Detective Pikachu “life size” “plushie” “toy” figure on World Hobby Fair 201

The Pokemon Company will have a booth at the upcoming World Hobby Fair 19 Winter event in Japan.

One of the things you can do at the booth is visit the Pokemon Detective Pikachu corner. At the corner, there’s apparently a lifesize Detective Pikachu statue for fans to take photos with. It looks super close to how Detective Pikachu looks like in the movie!

Check out the photos below:

 

This would be great if they would sell this! I would defiantly buy one! How about your thoughts? We like this much more then the CG, but the CG is still good yet creepy for a Pokemon……I fear game people might make the next Pokemon game with this graphics because the movie might be so big!

Holiday Pikachu Totally Evolves into a Secret Holiday Raichu – How To Evolve

No Thunder Stones needed – just take that Pikachu Candy out of your stocking!

Just in time to count down the 12 PokéDays until Christmas, Niantic dropped a massive update to Pokémon GO — and there’s one Pokémon that’s way more festive than the rest. The holiday-themed Pikachu, it turns out, also evolves into an equally festive holiday Raichu.

So far the update allows you to hatch a Tokepi or a Pichu by walking a ton, and the festive Pikachu are all over the wilds of your backyard, office, or home. Lucky hoarders who have the Pikachu Candy to spare can evolve that Holiday Pikachu into the Holiday Raichu immediately upon capture.

This comes a week after initial tease about an impending Generation 2 update to the mobile phenomenon including Pokémon from Gold and Silver.

Historically, evolving a Pikachu is no small feat in Pokémon GO as Pikachu tend to be rather rare and players need 50 Pikachu Candy to evolve it into Raichu. Players can assign Pikachu as a Buddy to earn an additional one candy per kilometer walked, which helps, especially while you’re busy hatching those eggs anyway. Catching a Pikachu will get you three Candy, and sending a Pikachu to the Professor will get you another single Candy. Between these methods, even new players could be hanging out with a Holiday Raichu with as few as 50km walked after catching a Holiday Pikachu! So you better strap on those running shoes and start pounding the pavement.

Fortunately, it also appears that Holiday Raichu can also indeed appear in the wild — no evolution needed:

For anyone asking if you evolve your Festive Pikachu into Raichu, will it still have its hat? Yes. pic.twitter.com/LDJOkYwoQZ

You better hurry. The limited Holiday Pikachu — and his more evolved counterpart — will be returning to the North Pole on December 29, so be sure to catch them while you can.

Ditto is now on Pokémon Go, but you’ll have to catch a ton of Pidgeys to find it

In a last-ditch effort to get you to open up Pokémon Go for the first time since July, Niantic is adding a new species to the lineup: Ditto.

As you may recall, Ditto is the pokémon that has the ability to mimic other creatures it sees. And that’s exactly what Ditto does in the game: hide under the guise of other pokémon. In order to catch Ditto, you may have to catch a bunch of other scrub pokémon to find the real deal — even the Pidgeys and Rattatas. How else was Niantic gonna make sure you kept walking around and playing?

Once you have Ditto, you can take it to battle at the gym, where it can transform itself to copy the first pokémon it sees and retain all the moves for the remainder of the fight. If it sees another Ditto, however, things stay the same and you’ll just have to aggressively tap your way to defeating the opponent.

If your family is anything like mine, they’ll be pretty convinced Pokémon Go is still very much a thing and won’t question much if you decide you’ve had enough Thanksgiving and need to go for a Ditto hunt. At least that’ll be my excuse to step out of the room.
