Pikachu (SSB)

Line 246:

*Most of Pikachu's static and electric effects are rendered in 2D due to technical limitations.

*In the Japanese version, Pikachu is the only character ranked first in the tier list to have a disadvantageous matchup (against Captain Falcon).

*Pikachu, along with Jigglypuff, are technically the first two playable characters in ''Smash'' to actually be neutral characters rather than either heroes or villains. This is most likely due to the fact that unlike the human characters in ''~~Pokemon~~'', the Pokémon themselves do not have any sense of morality, and therefore do not belong in either alignment, instead willingly choosing to side with whatever alignment said humans are on~~, even villains~~.

*Pikachu, along with Jigglypuff, are also the first two playable characters in ''Smash'' whose actual genders are never revealed. (as with all other playable Pokémon characters except for Mewtwo, who is technically genderless due to it being a legendary, up until the introduction of the Pokémon Trainer in ''Brawl'') This is most likely due to the fact that the first game was released long before the concept of genders was introduced in the ''Pokémon'' games proper, explaining why Samus is the only truly female character in that game, as well as the reason why all Pokémon are referred via gender-neutral pronouns such as "it" regardless of said Pokémon's actual gender.
