The average Pikachu really doesn't have a good defense at all. This can easily apply to Ash's Pikachu considering how often it gets too injured to battle.
Pikachu's not the only Electric type that could cause clouds to appear out of nowhere. Besides Zapdos (and maybe Raikou, but I'm not sure since I didn't watch that Japanese episode), didn't Dragonite cause clouds in a very old episode? My memory's kinda rusty...
And about Gender. Gender does exist for only the gender specific Pok?mon, such as the Nidoran, Tauros, Miltank, and others. However, there are cases where gender would be appropriate, but yet the characters still refer to that Pok?mon as an 'it'. If I remember correctly, Ash's Lapras had a mother, but Ash still called it 'it'. And the Pok?mon that Totodile liked very much? The Marill was an 'it' too. Meowth would definately be a he, but I can't recall anybody calling him by a male term.
Maybe the Pichu Brothers are refered genderless as well? That'd be wierd!
Actually, this is due to poor translation on 4Kids' part since they don't seem to want to risk calling something male when it's obviously female and vice-versa. Plus I believe it's also because there's no exact word for him/her in Japanese (at least, I think there is..>_>). Nyaasu HAS been refered to as a male in the original and there was the specification with Nyaasu's love being called female and Nyaasu being called male. Waninoko's been refered to as a male as well during the whole love episode. IIRC, pretty much everything's seen as male unless it's either noted or blatantly obvious (and having cutesy, female voice doesn't count in the ways of Purin and Pippi).dqle said:And about Gender.
