Anyone think it is time for Pikachu to learn a new move? It has been over 200 episodes and Electro Ball is essentially worthless coupled with Thunder Bolt (which shouldn't go away). I personally wish Volt Tackle wouldn't have gone away, but it would be nice to see a new move.
Knock Off would be cool, but it may not have much use in the anime. Signal Beam might also be interesting or maybe even Fake Out. Pikachu's moveset is pretty limited, but of course with the anime and Ash's Pikachu anything is possible. Other potential moves could be disarming voice (it is a weak move, but Anime sometimes makes weak moves look better and Ash's team has no Fairy attacks) or maybe a more defensive move since Ash has made some strides in strategy back to his DP days such as Light Screen, protect, wish, etc. (although these wouldn't be as exciting).
Maybe they would even let Pikachu learn a move that is only usable by the cosplay Pikachu, like maybe learning how to use flying press from Hawlucnha (could be an interesting couple of episodes). I also really enjoy those episodes where a Pokemon learns a new move from some expert, such as Pikachu and Iron Tail, Swallow and Aerial Ace, Glalie and Ice Beam, Staraptor and Brave Bird, Buizel and Ice Punch, etc.
I get the feeling that the Anime will probably wait until a new move comes a long that is really impressive before changing Pikachu's moves (although I don't think Electro Ball really fits that mold). Anyway, how does everyone else feel about this topic?
