Trivia

  • He shares his name with Ash Ketchum from the Pokémon anime. However, he is based on Red, not Ash, so his name actually comes from the optional names from the game. A similar situation applies to Shigeru, Satoshi's rival and Haruka from Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪.
  • Satoshi suffers a complete loss to Shigeru in their second rematch; despite the comic being based almost entirely on the games, this situation actually runs counter to them, because, in the games, victory is necessary to proceed.
  • Unlike Ash's Pikachu, Satoshi's Pikachu voluntarily uses a Thunderstone on itself in order to evolve into Raichu; this is in preparation for the battles against the Elite Four.
    • Satoshi is Red's only counterpart to own a Pikachu, and permanently evolve it into Raichu.
