That is correct... If you're from Boston. hahaha. Maybe "PIE-kuh" instead.
I remember watching a documentary about them on PBS when I was a kid. I was kinda obsessed with them for a while. I think I wrote a story about them for English class in third grade.

Pica's a mental disorder that gives one the desire to eat non-food objects, and also pronounced like the animal pika. Probably can't depict that in a rebus though.

No, Pikachu's name is just onomatopoeic mouse noises in Japanese. Kind of like CS Lewis' mouse names Reepicheep and Peepiseek in the Narnia books.

In Danish Pik means cock and "achu" is really similar to the Danish onomatopoeia for sneezing.
"Cocksneeze, I choose you"
