Yes. It's inside of your mom's cavernous vagina.

>>27123251

How does pokemon canon explain the discovery of new pokemon? Are they geographically separated? Do they continuously mutate? Do evolutions sometimes fuck up and new pokemon are created out of pure chance? Or are they created by PokeGod and manifest whenever it is chronologically appropriate?

>>27124031

Just this would be perfect,

>>27123342
It better evolve. I so imagine its shadowy body to grow out and the cloth to become a mask or a head cover.

It's actually gonna be the top 10 of the popularity poll

So like, was it without a sheet before the Pikachu merch, or...?

>>27124556
It was probably imitating some other 80s/90s cartoon character.

JOHTO RE-REMAKE. CONFIRMED!

>>27124556
It probably didn't exist before, I think it's sort of an entity born of the collective jealousy of overlooked pokemon species for Pikachu's popularity.

So a pink blob can be fairy type, but not a black blob?

Was it necessary to show who Pikachu is?

>>27124136
They were always there

>>27125373
Was corocoro sharing the idea how this pokemon was created, like was there actual merchandise that looked like that pikachu? Or were they sharing the 'pokedex entry', meaning the merchandise only exists in the Pokemon universe/Alola, and not in the real world/Japan?

I imagine there was a horrific accident near a factory of over-produced Pikachu dolls that never got sold. The ghosts of the people who died latched onto the Pikachu dolls, and spread out across Alola.

And of course, Pokémon being magic. They bred, and the new ghosts were just born with the costume, just like new Banette's are born as dolls.

Simple.

>>27123598

Maybe gamefreak is fucking tired of pikachu. They only buffed raichu's speed, never gave it a mega evolution, are pretty much forced to create a shitton of clones and have pikachu in every fucking game.

I can only imagine how much the anime writers fucking hate pikachu. Gotta animate that little faggot f-o-r-e-v-e-r and every episode has to have it doing something retarded.

Ash needs to just evolve that little shithole.. Or replace it with this.

You can't win

But, if it wears pikachu merch from 20 years ago, how will that be explained in-game?
How did it get ahold of pikachu merch if merch is a thing of the real world?

>>27130191
It already is the most meta pokemon, see above

>>27128046
raichu is actually one of my favorite pokemon, they should just give it a few more buffs and make it a viable pokemon

>>27131482

It didn't take actual Pikachu merch, it made its own costume.

>>27131482
It doesn't WEAR Pikachu merch, it wears a sheet and makes it look like a Pikachu because it realized Pikachu was super popular after seeing all the merch.

Where the hell is this "it wears a Pikachu doll" thing coming from anyway?

>>27131482
There are plushes of cute animals in the real world, some are more liked than others.

>>27125692

I WILL LOVE IT. I SWEAR.

It won't evolve, it's a black blob with a new typing that's gimmick is Pikachu clone. It's a single mon.

no. it wears pikachu merch. they often show pokemon merch in the games.

>>27131755
and where did it see the merch? in-game? Well, it's still popular in-game because it's a mascot, so still pretty meta IMO
Especially since it specifies "20 years"

>>27131954
It IS meta. It's very obviously a nod to Pokemon as a franchise existing for 20 years, and is literally based on 20-year-old mascot merch.

In-Game though, it's just an old haunted pikachu doll, similar to Banette.

>>27131886
>>27132050
It literally says in Corocoro it just designed its sheet after Pikachu.

>>27132093
"based on merch"
a translation i saw earlier didn't have the "based on" part. you're right. which explains why the face is so poorly drawn.

These fuckers spotted all the Pikachu merchandise that was all over the place and made the connection that Pikachu must be popular, then decided to design their sheets to look like Pikachu so they'd be popular too.
