Pikachu roughly translates "electric mouse" or more accurately "shock mouse" Pika is slang for static electric shock, and chu is short for Chu Chu, which is slang for mouse. Chu Chu Rocket (game on Dreamcast and GBA), and Chu Chus (motorized bombs in Zelda 64) are other examples.

Unfortunately the phonetic language didn't come into common use until just recently, favoring the charactergrams, however there are forms of it that are extremely old.
