Just seen these images on twitter, interesting shots regarding this episode

I feel sorry for that other Pikachu... he/she was just making a kind offer: thunderstones are costly, rare and these Pikachu are tirelessly finding them, and the instinct of this Pikachu is to give away this hard earned item to a total stranger? Only for said stranger to become suddenly aggressive.God he looks so mad
Maybe. There was an instance in season 1 of Clefairy carrying Moon Stone pieces and not evolving. But that might've just been early installment weirdness and this stone is just covered.Maybe the Pokemon needs to willingly absorb the Stone's energy to evolve, and want to evolve in the first place?
Why not? The last episode where this was a central plot point was over ten years ago. It's good to reiterate it for the newer audience members.Because we totally needed another episode to emphasize Pikachu's refusal to evolve. /s
It’s such a famous thing by now that most people probably know, not to mention the fact that the viewers are reminded of the episode where it happened in the Visquez episode. It’s just repetitive (and it’s annoying to have so many episodes where your favourite Pokemon is turned into an asshole just to validate the protagonist). We don’t need so many episodes to validate just a single choice. There have been Ash’s Pokemon they didn’t evolve with no explanations before so it isn’t even a major issue.Why not?

Even if this is the obligatory reminder for this season that Ash’s Pikachu doesn’t want to evolve, I’m sure that hopefully as far as Pikachu focused episodes are concerned it’ll be better compared to...We were gonna get an evolution-stone-centric episode eventually (though I wouldn’t be surprised if we get another for Eevee down the line). I’m sure there will be some asshole Pikachu in the bunch but there will probably be some nice ones as well, like the one Goh is gonna catch. I’m guessing that choosing not to evolve is still a relatively rare and unusual opinion amongst Pokémon.
I’d like to see Pikachu’s refusal to evolve inspire other Pikachu that don’t want to evolve to stick up for themselves.
Dude... I don't even... I give up.Maybe that his father Raichu came home after a few berries, and electrocuted the family, making pikachu mother run away. Pikachu left as well, and refuses to evolve, never wanting to even remotely resemble his dad.
Later, Go cathes a Raichu, and it's Pikachu's dad. He has been in berry rehab and has done fine so far, it hasn't visited Oranguru's in a while. It even has the 2 years clean pecha berry.
It was meant as a jokeDude... I don't even... I give up.

and then Satoshi's Pikachu finally evolves into a Raichu as well thanks to a "Thunderstone" discovered by a very obliging female Pikachu?!
