I've heard you can start with pikachu in pokemon go instead of the 3 standard starters. How would one do this? Is this even possible?

After digging deeper it seems you can in fact start with pikachu in Pokémon Go.
Reddit post "You can get pikachu as your starter pokémon"
You need to walk away from the three starters in the beginning of the game, just like in the animé. After you walk away from them 4? Times, Pikachu will show up.

4Is the Pikachu any more powerful than the other 3 starters? I got a Charmander with 12 CP. How many CP does the starter Pikachu have? Not that it really matters, your not going to battle with a 10-12 CP anyway... – Chris Jul 09 '16 at 13:35

@Chris I got Pikachu as a starter and he had 10 CP (and still has), so, no, not really more powerful than the other 3 starters. – Alf Sep 08 '16 at 19:39

You can! Walk away from the original starters four or five times and then a Pikachu will show up along with them (though not on its own as I originally thought, so be on the lookout)!
Happy hunting!
