I, for one, welcome our electric rodent overlords.

Makes me wish I could visit Yokohama again, even though it's humid throughout most of Japan right now.

Cute and creepy at the same time. No, actually it's cute.

If one of that Pikachu fell and couldn't stand back, I feel bad for the guy inside but nevertheless it's gonna be funny and cute. Oh my, I'm a bad person.

I would like to see a line of Pikachus topple over like dominoes. The cuteness would be overwhelming.

There have been people posting videos of the Pikachu as they were lining up for promotional purposes a few days ago (including the pictures in this article) and a friend of mine got to hug one and take a picture with it before one of the officials shooed him and some other Japanese tourists off. Seeing the videos makes me blush from all the cutesiness. Just... The suits are so well-designed and the Pikachu all waddle around because of the way the gravity in the suit works and... the suit shuffles with such adorableness. It's hard to imagine someone in the suit when they are so perfect. Anime hyper
