Talk:Pikachu (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

I noticed that the part in the Physiology section about how Pikachu may be related to Emolga, Pachurisu, Plusle, Minun, Marill, and Maccinno was removed. While its deletion was logical considering this theory has nothing to do with Pikachu's physical appearance, can we at least add that to the trivia section? I feel it's worth noting.

:I removed it because I don't feel physical comparisons between Pokemon that aren't canonically related are noteworthy. I'm {{tt|hesitantly in favor|because there's precedent with the early route fodder Pokemon - Rattata etc.}} of grouping together the so-called Pikachu clones that are clearly made for marketing purposes (Pikachu, Plusle/Minun, Pachirisu, and to {{tt|a lesser extent|because it breaks the pattern because it's part Flying}} Emolga), but Marill and Cinccino have no business being grouped there at all unless we're going to mention [[List of Pokémon by body style|every Pokemon with a similar body style]] on every Pokemon page, which would be ridiculous. Also, I object to the way it was phrased ("related to"/"distantly related to") because it's inherently speculatory and suggests a degree of genetic similarity that has no canonical suggestion of even existing in the Pokemon universe, much less being possible between these particular families.
