Im placing this part here because i want it to be pretty hidden in the description, but still appear in search engines so spoiler warning! Birthday Pikachu being banned is commonly misattributed - i didn't realize it until I started looking into it but birthday pikachu has a pretty weird history!! no competition judge based riots or nothin, just pure, unadultarated, America cant handle fun-ism.


If you see this, you're entitled to one fun trivia fact:
any Pokémon's name, officially, stands as it's own pluralization - it's not "many charmanders" its "many charmander"
