: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.

I understand that its just speculative and it has no business being in a section about Pikachu's Physiology, but I still found it interesting. [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 02:43, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

:I find it unnotable and not a pattern due to Generation II not adding an Electric rodent. Yes, Pichu is from Gen II, but it's not a separate species.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#025DA6">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#5A96C5">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#EA1A3E">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#F16A81">ire</span>]] 02:48, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
