Supplemental context
The source selects the television series, not the games, trading cards or the entire franchise. Its original Ash and Pikachu focus describes a particular long-running part of that screen history.

Creator/community: OLM animation teams; TV Tokyo and production collaborators Place/era: Japan; animated television series beginning in 1997
