"The design and art direction for Pikachu were provided by Ken Sugimori,[6] a friend of the creator of the Pocket Monsters game, Satoshi Tajiri, and the species appeared as a the starting character for players in Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition for the Game Boy. The character in the early Pokémon video games was portrayed by a two-dimensional sprite, but in later releases Pikachu's appearance has been conveyed by 3D computer graphics. Throughout, the character has been portrayed with no spoken dialogue. In the series' anime, the character has facial expressions, body language, and makes noises that repeat syllables of their name, using different pitches and tones."-Wikipedia
What do you think it is about Pikachu that makes it (neither a male nor a female) so appealing?It's a question haven't been able to answer for years. Is Pikachu's image destined to be destroyed by hipsters and scene kids,can true otaku appreciate such a played out character?I know I can.Then again,I'm not a true otaku..
