It is therefore not too much of a stint to imagine thatthe denizens of the Pokémon World have their own star constellation , and perhaps beyond that , their own Zodiac Signs .

It is extremely unconvincing , however , that these Zodiac Signs would match those of our own , seeing as seven of them are usually present by fellow member of the animal kingdom . Instead , it ’s interesting to consider thatthey would utilise Pokémon as the base for their astrological signs . But which ones suit each sign ? seize their stars are in the same place as ours , there are twelve Pokémon that seem to tally the greenback perfectly .

An idea considered in the earliest days of the Pokémon anime would ’ve radically affected Pikachu , changing what buff know about the electric mouse .
