Um, does Australia even have any of these stores left? I thought they all packed up and left.

"I will name him George and I will love him and pet him and squeeze him."

Ol' timey time reference there. But I'm looking forward to buying one, especially if there's a cute Charizard X hoodie for him to wear.

Personally, I'd love a Build-An-Espurr option.

I really hope Build-A-Bear will eventually offer Japanese themed clothes to dress up the pikachu. I would especially love to have a kimonos to put on mine~! Very Happy

You're not familiar with how Pokemon works, are you?

I am a pokemon fan, though only played few titles, but seriously Pikachu is overused, it is dont have any special role in original game let alone one of main pokemon in game. The anime make it famous.

What about the Yellow Version of Pokémon? Pikachu's involvement there was pretty monumental, at least from my perspective.

Am I the only one who thinks raichu>pikachu?

Pikachu is very much overdone these days. I second the vote for espurr.

Oh you mean the one with Pokemon designs a number of the fanbase can't stand because they aren't similar to Gen 1 or Gen 2 designs and none of them having the built in popularity and familiarity of Pikachu?

Yellow's gimmick was inspired by the anime though......hence why Jesse & James are apart of the game for some reason.

Hmm, I guess that means another store with Pokémon stuff at Downtown Disney. I'll always remember Build-a-Bear best for when my cousin from another country stopped on by, and she got a Rainbow Dash without ever having heard of My Little Pony.

Well, I'll just say that I can't stand those fans. The Genwunners are by and large a pretty obnoxious bunch.
