And the 'proper' term for a Voodoo doll is 'manikin' (and yes, it is spelled like that, not like the store 'mannequin'. And why would a fantasy world based off of the Kanto region of Japan even have knowledge of Haiti/Louisiana? (And don't try to pull the whole "But other real-world locations are mentioned in Gen 1!" bull. That's solely due to Early Installment Weirdness.
