Super random question.Saw the question on D/P,Dawn messed it up,and now I want to know your guy's guesses.

Sorry, no long-winded exaggeration from me this time.In the Japanese version, Kengo's nickname for Hikari is "Pikari." Once he sees Hikari with Pikachu, he assumes it's hers and declares the two of them to be the pika-pika combo, Pikari and Pikachu.
The pun wouldn't make sense at all in the dub (since they gave Hikari a name that sounds nothing like Pikachu), so they had to pretty much gloss over it.
Assuming you really don't know how the original joke wasn't able to carry over to the dub, I'm just going to swipe this from the MIA-Dogasu's site:

Anyone willing to bet that this will become a running gag in that the true nature of the in-joke will never be revealed?
Maybe they're implying that Dawn can also be nicknamed "Double D"?

stupid reason, i know, but...maybe she was such a ~Kirby-fanatic~ so they called her that?xD
