"Pra & Mai" (ef_pra_mai.pac, offset 2AC9DE40) is a package of coding found in the game files for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is unknown exactly what it was intended to be.
A common belief is it was meant to be the Pokémon Plusle & Minun together as a planned playable duo, similar to the Ice Climbers. This belief comes from the prefixes of their Japanese names (Prasle and Mainan), respectively. Plusle and Minun also appear together as a trophy, which seems more detailed than other trophies for non-playable characters, furthering this belief. However, there is no evidence that it is the pair of characters as the package is unfinished. The big problem that knocks the Plusle and Minun theory down is that the Ice Climbers each had their own character data (one for Popo and one for Nana), so they couldn't have possibly been a tag team, at least not in the unfinished data. It should be noted, however, that Nana's data is very small and consists mainly of voice clips. Most of her other data (such as hitboxes and textures) is held in Popo's data file.
Another theory states that Pra_Mai means "Random Box" because no space for the Random character selection was discovered in the coding of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
