Was there ever a point where Ash's Pikachu could have evolved?

>>27718081
When he was battling the electric gym leader (forget his name.) Ash the chance to evolve pikachu to defeat the gym leader's Raichu but he didn't because "You're perfect the way you are" bullshit.

Episode 14 - "Electric Shock Showdown"
It's on Netflix, go watch it.

Lt. Surge. Are you telling me you forgot a gym leader from Gen I?

>>27718234
yes because not everyone remembers every trainer from gen 1

Pikachu has attitude problems and needs to be put in his place. Ash and Oak should have forced him into the Pokeball when he refused to get out of it the first time.

desu i'd be perfectly fine with it becoming alolan raichu but that'll never happen

>>27718202
>Had the chance
Sorry my bad

>>27718234
Yep, and I just beat him yesterday haha

>>27718202
The entire season 1 was literally just the same old "oh you don't want to evolve? then don't evolve!"- plot over and over again with ashs pokemon.

Two different instances against a Raichu

Surge, with what this anon just said >>27718202

And another during Gen 4, a Raichu hyper beamed Pikachu in the fucking face, and he needed Medical attention

Pikachu and Ash had a fight, and Ash decided to leave a Thunder Stone next to Pikachu to decide for itself but nah

>>27718081
When it refused to do so in EP14. Satoshi never forced him too.

Interestingly, in Pocket Monsters Zensho manga, Pikachu decides to evolve into Raichu on his own, to help Satoshi win the League challenge.
