Japanese artists bring the Pokémon icon’s anime-to-live-action evolution back to illustrated form.
Pikachu (Page 16)
Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution remakes the Pokémon franchise’s first film in full CG, and the trailer shows Ash and pals like we’ve never seen them before.
The wait is over, as the new setting and starter Pokémon for the first all-new Pokémon game for a top-of-the-line Nintendo system are revealed!
There are going to be tons of Pokémon in the film but it’s still a little weird hearing Pikachu cuss.
Pokémon fashion comes to Harajuku, and we’ve got a massive photo preview to help you decide how to customize your dress shirt.
Organizers hint that the beloved anime/video game franchise’s mascot himself might make an appearance on your special day.
Japanese fashion label also shares videos showing the ridiculously huge number of customization options that ensure your shirt won’t look exactly like any other Pokémon fan’s.
Wearing a suit to the office isn’t so bad when you’ve got Pikachu, Eevee, and your other Pokémon pals with you.
The wait is over, and the capsule toy feline fashions are now being modeled by Japan’s cats.
Relax your body and improve your Poké-knowledge at the same time.
Pocket monsters Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur also join in the fun for this hugely popular collection.
With human faces staring out of their mouths, overly long legs, and dead eyes, these Pikachus aren’t exactly cute.
Maximum points for accuracy to the Pokémon source material, zero points for cuteness.
Why just say “I accept the terms of this transaction” when you can say “I accept the terms of this transaction, and also PIKA!”
This toy makes us wonder if Pikachu missed a lucrative career as either a breakdancer or a strobe light by sticking around with Ash too long.
Plus, can’t decide between Pikachu and Eevee? Adorable combo plate means you don’t have to.
