>>56932790You see, just like Acerola, Pikala has the chill cat face and dresses as a Pokemon. It's even more fitting that their mains are Pikachu and Mimikyu. But since Pikala is older, it means that she came first. Which also means that, actually, she isn't Acerola Amarela. No, it's Acerola who is Purple Pikala!
(and yes, you may argue that Acerola came first because of the game, but we're applying anime logic here)
