*Pikachu is featured in the Pokémon anime series as the main Pokémon of Ash Ketchum. Ash had been too late to get one of the normal starter Pokémon from [[Professor Oak]], so Oak simply gave Ash the Pikachu he had found in the wild. Originally Pikachu's rebellious nature was emphasized, with it refusing to enter a Pokéball. But Ash and Pikachu's bond soon grew to the point where they were like best friends, although Pikachu never entered a Pokéball and always traveled at Ash's side. Ash continues to primarily use the same Pikachu throughout the series and throughout all his adventures in various lands. Other Pikachu occasionally appear, perhaps the most notable being Sparky, a Pikachu belonging to Ash's friendly rival Ritchie. | *Pikachu is featured in the Pokémon anime series as the main Pokémon of Ash Ketchum.
