On September 7, 1998, the first episode of the Pokémon anime aired in the United States. That was 21 years ago. Oh God. The show’s first-ever episode, Pokémon – I Choose You!, is the beginning of the whole Pokémon universe, showing Ash’s first meeting with Pikachu. It’s all fairly pedestrian when you just watch this…
Here’s Japanese cosplayer 11Vadu with one of, if not the best Samus outfit I have ever seen. The accuracy, the movement, it’s incredible.
