The Pokemon series is one of the most important IPs on Nintendo hardware, while The Pokemon Company also goes big with releases on smart devices and the Trading Card Game. Often, when Pokemon is front and centre, Pikachu is normally used as the face of the franchise.
With Pokemon now in its 21st year the yellow mascot is still one of the most recognisable characters in gaming, and now Did You Know Gaming? has done its usual thing in working through Pikachu trivia.
Check it out below.
It Pikachu among your favourites, or do you root for the lesser known Pocket Monsters?

Why do they keep parroting the Clefiary mascot thing? There's still no proof of this.
Still waiting for that Detective Pikachu game...
Wow, I can't believe it's been over a year since that great 20 year anniversary... good times.
Well, I am always gonna love Pikachu no matter what.
Interesting they used clips from the Pikachu&Pichu short, considering in Japan they don't want anyone to remember it...
Wanna know a secret about what happens to your trainer in all Pokemon games with a clock feature?
Pikachu, I choose you!
Don't really care for him in the games (though I have used him as my electric type in my party once or twice, not including Yellow). But I still enjoy him in the anime. You always know stuff is about to get real when Ash calls Pikachu into battle.
@Firelork Satoshi Tajiri confirmed it in an interview.
@KinneKted
Do you have a link to that interview by any chance? I must have missed it.
Horrible little rat
@Firelork : The protagonist in the original Pokémon manga, Red, had a Clefairy as his first (and main) partner. When adapting the concept to animation, Clefairy was shafted in favour of Pikachu (and many other changes were made in order to make the series more appealling to children and international audiences).
@Firelork but Clefairy is Red's main pokemon in manga series
