Let Pokemon Show You The Haruhi Dance

We haven't posted a Haruhi Suzumiya dance clip recently. For good reason, because we've already posted tons. Too many actually! Haruhi overload!! Because of that, the bar for Haruhi dance clips is high. Few things can effortlessly jump over that bar as Pikachu can. Quality stuff, this.

Why Does Pikachu Look So Content?

I mean...I knew Pokemon bred. It's a staple of the series. But, you know...I always thought it was Nintendo-style breeding, which just happens. Not real-style breeding, where...urgh. Full pic is after the jump, not because it's NSFW, just because it's NSF...brains. More »

Fake Pikachu Brings Iraqi Children Happiness

This one is for a good cause. For the kids. Blog A Geek By Any Other Name was watching a fluff CNN piece about an Iraqi kids TV show. The clip showed how the show was a refuge from the war and let kids be, well, kids. Fair enough! Then guess who appeared? PHONEY FREAKAZOID PIKACHU! Yay!! A reporter interviewed one of the Iraqi kids who said that she really loved Pokémon. We bet she'd love the real ones even more.

Pokemon Puzzle Heads

Screw regular jigsaw puzzles. They suck. These sixty piece 3D globe puzzles are where it's at. Just look at Pikachu and Pochama and think to yourself: BIG FACE.

Hit the jump for a look at the puzzle boxes.

The True Meaning of Pikachu

File this under "huh." Ever wondered what "Pikachu" actually means? Sure, you have! "Pika" is from pikapika, which means to sparkle or glitter. "Chu" is from chuchu, the Japanese word for the sound mice make. So put them together, and you get "Pikachu," AKA "Sparkle Mouse Noise." A shame the localizers stuck with the Japanese original. We quite like that Sparkle Mouse Noise moniker.

Artist Dresses as Pikachu Bride

Art time! Photographer Kimiko Yoshida takes loads of pictures of herself dressed as brides from various cultures. There's a Cyber Bride, a Shinto Bride, a Communist Mao Bride and, yes, even a Pokémon Bride. Swing by her slightly NSFW website (there are art jubbs, you've been warned.) So far, she's done something like 150 brides. Gotta wed 'em all!

The Totally Official Trick-or-Treat Bag

This isn't "kind of" official, it's totally official. A Halloween goodie bag straight from the Pokémon Center in Osaka! A friend of the family's dropped this by the house earlier today to give Mini-Bash this Pokémon trick-or-treat bag filled with Pokémon sweets. Neato, huh? More pics after the jump! More »

The Cutest Pikacar

By no means is the first Pokémon car, and by no means is it the last. However, it is better than this one. Way better. It's from one of the Pokémon Centers in Japan. There seems to be a whole fleet of them Pokécars. But those Pika-cheeks? Darling. Wheel covers? Fab. And those lights? Adore them.

Pokemon For Sore Throats

Even when you've got a sore throat, Pokémon is there for you. Yes, this is Pocket Monsters nodo ame (throat lozenges), which comes in two fruity flavors: Orange and grape. They even have Vitamin C in them. How about that? And if this wasn't enough (it really isn't), there's Diamond & Pearl SPACE JUICE. Well, it's not really space juice. Pokémon space juice would be absurd. Rather, it's mixed fruit juice in an astronaut-style squeezy pouch that's often used for energy jelly drinks in Japan. Here, have a look: More »

Pik-a-Pumpkin I Choose You

The only reason I love this pumpkin is because I can pretend that the second image is actually of Pikachu ablaze, screaming his little heart out as his neon yellow fuz turns to ash and his obviously pink skin blisters.

Scary Pikachu, I Choose You!

During my travels through Akihabara I happened upon this absolutely terrifying and rather disturbing set of Pikachu shirts. McWhertor will be returning there tomorrow to hunt this bad boy down as long as they have it in an extra extra small. Yeah, that's how he rolls.

Pikachu, All Freaky and Messed Up

Snapped at Japanese bookstore, it's like poor Pikachu was put in a medieval torture device. This has to scare children. Hell, it scares me.

UNI-QLO Selling Pikachu Wear

Bought this for Mini-Bash. It's a collaboration between The Pokémon Company and UNI-QLO, Japan's answer to The Gap. Until July 15th, the retailer is selling these shirts to help promote the upcoming Pokémon anime. What I like best? The label. More »

The Pikachu Shopping Stroller

Over the weekend, the fam and I went shopping. It was at one of those huge, American-style shopping malls that are geared towards families with kids. Since these shopping centers are quite large and since small children get tired easily, stroller-type shopping cards are provided. Usually, they look like cars, but this mall had Pokémon ones — like with Pikachu and everything. There were also Hamtaro, Doraemon, Ultraman, Anpanman, Thomas the Train and Mickey Mouse. All bases, covered! More »

Pokemon Does The Haruhi Dance

Here's a fan-made take on Pokémon doing the Haruhi dance — an amazing take at that! Pikachu's small arms make the dance movements somewhat difficult, but in a cute way. Hit the jump for the original in all its original glory. More »
