Pikachu has not had a starring role in any of the main games in the series since then, but it has been featured in every prominent hand-held RPG since the franchise, usually bringing something new with it each time. In ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Silver]]'', released for the Game Boy Color in 2000, Pikachu gained a new evolutionary phase in the form of [[Pichu]]. It also gained an item called the Light Ball, which doubled Pikachu's Special Attack when held. However the item was only obtainable when trading a Pikachu over from the ''Yellow'' version. The [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Emerald Version|''Emerald'' version]] of ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire Versions|the Game Boy Advance games]]'' gave Pikachu an Egg Move exclusive to it and its family, called [[Volt Tackle]], which was an exceptionally powerful Electric-attack with a large recoil. The [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' versions]] of the DS title introduced cosmetic differences between genders for certain species of Pokémon, and Pikachu was one of them, with the females having a dent at the end of their tail. The Light Ball also gained a new feature in this game - allowing both Pikachu's normal and Special Attacks to be doubled.

Pikachu has also been in virtually every Pokémon-related spin-off game ever released, sometimes as the star or a main character, and other times just featured among the hundreds of other Pokémon in the series. Notable Pikachu-centric games include ''Hey You, Pikachu!'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], where the player could talk to Pikachu using the microphone, ''Pokémon Channel'', which is usually regarded as a spiritual sequel to the previous title, ''PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure'' that has Pikachu as the main character and the ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games, where Pikachu is one of the Pokémon that the player can start out as. Pikachu has also been made into a Tamagotchi-style virtual pet called the ''Pocket Pikachu'', which was a little LCD device that owners can clip onto their belt. Whenever the user took a step, it would register on the system, which would give Pikachu points in the form of "watts". It is described as quadrupedal.
