I was bummed that I found out about the trick to get Pikachu as a starter pokemon only after I was past that point (not that it matters, cuz you never use the starters by the time you can access the gyms anyway).

People online speculated that you had to look for him near Power Stations, Science Museums, etc.. but I had seen his silhouette in the tracker numerous times in my suburban neighborhood where none of those types of locations exist. But I've found using the tracker is an exercise in futility so I gave up. Then yesterday in the later afternoon, I was killing time hanging with friends at a local bar, not a single pokestop or gym in sight on the map. So I was burning incense to lure pokemon while I sit back and relax. About 20 minutes into my beer Pikachu wanders in (the one time I wish I had AR turned on so I could grab a really cool pic of him on the bar-top), and I nab him.



Of course, it'll probably be ages before I earn enough Pikachu Candy to make him worthwhile.

I got one by the south restrooms at Hampton Beach NH, across from Bernie's Beach Bar.
