In the community of Pokémon GO, a screenshot of a very special Pikachu was shared. It had a vibrant appearance instead of the usual yellow color. Although it is just a glitch, the community wants it to be added to the game.
Why do trainers want this Pikachu? The screenshot on Reddit sparked intense discussions. Some trainers came up with funny names for the special Pikachu, while others simply demanded that it be added to the game.
The background is that Pikachu has already appeared at many events with various costumes. This annoyed some trainers, but this crazy glitch appearance would finally bring some fresh air.
“The coolest Pikachu”
This is how it looks: In the Reddit post by user Xaphine, you can admire the special specimen of a Pikachu. Xaphine writes: ‘I found the Pikachu in front of my house. Is it missing textures or is this a new costume? I caught it, but it was never added to my collection.’
The picture shows many bright colors adorning Pikachu’s body. The face, including the red cheeks, remains uncolored. It looks like it is wearing a colorful helmet with a colorful suit.
This is what the community says: On Reddit, Xaphine’s post is being hotly debated. Within three days, over 300 comments have accumulated.
Some joke that the Pikachu looks like it has taken drugs or is a walking drug.
Many agree that the Pikachu should be catchable. Perky214 writes: ‘I want this Pikachu. It is the coolest ever’ (via reddit.com). Xaphine agrees and writes ‘I want it too. I’m sad that it doesn’t show up in my collection. Even when I had it evaluated, it stayed in this texture. Then it just disappeared’ (via reddit.com).
Why does it look like this? The community has agreed that it is a display error. This is not a new type of Pikachu. A glitch caused it to appear in this striking appearance in the game.
