Now, a recent episode of\u00a0<strong><em>Pokemon Journeys<\/em><\/strong> finally gives fans some insight as to Pikachu&#8217;s reasoning.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/pokemon\/\">Pokemon Journeys<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>sees Ash travelling with a new companion, Goh, who&#8217;s goal is to catch one of every Pokemon. Along the way, they get into all sorts of problems, but Pikachu remains adamant against evolving.\u00a0Though it wasn&#8217;t necessarily needed, hearing Ash explain Pikachu&#8217;s reluctance to evolve to Goh was a nice touch.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a class=\"bc-title-link\" title=\"Pok\u00e9mon Journeys Part 2 Coming to Netflix Soon\" href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-journeys-netflix-release-date\/\">Pok\u00e9mon Journeys Part 2 Coming to Netflix Soon<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Pokemon\u00a0<\/em>fans had a bit of a scare when it was though <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-journeys-pikachu-evolves-raichu-episode\/\">Ash would evolve Pikachu into Raichu<\/a> after over 20 years of the show avoiding that exact scenario, but it seems it still isn&#8217;t happening. The video clip below sees Ash turn down yet another Thunder Stone for Pikachu, and Goh receiving it instead.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/anime\/comments\/ika4ru\/why_pikachu_doesnt_want_to_evolve_pok%C3%A9mon\/\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This clip makes it abundantly clear that Pikachu doesn&#8217;t want to evolve into a Raichu because he wants to get stronger as a Pikachu. It seems that he knows that evolving would provide him a substantial power boost, but doesn&#8217;t think it is necessary. To be fair, <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-eevee-funko-pop\/\">Pokemon evolution is a drastic change<\/a> for a Pokemon to undergo, so it&#8217;s understandable that Pikachu would be hesitant and outright against the idea. After two other Pikachus express their desire to remain in their forms, Ash continues on to say that Pokemon should evolve when they want to.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, commenters point out that the real reason is probably because Pikachu is the face of the franchise.\u00a0<em>Pokemon\u00a0<\/em>just wouldn&#8217;t be the same if every new anime had Ash and Raichu going on adventures, but having an in canon explanation is nice. Some fans have noticed that Pikachus in the anime have historically avoided evolution, indicating that perhaps Pikachus as a species don&#8217;t voluntarily evolve often. This could be backed up by the fact that they require a Thunder Stone to evolve, meaning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/pokemon-journeys-pikachu-evolve-raichu-leak\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most wild Pikachus never will become Raichus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, it seems Ash&#8217;s Pikachu has avoided this fate once again, and the iconic duo will continue on their quest to become <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemonmastersex-twitter-trend\/\">Pokemon Masters<\/a>.\u00a0Goh did eventually use the Thunder Stone to evolve his own Pikachu, so at least Raichu will finally get some solid representation in the anime now.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pokemon Journeys\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is available to watch now.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE:\u00a0<a class=\"bc-title-link\" title=\"Pokemon Journeys Episode Censors Character\" href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-journeys-episode-censor-character\/\">Pokemon Journeys Episode Censors Character<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Pokemon Journeys finally explains why Ash&#8217;s Pikachu doesn&#8217;t want to evolve into a Raichu, and the answer is actually rather simple.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":136,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Pokemon Journeys Anime Explains Why Pikachu Doesn't Want to Evolve to Raichu - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"Pokemon Journeys finally explains why Ash's Pikachu doesn't want to evolve into a Raichu, and the answer is actually rather simple."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66735"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/136"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66735"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66735\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":66766,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66735\/revisions\/66766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
