If you're planning to get a Mareep or a Pikachu to fight Faulkner's bird Pokémon you'll be discouraged to hear that these Pokémon are only obtainable after he's defeated. The route south of Violet City leads to several patches of grass and a kind of lake, there you can find Mareep. Pikachu, on the other hand, I believe is only obtainable at the Safari Zone... Or something like that, anyway, catch Mareep, is way better.

you can't, its only possible to catch him in Pokemon silver and gold on route 6
Catch a Pikachu, which you can find on Route 2, and use a Thunderstone on it.
no Mareep can only be found in silver and gold so it must be traded. You can get Mareep in Routes 32, 42 and 43 in the other games so..
You have to catch two pikachu. Make sure they are opposite genders. Then you put them both in the day care center at Goldenrod City, and they will breed and create a pichu. Also you can breed any Pokemon with a Ditto including pikachu
Pikachu is not available as a starter in the Gold version. he is only available in the Yellow version only.
