As you might have noticed, every Pikachu since generation 1 has lost some weight. The newest incarnation is rather slim and fast, whilst in the past they where chubby. They all owe this to Lt. Surge's special training. No one really knows the secret, only Pikachus, but we're unable to talk to them now and ask them about this, so we'll have to wait for this secret to be lifted.

Look through the sprite art for each generation, they did lose weight.

It's to keep up with the times. As technology got better the sprite art could be more detailed. The current Pikachu sprite wouldn't fit into the original sprite data. Also it's larger if you'd compare both sprites next to each other (I think)

That would only cencerne Ash's Pikachu. All the other ones went through Lt. Surges training though.

Pikachus are hardcore. They evolved from the masochistic Pichu (From the Pokédex entries it reads, that Pichu harms itself whenever it uses electric attacks.)

it doesnt make sense for an electric pokemon to harm itself with its own electricity

Platinum: The electric sacs in its cheeks are small. If even a little electricity leaks, it becomes shocked.
I own the silver edition in german. It is stated there that it shocks itself whilst using electric attacks, but I can't find the entry online just yet...

The only job I would get would be Pokémon Trainer, but alas it's only possible with the DS portal.
