Ok, this is obviously a fake Pokémon, but that's not the main reason I'm putting this up for deletion - a fake Pokémon could in theory, be notable. The reason is that it fails WP:NFT: "Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day". After searching Google for a bit, it became clear that "Hifishi" is one of the fakes from the "PokéGods" craze a few years back (remember "MewThree"?) - a craze that consisted entirely of...kids making things up in school one day, and telling their gullible friends in order to trick them into glitching up their games. "Hifishi" wasn't even that notable as far as these fakes went, and to top it all off, the page treats "Hifishi" not as a fake, but as an "unused Pokémon" (although it does say that the most common code is fake). This does not belong on Wikipedia by any stretch of the imagination. ~e.o.t.d~ 06:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
