alright, so, i just learned that this very small lagomorph named “Pika” exists. although Pikas aren’t actually mice, i’m beginning to think that Pikachu might be, possibly be inspired by them. feel free to correct me if i’m wrong, this is just a dumb theory i felt like sharing. ----[[User:inukoinu.k9|<span style="color:#52D2CA">i n u k o i n u</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:inukoinu.k9|<span style="color:#AF7AC5">talk</span>]])''</small> 03:43, 9 June 2020 (UTC) | alright, so, i just learned that this very small lagomorph named “Pika” exists. although Pikas aren’t actually mice, i’m beginning to think that Pikachu might be, possibly be inspired by them. feel free to correct me if i’m wrong, this is just a dumb theory i felt like sharing. ----[[User:inukoinu.k9|<span style="color:#52D2CA">i n u k o i n u</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:inukoinu.k9|<span style="color:#AF7AC5">talk</span>]])''</small> 03:43, 9 June 2020 (UTC) | ||
:Pikachu is confirmed to have borrowed traits from squirrels and mice, and pikapika is simply Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkling, so it seems the resemblance to the rodent "pika" (pronounced pie-ka) is just a coincidence.
