Red’s Pikachu Was Modeled After Ash’s Companion

In Pokémon Yellow, Red’s Pikachu is designed to mirror Ash’s Pikachu from the anime. It refuses to evolve and follows the player around instead of staying in its Poké Ball.

This design choice helped bridge the gap between the anime and the game, making Yellow version feel like you were living Ash’s story.
