So how come Pikachu (Ash's Pikachu) hasn't evolved yet? It has more than enough experience to evolve, but it hasn't. I know that many people would be upset it Pikachu evolved, but I mean statistically.

Edited by LahDsai: 9/8/2016 6:01:38 AMThey explained it in the episode where he fought Lt. Surge. He couldn't beat Lt. Surge's raichu and Lt. Surge suggested he evolve pikachu. Later they explained that pokémon change personalities when they evolve, essentially becoming a "new" pokémon (like how charmander was loyal but charmelion didn't give a rat's ass). Ash ultimately decided to not evolve pikachu so as to not change its personality (which would essentially be sacrificing his best friend). He ends up beating Lt. Surge anyway as Lt Surge was too eager to evolve his raichu and did so early on, meaning it didn't learn many of the speed and agility attacks it would have as a pikachu. Basically, pikachu pulls a Muhammad Ali and defeats a stronger opponent by a wearing him down.

On a somewhat related note. I had the radio on and was changing stations. I suddenly heard "pikachu! I want to peek at you!" I laughed so hard it thought I was going to crash my car

If you knew anything about Pokémon, you'd know Pikachu needs a thunderstone to evolve not exp
-
If ash is destined to be a 10 year old forever, than pikachu is destined to be a pikachu forever.
-
Ash just presses B every time Pikachu wants to evolve. Duh.
-
-
Ash was going to evolve him with a Thunder Stone but Pikachu didn't want to evolve.
-
It doesn't evolve via Xp it takes a stone to evolve it Also plot prevents it

Edited by StellarBox: 9/8/2016 3:46:37 AMBecause he kept pressing B. Also doesn't he need a thunderstone to evolve it? I can't remember.
-
He didn't want to, he rejected the thunder stone which is what makes him evolve, not experience.

.........
-
Because Pikachu is an iconic character in the show.
-
In the first series Pikachu has the option to evolve to beat the electric gym leader but rejects the offer and won't evolve
