Why species in the infobox left as just "Pokémon"? Shouldn't it be "Mouse" or something like "Pokémon (mouse)". Although the character was based on squirrel. ~2026-97234-9 (talk) 22:57, 12 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done. It's not clear what changes you want to make. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:38, 12 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Pikachu is not a mouse

Pikachu is actually a pika, which is actually not even a rodent. Pikas, while rodent-like, are related to rabbits. ~2026-15799-59 (talk) 04:03, 13 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
