*Pikachu is the only playable Pokémon in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to have a visible gender difference. Male Pikachu look like the one in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, while females have a heart shape at the tip of their tail. However, gender differences in the ''Pokémon'' series were introduced in {{s|bulbapedia|Generation IV}}, which debuted well after ''SSB'' and ''Melee'' did. As a result, and because its [[alternate costume]]s include hats commonly worn by male characters, the Pikachu in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is commonly perceived as male. In addition, ''Ultimate'' gave it two distinctly female variants via alternate costumes. Even so, Pikachu is not listed under a specific gender, as Nintendo and its affiliates primarily use gender-neutral pronouns for all Pokémon, no matter a species' appearance/gender ratio or lack thereof. | *Pikachu is the only playable Pokémon in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to have a visible gender difference.

*Pikachu is the only character to have only four alternate costumes in the first three ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. It has eight alternate costumes in ''SSB4'', just like every other character aside from [[Little Mac]] and the [[Mii Fighter]]s. | *Pikachu is the only character to have only four alternate costumes in the first three ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.
