I think we should all give a moment's pause and thanks to the late Yamaguchi-san for his wise decision.

HUH????? Buff??? If he's cute then he's gotta be a cute plumped up electric mouse. Makes him juicier, not tough and stringy. But this is pretty funny.

Imagining Pikachu being buff is definitely going to give me nightmares tonight...

I sure am glad Pikachu is cute, rather than buff Wink.

Glad Pikachu remained cute.

The franchise has its place for both the cuter pokemon and the beefy/fiercer looking pokemon.

I couldn't imagine the mascot being anything else.

They probably wanted the next Kirby, but they ended up getting something bigger.

thats hypocritical to say that when you mostly change your pokemon designs in ever new version...

Thank goodness "Buffed Pikachu" never came to fruition.
I could never imagine the yellow Electric Pokemon as anything else than a cute little mouse.

The funny thing that buff can mean naked as well. But hell he is isn't he. Fat, juicy and in the buff. I guess I said too much.
