The Real Life ‘Pika-Chu’
‘The Pika (pronounced ‘pie-ka’) may look like a hamster, but is actually a cousin of the rabbit.’
Of course, “Pikachu” is a portmanteau of the words, pika, meaning to spark or meaning a sparkle of lightning in the Japanese language, and “chū”, an onomatopoeia in the Japanese language for the squeak made by a mouse. It seems pure coincidence that Pikachu and the Pika bear so much resemblence - or it may just be a third level of cleverness on the japanese creators’ part.’
Very cute.
And very annoying.

I tell you what’s cuter…the little pixel version of your head. Look at the little head! HEED. MOVE! What is up, Jay?
What is up?
That’s the whitest thing you’ve ever said.
