Suggested correction: Agree with the other correction. Dropping details, such as facial features like a nose or mouth, and simplifying character designs is a very common and encouraged drawing/animation technique to imply distance. This isn't something the animators would just overlook. It was a deliberate decision. Ash and Misty similarly look somewhat less detailed than they do in closer shots. At best, this would be a deliberate mistake, but I personally think it falls under the umbrella of "suspension of disbelief" and shouldn't be considered a mistake given it's a stylistic choice to imply distance.

Suggested correction: His nose isn't seen because he is far away from the camera.

Mystery at the Lighthouse - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When the Poké Ball Ash uses for Krabby indicates success, it is at a 22° angle, and there are pieces of wood on the ground, but when Ash goes over to retrieve it, it is at a 45° angle, and the pieces of wood previously on the ground have disappeared. (00:04:49)

Other mistake: When Bill says, "A meaning for all Pokémon, and a meaning all of us humans too," a Sandslash on a screen has an entirely yellow head and has black pupils with white sclerae. Sandslash actually have the lower part of their head coloured cream and have their white pupils with black sclerae. (00:14:01)

Trivia: During the Pokérap that appears after some episodes, nearly all of the Pokémon shown are the actual creatures, but Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Rhydon, Zapdos, and Kabutops that are shown are machines from Pokémon Island. Also, when Kabuto is shown, it isn't actually a Kabuto but Bill in Kabuto's costume.

Answer: There are a lot of fan theories around this, but the most common theme is that Pikachu had another trainer before Prof. Oak, who gave him to Ash. Pikachu didn't appreciate being handed over.

Answer: Well he had just caught him in the wild. Didn't even catch him with a traditional poke ball but like tied him up with a rope. So I would imagine so, yes.

You would imagine yes what? What are you talking about).

Sorry, I misread the question. I thought you were asking "DOES" he dislike Ash, not Why. It's been a while since I've seen the full episode. But from what I recall, Pikachu was wild, and Ash caught him through unconventional means without a pokeball. Tying him up with rope and stuff. So that's a good reason for any animal to not like someone when forced into a captive state in such a way.

That doesn't answer my question.
