Like I mean, what is the meaning of a little red star next to the name of my pokemon? Or anyones pokemon, they happen to be on some of the exact same type as others and still others do not have it, like for example I have my Pichu without a star and he's level 101, but in the clicklist I saw another Pichu with lower level, nothing else different than mine, not even or anything, BUT the star next to his Pichu name.
Maybe this means something important?
I appreciate any answers C:

The star means that the pokemon is a shiny

Yes (:
Pichu without a star

Pichu with a star

It's not as clear for some pokémon as for others, which is why there's the addition of a star. That way, you'll know for sure it's shiny.

If you're still not 100% convinced .. if you take your Charmander with the star out of your box for example, put it in your party, and then go view your party via your profile page, it'll even tell you in big bold letters that the Pokémon is shiny. ^^
