Pikachu Question

Ever since the first 2 episodes of Pokemon Pikachu has refused to go inside the Pokeball, now that Ash and Pikachu are great friends how come Ash never tried again to get Pikachu back in his pokeball? Does he even have Pikachu's Pokeball anymore?

Well, the reason they became friends is because Pikachu WOULDN'T go in the Pokeball in the first place. Pikachu wouldn't be happy with being shoved inside a Pokeball again, would it? It's like shoving your best friend inside a box. (Well, not quite)

It perfers staying outside though
 
It does have a Pokeball though, in 'Snow Way Out' Ash tried putting Pikachu back into its old one, but it wouldn't because it wanted to stay outside with Ash or something.

The reason is simply because, Pikachu HATES Pokeballs. It's been said so before in the anime.

Ash has never had more than six Pokémon on hand, even when you count Pikachu. That's not the reason why.

What about in the Johto league?

Ash faced Gary with six pokemon and Pikachu was in the stands watching.

Ash knows pikachu's personality now,and pikachu doesn't like staying in a pokeball,so he keeps pikachu out of the pokeball.Well maybe he still has the pokeball,maybe not,but it doen't matter anymore.Pikachu will always be out of the pokeball.

Speaking of Pokeballs of Pikachu, did you guys and girls notice that pikachu's pokeball is a fast ball? I wonder if they planned that....He still does have the ball. Its to prove that pikachu is truly his....
 
Pikachu's not liking Pokéballs is a plot device. If it didn't mind them, then it wouldn't get half the screentime it was. Blame the Kanto writers ;)

The special Pokéball has been seen before, but not frequently. Frankly, I'd say it has about the same chance as the G/S Ball of reappearing.

You mean blame the writers in general, because the writers never changed during each reigon.

I have foiled the joke. 8D

No its not. Pikachu's ball has a little lightning symbol while a fast ball has a big lightning symbol. Anyway, we'll never hear about Pikachu going into its pokeball ever again.

I'm sure Ash still has Pikachu's PokeBall.

You know, I think there will be a time when Pikachu is forced inside his PokeBall for protection. (Ash may have the ball in his room.) Or unless Ash becomes evil all of a sudden and forces Pikachu in it.

But anyway, no, Pikachu may never go back into its PokeBall ever again. (All Professor Oak's fault.)
