Pikichu, we found you!

For whitewing and others: Turns out Pikichu is real, and living deep under the ocean.

But does it have a lightning power-up?

[creidylad]

Alas, the NY Times article didn't even give a name for this particular critter -- I'm thinking yes.

[steanne]

it does, it's a dumbo octopus. no lightning, just flight.

[creidylad]

Oh, hm, I thought that referred to the critter in the top right, who looks likei it has sneakers growing out of its chin.

[whitewing]

Now they need to prefect real pokeball technology, and I will be set!

[creidylad]

well, and figure out how to make the things live on the surface....

[ludomancer]

That creature looks... incredibly delicious.

[creidylad]

::squints::

I think you mean he looks kinda rubbery.

If something lives in water, I tend to picture it sliced atop small portions of sweet vinegar rice with wasabi and pickled ginger. His playful color would light up the palette of any plate. \^.^/

[creidylad]

Ahhhh. Yes, I see your point.

I imagine the taste of deep-sea creatures varies greatly from that of their shallower counterparts. Iwonder in what direction.

And dude, you are totally talking about eating Pikichu!
