Legends Pokémon Arceus taking place in the past of this universe that we know well, it is then stuffed with small references and sympathetic explanations on the current world of Pokémon. At the start of the game, Professor Lavender tells us, for example, that it’s not the PokéBalls that are able to reduce the size of pocket monsters but indeed the Pokémon that have the power to shrink to get inside! And if you check your Pokédex in-game, you’ll see that each page is a veritable gold mine.
The Secret of Pikachu’s Genealogy
If you’re a Pokemon fan, you’ve probably noticed that each generation has a mascot identical to Pikachu. The latter being the star of the first games and the anime, Game Freak decided to pay homage to him in each of the following games. Thus, in 2G we find the baby Pichu, in 3G the duo Posipi and Négapi, in 4G the adorable Pachirisu, in 5G the little Emolga, in 6G the hamster Dedenne, in 7G the hedgehog Togedemaru and in 8G, on Sword and Shield , we were treated to Morpeko.
In short, you will have understood it, we will obviously have a variant of Pikachu in 9G with Pokémon Scarlet and Purple. In the meantime, Pokémon Legends Arceus will have answered a question that many trainers have asked themselves over the years: are all these creatures simple references to the mascot Pikachu or do they really have a “DNA” link with him? ?
On Reddita player then realized that Pachirisu’s Pokédex Page taught us more about his genealogy and therefore that of Pikachu. In French, it says “This species is closely related to the Pikachu.” and in English, the translation rather reads “A species related to the line of Pikachu”. The Internet user therefore assumes that the “lineage” refers to a biological link between Pikachu and Pachirisu (and therefore all the other mascots of the generations).
What if the famous “Pikachu clones” were actually its descendants or other forms of the electric mouse?
