I think its tied to rank as well, on the (you need an account to see links) for them it says "** Pikachu is available for the newbie rank, but you'll need to rank up if you want to collect the rest! **"
Maybe its not available until Top CK rank?

The Pokémon Master userbars are tied to ranks in a sense. Userbars are tied to a mechanic in vBulletin called user groups. vBulletin has a system for automatically awarding user group access to users based on criteria like amount of posts, reputation and/or account age, but there's one additional requirement: your primary user group. Your rank is also your primary user group. In order to qualify to be awarded access to a new user group, we had to map each primary user group (rank) to every other user group that you'd most likely be able to reach within a given set of parameters. If we didn't happen to map an awarded user group to one of the five ranks, then you're effectively disqualified from unlocking that user group's userbar until you rank-up.
TL;DR if you're not unlocking a certain Pokémon Master userbar, then it's restricted by rank.

@(you need an account to see links) Would these be good candidates for lines under "Extra information about retired (and non-retired) userbars:" in the first post?That's correct. Blastoise, Charizard, Latios and Latias, and Suicune all require top clraik or higher to unlock. As do other post-related userbars of similar value.
