In 2008 Japanese scientists discovered a new protein and gave it a Pokémon-themed name. What was that name?
Answer Pikachurin
With Pokémon becoming a significant part of Japanese pop culture it was not surprising that Japanese scientists named a new discovery after a popular character. It was named after Pikachu because the protein is known for it's speed and agility, just like Pikachu.
