Pokemon To Cover Your Hacking Cough

2:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Pikachu to the rescue! Just got back from the doctor’s — the morning was spent at the doctor’s office. Both the kid and I are a tad under the weather. So after hitting the chemist, we got masks for when we visit the baby (as not to get it sick). Mini-Bash picked himself something I had never seen: a Pokémon mask! Then again, I’d never really looked. This mask comes with stickers for easy customisation. Amazing to see how much branding that franchise gets. More »

Really Fake Pikachu For Really Big Bucks

7:30PM Brian Ashcraft | HOLY SHIT. THAT LOOKS SO REAL. A while back, a Japanese Yahoo! seller put 20 “limited edition” Pikachus on the auction block with the crazy closing price of ¥99,000,002,805,760 (over US$ 900 million). According to the seller: Captured one-by-one only after you order to ensure its good health! Fantastic! These Pikachus were straight from the Pikachu forest, and the seller wrote that a 60-minute video showing how to raise and care for the Pikachu would be included as well. While we’re guessing the seller didn’t successfully unload any of this “limited edition” for US$ 900 million. Man, some people are so cheap. Pika Auction [Yahoo Auction Watch Thanks, Matt!] More »
