Flippercanorious: Elegant.
Example: "Emperor Pikatchu surrounded himself with ivory statues and flippercanorious gold fountains in his opulent palace."
Not to be confused with flippercarnivorous which is to dine on washed up former-TV-star dolphins (interpret washed-up as you wish).

Flabberdegaz: Nonsensical talk.
Example: "Emperor Pikatchu spoke frequently of alien conspiracy, balloon ships, a supreme Pokemon race and other flabberdegaz."
Not to be confused with flumadiddle which means... the very same thing, so go ahead and confuse them.

Flooster: To flatter, coax, make much of. Of a dog, to play, gambol.
Example: "His subjects floostered Emperor Pikatchu for his shiny yellow coat, rosey cheeks and lustrous teeth, and pampered him with platters of fancy fruits and cheesy cheesums."

Great illustration to go with your post. I'm sure anything goes in the land of Pikachu. Plus, all he says is Pika anyway, so it's kinda Flabberdegaz to me. Happy A-Z!
Maybe it's because I'm a mother of young children, but I know I have never used any of those words before. LOL
