I didn't think of Pikachu… I shoudl think of the YELLOW characers first when I see a YELLOW blur, thanks.
In the IC game, once they recover all the veggies they decide to share them with the condor and become friends ^.^
Total BS, but a posibility that sakurai thought
That or it is realy easy to tame giant animals that look like pterodactyls with giant mallets.
If PT will use a Pokemon to follow the action of the battles: IE a lapras when the stage floods, a pidgeot when the background disaparears, he should use a psichick pokemon to teleport in, or a fliying one to land.
The bike if he isn't much interactive with the background.
