Pokémon?

There's very little to support the idea that the Electric Hedgehogs actually are Pokémon for the following reasons:

  • None of them rely on trainers
  • All have full powers of speech
  • As far as can be seen, they are essentially treated as humans in CWCville

As Sonees and Roseys, they hatch from eggs and "evolve" into their adult forms, but the similarities end there. Only two of them (Blazebob Sonichu and Chloe Rosechu) have ever been put into a Poké Ball (although Chris has alluded to placing Sonichu and Rosechu into S-Chu Balls)[1]. The closest they get before then is a bizarre inversion when Wild Sonichu puts two of the Sonichu Balls (which look like Poké Balls) into his arms. Also, as individual species, Pokémon don't have the vast varieties of powers and appearances that Sonichus and Rosechus have. Finally, Pokémon can only know four moves at a time, whereas Sonichu and company seem to simply have whatever abilities would be convenient at any given moment. Even the Pokémon anime, which prefers to use the gameplay mechanics as a general rule instead of a physical law, has Pokémon know no more than four moves at once and doesn't have Pokémon use moves that they cannot learn in-game (well, most of the time, but they're usually reasonable mistakes). However, like most of Chris's creations, Sonichus and Rosechus are essentially just Mary Sues, so the fact they can rebel against established Pokémon rules is not altogether surprising.

It should also be noted that Chris will, unsurprisingly, ignore the logic of "Super Effective" unless it suits him. In the games, attacks will have their base power doubled or halved (or nullified altogether) if the opposing Pokémon is weak or resistant to the type of the attack used. This enables weak Pokémon to bring down opponents several levels higher than they; so long as they're weak to their attacks, they'll go down faster. The anime prefers to ignore this rule, and if it's ever invoked, it's done to show how tough a particular Pokémon is. With Chris, though, it's just him being stupid.

Trivia

Note that while very similar, characters such as Bionic the Hedgehog, Megagi La Skunk, Canino Houndhowl and Jiggliami are not Electric Hedgehog Pokémon. Also note that some of the listed characters, Simonla and Silvana, are not even partially Electric-type, making the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon typing a misnomer.
