I read everywhere that this animal (may have) inspired Pikachu... But I think this is crap. Pikachu is named Pikachu only because it's a mouse who does electricity / pika pika (to sparkle in japanese) and because mouses do "chu" for the japanese.　Someone said that... And everybody is following. Or is there a real source?

Also, yes, I'm alive! Just have nothing to say.

I wonder what its name in Portuguese is.
