New Pikachu plushies set to commemorate Graduation in Japan

As someone that wears contacts all the time, yeah, glasses can go take a hike. I look awful with them too. And yeah, I don't think Pikachu looks all that great with them either. :x

And yep, I'll let you know about Pokémon Art Academy, because I was on the fence with that one for a while (it's actually much cheaper at the Pokémon Center than on Amazon!). My art skills are a bit shabby (shading tends to be my nemesis and it looks like this game addresses that), so I'm hoping this actually encourages me and kicks me in the butt to spruce them up.

Sadly I can't wear contacts. Astigmatism prevents me from ever doing that or LASIK. So hopefully they find a way around those someday so I can have better vision again someday. May end up picking up the Pikachu at this rate now xD

Awesome thanks! Yeah I was debating cause I'm a terrible artist. So shading will make me super confused since I'm not even good at the basic stuff haha. I was debating just to download it on the eShop. Odds are if I ever bought a physical copy I'd play it once then drop it never to see it again. At least with it always on me I would have reason to play again if I'm super bored.

Okay, I got my Intern Pikachu today (he's awesome!).

The glasses are really easy to take off and it only took me like two minutes (to tell the truth, the glasses were flimsy and tacky-looking anyway). They're only connected by a single thread in three places: one on each side of his face just under each ear, and then one right on the bridge between his eyes. You can just slide a pair of scissors or an exacto knife right at the thread, snip it, and done, easy money with no visible damage to the Pikachu.

He looks MUCH better without the glasses. See for yourself!


Obligatory Emolga included.

So yeah, if you prefer your Intern Pikachu without glasses, it's a really easy fix. I'd say definitely get one soon, as these are the kinds of things they don't keep for too long.

"Obligatory Emolga included". Oh, Neo, you're too funny. Cx

Ah, if I only I was a business man..or a guy. XD They really need to make female versions of these.

ooooooo looks really awesome! So just snipping the thread removes it all huh? No super complex stitching involved? Dunno, I may pick it up. *Checks store sees Business Pikachu along with new items.* Huh. Lets see. Well I've never seen that one before, not even in Japan. That or I missed it on the store. An artist Pikachu. Either way I think I may wait on the next monthly Pika and see what it drops. I like the business Pikachu and all, but I may end up waitint on this one.

They do though! Though, they are a bit more uncommon. They do have a new monthly Pika plush collectible line now (male and female). It's a pair Pikachu along with basic monthly Pikachu plushes as well. So double (or triple) the Pikachu each month now!

Being a goof is what I do best!

I agree, a business professional female Pikachu would be cool. Dress for success!

Yeah, no crazy stitching, glue, or any of that junk (yeah, I was VERY glad there wasn't any glue, because that would have been much tougher to try and remove). But yeah, business Pikachu is cute, cool, and makes for a great addition to any cubicle. :D

XD Totally! Except I need a crazy, artistic female Pikachu with red hair. :p Well maybe minus the red hair, but something artistic would be cool.

Well it's not a female, but there is a male Pikachu with the typical artist shirt on, the brush, and one of those red artist style hats (I forget what it's called). Maybe force the tail to bend and make it female? xD
