Since Pokemon GO mainly consists of first generation of Pokemon, players are given the choice between Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander. Having a good first Pokemon is important, and many want to catch Pikachu in the beginning. People started walking into police stations, one girl stumbled across a floating body and malware copies of the game were created to take control of people’s phones, all with the aim to catch ’em all. “It really appeals to exactly our audience which is families with kids, young adults who played Pokemon when they were kids who are participating in this at a insane level and then people who are doing it with their kids also”.

Ready to see what all the Pokemon Go hype is about?
If you’ve already started the game and you didn’t get Pikachu, don’t worry – he does appear later on in the game, in shopping centers and out of 2km eggs. We all know that when you do start the game, you are given choices for your first Pokemon, and Pikachu is usually not in those choices. These starters relocate to your location and appear again.

Let’s get you that Pikachu. After you have done this at least four times or more, you will also see Pikachu alongside the three starters. Tap Pikachu and toss your Pokeballs to capture him, and the other three Pokemon will disappear. However, note that electric Pokemon are rare now in the game, so Pikachu is a very powerful Pokemon for you in that aspect as it can easily beat water Pokemon with an electric shock.
