Pokédex Entries
English
Pikachu - Mouse Pokémon
Whenever PIKACHU comes across something new, it blasts it with a jolt of electricity. If you come across a blackened berry, it's evidence that this POKéMON mistook the intensity of its charge.
French
Pikachu - Pokémon Souris
Chaque fois que PIKACHU découvre quelque chose de nouveau, il envoie un arc électrique. Lorsqu'on tombe sur une BAIE carbonisée, ça signifie sans doute qu'un de ces POKéMON a envoyé une charge trop forte.
German
Pikachu - Maus
Immer wenn PIKACHU auf etwas Neues stößt, jagt es einen Elektroschock hindurch. Wenn du eine verkohlte Beere findest, hat dieses POKéMON seine elektrische Ladung falsch eingeschätzt.
Spanish
Pikachu - Pokémon Ratón
Cada vez que PIKACHU se encuentra con algo nuevo, le lanza una sacudida eléctrica. Si ves alguna BAYA chamuscada, seguro que ha sido PIKACHU; a veces no controla la intensidad de la descarga.
Italian
Pikachu - Pokémon Topo
Quando PIKACHU incontra qualcosa che non conosce, lo colpisce con una scarica elettrica. Quando si vede una bacca annerita, è evidente che questo POKéMON ha emesso una scossa troppo forte.
Japanese
ピカチュウ (PIKACHUU) - ねずみポケモン (NezumiPOKEMON)
はじめて みる ものには でんげきを あてる。 くろこげの きのみが おちていたら それは でんげきの つよさを まちがえた しょうこだよ。 (Hajimete miru mononiha dengekiwo ateru. Kurokogeno kinomiga ochiteitara soreha dengekino tsuyosawo machigaeta shoukodayo. )
