Please spay and neuter your animals! While your newborn animals are cute, failing to do this allows your little darlings to add to the population of homeless pets. Adopt pets from your local animal rescues, there are plenty of animals just waiting for a home.

I'm pretty sure Pikachu is an electric mouse pokemon. This is a flying squirrel. Emolga, a fifth gen Pokemon, would fit this animal better.

[–]papasuckle55 -1 points0 points ago

not original 151? I don't acknowledge it's existence.

[–]Master7432 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I know. I personally this so as well, but we just have to live with it, I guess.

[–]watchagonnado -3 points-2 points ago

It's just a squirrel!

[–]BobSkelt 1 point2 points ago

No... No, it's not "JUST A SQUIRREL."
