Gen. IV. Thus I'm sure there will be a way to send it to future generations.

Probably not. It, and the Pikachu-colored Pichu, will probably just remain in my PC as trophies. :P

It's definitely going to stay in my PC for most of my game. I probably will take it out now and then to watch it following me around and perhaps to battle my friends that aren't as experienced in the game so the stats won't be too out of balance, but that's about it really.

I admit that regardless of the Notch Eared Pichu being a special recreation of the normal Pichu (and cute too) it does lack certain benefits from a normal Pokémon. For instance the lack in evolution and trade and low categorized stats are a main factor like mentioned above. I may not choose to use it for battle, but I may prefer to test it out in the Pokéthlon to see how well it may perform in its suited category of the contest(s).

If things don't work out well to me here, then I may just keep it as a special reward from the game and take it out every once in awhile from the PC just to have it walk around with me outside during travel.

I still favor the Notch Eared Pichu though and I'm at the very least satisfied it is still available in the game. All I have to do for now is wait to receive the Pikachu Colored Pichu to activate the in-game event for it once the game is released here in the US.

What is so bad about him? Horrible stats? No evolution? That's no reason for me not to use it!^^ I train a Wigglytuff although its states are horrible, I train Pokemon cuz I like 'em!^^ I trained a Spinda only because of that. I'm so going to use, that'll be awesome when I see my Spikey-Ear Pichu against Red's Pika... Epic! :D
