i love that in the show you almost exclusively see them around each other or other children/teens so they look normal sized and then sometimes it just zooms out and they're surrounded by adults and it's like omg wait they're tiny?!?!?
Did you know Pikachu has a surprisingly consistent “language” in the anime and fans have decoded what many of his “Pika” variations actually mean?
• “Pikapi” = Ash
• “Pikachu-Pi” = Misty
• “Pika-Chu” = Brock or Axew
• “Pikaka” = Dawn
• “PiPiPi” = Togepi
• “PikakaPika” = Bulbasaur
• “PikaPika” = Squirtle and several other Pokémon
• “PiPi-kachu” = Team Rocket
• “Pi-Pikachu” = Victory cheer (“I did it!”) said after winning badges, catching Pokémon, etc.
• “Pika-Pikachu” = Referring to or introducing itself
• “Chaa” = Happy/excited sound or yawning
• “Pika!” = “Wait!”
• “Pi-kaPika” = “Goodbye”
• “Piiika-Chuuuuuu!” = Thunderbolt
• Other move calls like “Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika, Chuuu Pii!” for Electro Ball are also consistent
Ikue Ōtani has voiced Pikachu for 25+ years and has kept these exact speech patterns remarkably consistent across thousands of episodes.
Note: While these patterns are very consistent and repeatable in the anime, this is not an officially confirmed full language by Game Freak or The Pokémon Company. Team Rocket once called it “Pika-speak” in a single episode, but these meanings are fan-decoded interpretations based on context and repetition rather than official canon.
He actually does.
The whole movie is about him being shunned/bullied by his friends (who also bullied her) and everyone else.
He grows up, develops social anxiety and wants to kill himself because he hates himself that much for the way he treated her. Only not going through with it because he wants to make it up to her, even though they were actual middle schoolers when this occurred.
He learns sign language, helps her sister and practically dedicates himself to her, and the entire message is a beautiful one. That you can always atone for what you've done and anyone is capable of change and becoming a better person.
How ironic that message is lost on Twitter users.
