"Ash attempted to evolve Pikachu with the Thunder Stone after he lost to Lt. Surge's Raichu, but Pikachu chose not to evolve because he wanted to prove that he can defeat stronger Pokémon without evolving." pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Ash's_Pikachu | |

| Feb 28, 2014 at 23:52 | comment | added | Mysticial | I explained the possible reason from the writer's standpoint. If you evolve Pikachu, you've lost the cuteness of arguably the most important Pokemon character in the series. It's like killing off the main character in a popular show. You can't just do that - especially for a kids show. | |
