Pikachu Re-Volts - S2-E5

Character mistake: The name of the island Ash and friends visited in the previous episode, is called "Mikan", which is Japanese for orange. As such, it should be pronounced as "mee-khan." However, the narrator pronounces the name as "mike-an" instead. (00:01:10)

The Crystal Onix - S2-E6

Character mistake: Mateo orders his Charmeleon to use Ember against Crystal Onix but it uses Fire Spin instead. [It is yet another result of mistranslation. In the original version he orders Charmeleon to use Fire Spin.]. (00:18:42)

Tracey Gets Bugged - S2-E16

Character mistake: Misty is notoriously afraid of bugs. She makes this clear whenever bugs are around. She seems to be OK with Tracey's Venonat, but for some reason doesn't think it should be classified as a bug, when its type is Bug/Poison, and it's quite obvious that "Venonat" comes from "venom gnat, " a gnat being an insect. She even directly states that "At least they're [Venonat and Marill] not Bug types." [This error doesn't happen in the Japanese version.]. (00:03:19)

Show generally

Other mistake: During the Pokérap, when the Poliwrath name is said, the Pokémon shown is actually Poliwag. Also, when the Graveler name is said, the Pokémon shown is actually Geodude.

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.
