Pokémon legends: Arceus gives Pikachu a family

Have you ever noticed that there are many electric rodents in the world of Pokémon? The reason for the many Pikachu clones now provides an interesting entry in the Pokédex of Legends: Arceus.

• Pikachu officially has a cousin
• What does that mean for other Pikachu clones?

Pikachu officially has a cousin

Pokémon legends: Arceus currently maintains the Pokémon community not only with its veritable so-called, the players and players to catch every Pokémon of the Hisui region.

Also the action and Easter Eggs, like well-known characters from diamond and pearl, are currently heating the discussions around the game. Now a player has even found even more conversation in a pokéex entry. And in the description text to Pachirisu, it is related to Pikachu. (Source: Reddit)

What does that mean for other Pikachu clones?

So is that the reason for the many Pikachu clones? As you know, in every new generation, there is also a new rodder of type electron: Pachirisu, Plusle & Minun, Emolga, Dedenne, Togedemaru and Morpeko. They all fall into the same electro rodent diagram and keep, like Pikachu, their original names in all languages ​​.

So far, it has been simply assumed that Game Freak had to pay homage to its mascot with every new generation or creating a similarly popular monster like Pikachu. Apparently there is more behind - if Pachirisu is related to Pikachu, then are all electric rodents together?

If so, will we eventually get a legendary Pokémon to the rodent family? A kind of ur-pikachu, from which the mentioned pocket monsters descend? Or are the Pokédex entries merely an interpretation of Professor Laven, which is therefore not necessarily truthful ? Maybe these questions are clarified in the upcoming "Pokémon legends" games.

_Also the puzzle of doppelgans in legends: Arceus there are no concrete answers from Game Freak. But it is probably around the ancestors of known Pokémon trainers. Did you all recognize you when playing? _
