Protein named after Pikachu. Weird. Anything else named after fictional characters you can think of? I believe there is a "Truman Show" Disease as well, but that's as far as I can think. *Discuss*

I thought of Electric Soldier Porygon as soon as I saw that article.  :D

There's a gene named Sonic Hedgehog, I think.

Protein, and it's a very important one, at that. A gene called Zbtb7 was previously known as the POKEMON (POK Erythroid Mylenoid ONcogenic Factor) gene, but being that it's a potential master switch gene for cancer, Nintendo threatened to sue them, so they changed the name.

They actually threatened to sue?

Sad? It's sad that Nintendo doesn't want their product associated with a cause of caner?

Hey, I got the new Pokemon
OMG ARE YOU GONNA BE OKAY?

I dunno about characters, but there are some flowers named after rock albums. There's an "Electric Ladyland" orchid.
