Pikachu Will Destroy You With A Big Yellow Sword

In my time, I’ve seen a lot of Pikachu cosplay, but I’ve never seen anything as bizarre (or wonderful) as this. If Nintendo ever does a Pokémon reboot (I doubt it will), it should give the Pocket Monsters battle gear and giant swords. So they can beat the crap outta each other.

The Virtual Pikachu That Didn’t Need Food

Back in 1998, Pokémon was the shiz-nittle-bam-snip-snap-sack. Much like Ninja Turtles the decade before, Pokémon was the children’s franchise. Even people who didn’t watch the show could instantly recognise its mascot, Pikachu. It was during this time that Nintendo and Game Freak decided to release a giga-pet based on owning an actual Pokémon. And thus the Pokémon Pocket Pikachu was born.
