It is a very broad sound symbolism for sparkle - from ''daiya-ga pikapika hikaru'' (diamonds sparkle) to ''pikapika-no kagu'' (well-polished furniture), from ''hoshi-ga pikapika hikaru'' (stars twinkle) to ''pikapika-no ichinensei'' (not even going to try to figure this one out). I suppose it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to say "gold shines" using ''pikapika''. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]<sub>[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]</sub> 14:48, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC) | It is a very broad sound symbolism for sparkle - from ''daiya-ga pikapika hikaru'' (diamonds sparkle) to ''pikapika-no kagu'' (well-polished furniture), from ''hoshi-ga pikapika hikaru'' (stars twinkle) to ''pikapika-no ichinensei'' (not even going to try to figure this one out).

''pikapika-no ichinensei''. Gah, I never wanted to hear that again. One company uses that almost like a motto in every one of their rather annoying ads. They're probably in some of the old encodes I did. --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 01:13, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||

Dude, Pikachu looks *nothing* like a pika. Seriously.
It does in pictures I saw in National Geographic...LedianX 05:46, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Not in any pictures I've ever seen. Pikas look more like nutrias to me.
Regarding the name origin, I've been told that pikapika is an "expression for the brightness of gold", not simply just meaning sparkle. Can someone confirm? --Archaic 13:26, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

pikapika-no ichinensei. Gah, I never wanted to hear that again. One company uses that almost like a motto in every one of their rather annoying ads. They're probably in some of the old encodes I did. --Archaic 01:13, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
