Pikachu may need a translator to be able to understand you properly, or that it has to be transformed into a nice soap dispenser for us to wash our hands these days, but perhaps we do not know that Pikachu didn't need any help to fly, at least not from other creatures or humans.
So the Flying pikachu surrounded by colored helium balloons
first appeared in the Pokémon Yellow intro (image similar to the one you will see below these lines) and, although we assume that in principle no one assigned a real existence to this creatureIt was a simple and nice artistic concept to introduce us to Pikachu in several of its fun facets. However, in 2001, the game Pokémon Trading Card Game included it as a promotional letter with the ability to fly.
This very special Pikachu also reached be distributed at special events
, to appear in the Yellow Forest of the Pokéwalker or to make an appearance in games like Pokémon Snap. Undoubtedly, this electric mouse surrounded by balloons could have gone a long way in the competition and even given Zapdos some shade, because if it had been Electric / Flying, would have given even more war than the original Pikachu himself.
