Title: Pikachu Starring in New Pokémon Game
Post by: Dangerface on October 12, 2013, 09:55:38 AM

Hold onto your hats Pikachu fans!

Development on a new Pokémon game, featuring Pikachu, began this summer, according to The Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara.

The Pokémon franchise’s most iconic character has had a few starring roles in the past in titles, such as Pokémon Yellow Version and Hey You, Pikachu, and we’re long past due for another. Since Ishihara has expressed some concern that Pikachu’s fame might be damaged if the company doesn’t produce a good title, fans hopefully have something to look forward to.

No details on an anticipated release date or platform have surfaced yet, but the producer did shed some light on the story, describing it as being about a boy using “playfulness” to take on the world.

Maybe it'll be like Punch-Out and Pikachu'll be the ref.

Why didn't anyone go for the obvious: Peter Jackson's Pikachu: The Official Game of the Movie.

Better question: Why weren't you there to go for it?!

The Kingdom Hearts reference was already in there.

I guess someone could also have thrown in a Naked Gun 33 1/3 reference. That truly would have killed the joke.
