Should we be honored that Pokémon gave name to a scientific discovery, /vp/?

Why would we be honored? We had no influence on it. It's neat that the guy who found it likes pokemon, but naming something that causes muscular dystrophy after a kids game is probably not a great thing in GF's eye

>inb4 people say WHY IS IT PIKACHU AND NOT ARCANINE/FLYGON/AMPHAROS/HERACROSS/SALAMENCE/DRAGONITE/INSERT QUADRUPED AND/OR MONSTER-LIKE AND/OR OU POKEMON HERE

Personally, it is kind of funny that something in our bodies got named after Pikachu.

>Since pikachurin seems to provide better visual acuity, Sato et al. of the Osaka Bioscience Institute believe that the protein could be used to develop a treatment for retinitis pigmentosa and other eye disorders.[2][9]
Pikachurin improves your eyesight. Never forget that, kids!

I don't see why.

More importantly there was something similar named after Sonic that had a relation to autism.

MissingNo. is not even a real Pokémon (just an error handler in the original core games) and it's a case study in sociology due to its abnormal popularity.
