Pikachu (ピカチュウ) is a Pokémon introduced in the first generation of Pokémon, Pokémon Red and Blue (ポケットモンスター 赤・緑 Pocket Monsters Red & Green, originally). It evolves from Pichu, and into Raichu via a Thunder Stone.
Being the mascot of the Pokémon franchise, Pikachu has been given an overwhelming amount of merchandise, to say the least. Nearly all sets of toys, keychains, figures and plush have included a Pikachu, and he features on most other items in some way.
