Sometimes I am quite happy about strict german naming laws.

The first name …

• must be recognizable as a first name
• must not be a widespread place name or brand name.
• must not be a family name. Exceptions have been made in particular for East Frisian middle names (for example “ten Doornkaat”) and for very rare, unusual surnames (for example Wannek, Birkenfeld), as well as of course for surnames that are mainly known as first names (such as Gerhart).
• may not denote a title such as Lord or Princess.
• does not have to be clearly masculine or feminine, as was the case until 2008, but may also be neutral.
• must not harm the child’s welfare by ridiculing the child or creating a connection “to evil”

Pikachu absolutely falls under ridicule and maybe even brand name
