Why has Pikachu never evolved?

As a person who has always liked watching Poké mon since childhood, this question is not easy to answer, because there is no clear explanation in the cartoon why Pikachu has not evolved, so I will analyze it according to my own understanding of watching this animation.

One: Pikachu himself doesn't like evolution.

Although this explanation seems to be deceptive, it is indeed possible. Pikachu first appeared in the first episode of the animation, and met Xiao Zhi as a "problematic" elf. Because Xiao Zhi was late, he didn't get one of Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle.

Then, while following Xiao Zhiting, Raichu couldn't beat Pikachu's powerful evolutionary form. Xiao Zhi actually gave Pikachu a thunderstone at this time, but Pikachu got rid of the thunderstone and expressed the idea of not wanting to evolve. Then, he conducted special training with Xiao Zhi, and finally surpassed the evolutionary form and defeated Raichu.

So Pikachu itself doesn't want to evolve. Xiaozhi chose to respect Pikachu's idea, so naturally he won't force Pikachu to evolve into Raichu.

Two: Because Pikachu is so popular, the official decided not to let Pikachu in Xiao Zhi evolve.

This should actually be the real reason. As we all know, Pokémon, as a super popular game and animation, is well known to the world. There are many elves in MengMeng, such as frogs, fire-breathing dragons and wind dogs. As a symbol of Poké mon, Pikachu is more popular.

According to online news, the official Nintendo of Poké mon originally planned to take Pippi as the main character, but Pikachu was so popular that it gave up.

This is easy to understand. Personally, as a huge fan of Poké mon, I like Pikachu very much. My mantra is "Go! Pikachu ". Moreover, Pikachu, as an animated series of Poké mon, is also the only elf who has traveled with Xiao Zhi to the present, which naturally explains Pikachu's popularity.

In fact, if Poké mon is put into the present, Pikachu will never evolve again. Evolution means a new form. In the game, Pikachu seems to have evolved into Raichu, but he is still the Pikachu. But in the eyes of our audience, Pikachu has evolved into Raichu, with a different name, a different appearance and everything changed. Where can he be our favorite Pikachu?

Nintendo naturally knows this truth, and it is difficult to establish an image to let the world know. Who will change easily? Just like Super Mario, Super Mario will not change the setting that he is a plumber who loves to wear suspenders. Pikachu in Xiao Zhi will not evolve into Raichu that we don't know.
