Yes, you learn the headline accurately. With Pokémon’s 25-year-plus historical past, there are at all times little tidbits popping out about how the franchise propelled itself to success internationally, and probably the most latest gleamings we’ve gotten from the historical past of the sequence is that, apparently, American entrepreneurs needed to provide Pikachu boobs.

Fortunately, we by no means needed to see Pikachu boobs, however we are able to take a guess at what it may need regarded like from listening to Tsunekazu Ishihara’s phrases when chatting with Alex Pappademas for The Big Hit Show podcast. He described the American redesign as “something like a tiger with huge breasts”, including that “it looked like a character from the musical Cats”.

I’m fairly certain your individual creativeness has run wild with what little info we’ve given, so be glad to know that that’s as a lot because the president of the Pokémon Company was prepared to share on this event. We hate to suppose what Mr Ishihara would take into consideration the thicc Pikachu that’s been doing the rounds in latest months, however at the very least it doesn’t seem like one thing out of the thoughts of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

A heavy-chested Pikachu redesign isn’t the one little bit of recent info we managed to take from episode 3 of The Big Hit Show. It seems that the identical advertising and marketing crew answerable for making an attempt to pin the booby on the Pikachu got here up with over six units of different names and translations when naming the primary 151 Pokémon. However, with what we all know their imaginations have been able to, it’s most likely for the perfect these by no means noticed the sunshine of day.
