Other mistake: When Ash and friends are first seen when a Ghost Pokémon laughs, the base on Pikachu's tail is missing. (00:07:47)
The Ninja Poke-Showdown - S1-E32
Other mistake: When the floor in the slanted room tilts, Ash and his friends tilt, but the trapdoor does not. (00:15:19)
Other mistake: When the camera pans across the Pikachu when they are surprised, one of them is missing its cheek pouches while another is missing its left one. (00:03:06)
The March of the Exeggutor Squad - S1-E41
Other mistake: The Pokemon Exeggcute is shown evolving in to an Exeggutor naturally. But the Pokemon Exeggcute can only evolve into an Exeggutor with the use of a leaf stone. In the Japanese version, there is a mention that something in these woods causes Exeggcute to evolve without using the Leaf Stone (when Exeggcute evolves, James even mentions that there is no stone). However, as this was skipped in the English version, it creates a plot hole.
Other mistake: When Pikachu's pain increases, his nose is missing. (00:01:51)
Other mistake: When Todd says Ash and his friends are on time, his camera is in front of them despite him hiding from the side. (00:13:09)
Other mistake: Assunta's Ivysaur attacks Sparky too early, before the battle even started, not to mention Assunta haven't given it any commands during the battle.
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.
