If Ash bonded with his Greninja that he had for one generation, but he won't
use it anymore, why haven't Pokémon like Pikachu or Tauros bond with Ash
instead?

Why is Greninja Ash's only bonded Pokémon?


In the same way that not every pokemon has a [Mega
Evolution](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mega_Evolution) the only
pokemon known to have the bond ability so far is the
[Greninja](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ash%27s_Greninja).

True that by now we can believe that Pikachu and Ash have maximum trust, one
of the requirements for the [Bond
phenomena](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bond_Phenomenon) to happen.

But that might not be the only requirement, or Pikachu species does not have
this bond ability.

It remains to be shown further if other pokemon than Greninja have that
ability or not.
