Post-release

Pokémon

Eternal Flower Floette remains in the code of the Generation VII games. It has its own Pokédex entry in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Additionally, there are menu sprites for Cosplay Pikachu, Spiky-eared Pichu, and Eternal Flower Floette, though none of them are available in-game. Pichu, in particular, is notable because up to this point, even in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, she shared a menu sprite with typical Pichu.
