Notes

  • “Aji” (アジ) is interesting when it comes to Chinese hanzi and Japanese kanji.
    • In Chinese, “鰺” is the traditional form and “鲹” is the simplified form, pronounced “shēn”.
    • In Japanese, “鰺” is the (old) kyūjitai form and “鯵” is the (new) shinjitai form.
  • On Niconico, Aji has been called one of the heroes from the “Beta” era, though the video featuring them was uploaded during the “Gamma” era3) within a year of Aji's creation.
  • You could say that Pidgey's evolution looks a little… “fishy” (生臭く, namagusaku).
1)
“Aji” (アジ) has the scientific name, Trachurus japonicus, which is called the “Japanese jack mackerel”, “Japanese horse mackerel”, or “Japanese scad” in English.
