Best use of that meme I’ve ever seen
I didn’t know that Pikachu was a pika… I thought it was the only starter whose name was really random! My life has been a lie
Yeah, why did I always hear him referred to as an “electric mouse”?
Pika is also the Japanese onomatopoeia for spark
Man video games seem way more creative when I don’t understand the language
Yeach superheroes were much cooler before i knew spiderman literally meant spider-man. Sounded way more cool and american before i knew english properly.
LMAO oh no. I forgot it worked in reverse.
I think it is supposed to be a mouse (Meowth of Team Rocket being a cat chasing a mouse btw), but I’m pretty sure its name is still a reference to pikas.
Pikas don’t have tails so that doesn’t really fit for an origin of Pikachu’s design. I think the name is a coincidence.
Then let me blow your mind by telling you that “chu” is an old-timey Chinese word for “tail”, which is a fact I completely made up just now but wouldn’t that be cool!
The tail just shows what element it is. That probably just added it cuz it’s cute
