Hundreds of years ago, the bright yellow fur of a Pikachu used to be considered a sign that the trainer was fortunate or noble, so many royal families used to own them by the dozen. This is the reasoning for so many old coins having Pikachus printed on them, as well as an explanation for the many circle-cheeked “pikamon” that became domesticated in that time.

Pachirisu (EleSquirrel Pokémon), Emolga (Sky Squirrel Pokémon) and Togedemaru (Roly-Poly Pokémon) are all believed to be descendants of a a now-extinct squirrel-like breed of Pikachu. Their white fur and yellow cheeks were considered a sign of the trainers purity, and old scriptures often compare them to angels.

The only non-extinct pikamons to still truly be in the pika genus are the Pawmi family, categorised by how they’ve retained their ability to evolve. Paldea was one of the only regions not to be involved with the mass Pikachu breeding craze of ‘25, hence how they’ve adapted and evolved to the climate more naturally.

Have there been any papers on the reason for the sudden split into psycic typing within the pika line? As far as I'm aware there nearly no reason for it

People believe it's due to Alola's warmer climate, the regions culture and the food it eats. Morpeko and Dedenne developed secondary typings for similar reasons, and diet plays a surprisingly big part in a species' evolution and behavior.

We're still not sure which part made them become psychic specifically, though. Evolution is weird.

they’re so important
