For one last discussion of Pokémon with them being tied together by Dex numbers, I thought I'd go back to basics and refer to a species that many should know the Dex number of by now. That would be Pikachu, whose number is #25. Given this number, one line of reasoning is that its (close) friends could be found among Pokémon whose Dex numbers share the same two digits as this popular Pokémon. Thus, I've taken this line of reasoning and go over the Pokémon that are related by this virtue.
These Pokémon species would be Electabuzz (#125), Delibird (#225), Spoink (#325), Drifloon (#425), Boldore (#525), Bisharp (#625), Litten (#725), Dottler (#825), and Maushold (#925). Evidently, they're all the ones with 25 at the end, but in line with the other recent discussions, they cover the breadth of species up to the more than 1000 that are known today. The species that would have the number #1025 would fit in too... but things aren't there yet. When things get there, surely there will be a friend to be found.
Of these species, they might be considered to be "yellow friends" (Electabuzz, Dottler), "tailed friends" (Spoink, Litten, Maushold), "floating friends" (Delibird, Drifloon), and "strong friends" (Boldore, Bisharp). That's a whole lot of types of (possible) friends for a very popular yellow mouse, but then all of these friends may be helpful in all the ways that I've listed, allowing Pikachu to do more than it could if it were only by itself. That is perfectly in line with the spirit of friendships, in and out of Pokémon and both creature and human alike.
As Pikachu is very well-known, it would be expected that all (if not most) Pokémon are also friends with it, as is the case for the people connected to it in both real and imagined ways. The ones selected above according to a characteristic of their Dex numbers in line with that of Pikachu would then only be... a selection as such, but even that selection highlights how Pikachu can get along with others, in particular Pokémon species. On that note, it seems fitting to end the current discussion run, knowing that even Dex numbers can really link things.
