If you are a fan of anything Japan, then you have to know about Pikachu, the main character from the internationally famous cartoon Pokemon.
Some lucky people received the chance of a lifetime last new years eve, when a man claiming to have discovered a Pikachu forest offered to catch live Pikachus for around $925 million each through a Yahoo! Japan Auction.
The auction limited the number of Pikachus that would be caught to 20 and with the purchase of 3 months of Pikachu food, the seller would provide a 60 minute training video to help teach new owners how to properly raise a young Pikachu.
We figure anyone who was willing to pay the $925 million probably ended up with something like this in the mail:

omg! that’s so cute! i watched picahu when i was small
tho that looks like rats, except they just painted it so it would look like picachu…the ears are real…(i hope)
The bottom one is just a rat, duh, whoever wrote the article was kidding saying he thinks it’s a hoax and that is what the people that buy them will receive, a rat made to look like a pikachu. As for the top picture, it’s legit, that’s what they actually look like, and I’m thinking about finding where this pikachu forest is and catching some for myself maybe, 925 million dollars a pikachu, big bucks, plus it would be killer to have one for myself.
YOU must be joking!! its’ all fake. haven’t you ever heard of Photoshop?!? the one on the top is cute tho; the bottom one made me crack up!! ROFL
uhh i dunno about that its on a newspaper i have O_o
THAT IS BULLSHIT~!
FRIGGIN IMPOSSIBLE!!!

its not fake. Japanese people are just crazy
Fake!
WTF
lol, those ears and colors on the first mouse are totally photoshopped.
its just like photoshoped..
usually, this site provides good news.
this is the worst stuff i’ve seen so far (-_-)
same
Sorry to hear that. The story is that some really stupid person created an auction selling fake Pikachus at Yahoo Auctions. I thought it was funny and the questions on the Auction where funny.
We focus on weird and crazy things that happen in Asia and this is weird and strange..
Sorry you feel this is the worst post.. most say the worst is when I published a picture of my cat and nothing more..
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW IT WAS A FAKE AUCTION IF IT DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT?!
too bad this is fake.
how can ppl fall for this bullshit?!
sure its interesting, and frikkin weird…
but it’s just…WRONG~~~
who ever posted the auction should be condemned
Will it have pokeball too with that price ???
that is the foolest things i have ever seen
that is the biggest lie i ever seen
Well the first looks photoshopped and the second is spray-painted..perhaps could be some scam or what i dont know also ^^
make a video on youtube or prove something of action showing that living creater is actually a real life Pikachu. To prove it show the body of the thing with the rest he caught.
either those people bidding on it were A) deluding themselves for the tiny possibility it might be possible, B) bidding to prove that it was fake C)just dumb
AT SOME POINT… I BELIEVE AND YET, ITSREALLY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ITS TRUE TOO. BUT SHEIT, IF THERE WAS ACTUALLY ONE…. FCUK! I DONT CARE HOW MANY PEOPLE I HAVE TO RUN OVER TO GET TO THE PIAKCHU FOREST, IM GETTING MINE!
Well, it could be photoshopped, who knows, seeing how technologies grow these days, but it could be real too.
Let’s not be too narrow minded and just see how things are. When the video is out, we’ll see how.
If it is real, however, the seller of them has got to be careful.
Why?
Cos he’ll be facing robbery from Team Rocket, and he’d better be prepared incase he has heart attacks that he’ll be meeting with a talking cat. Meowth.
Can’t forget about those pesky Galacticas.
yeah, they’d better watch out for Team Galactic and Mew Two too! Mew Two wants to clone Pikachu!!
Wah hah hah! And they say white people were crazy? I think Asians, more specificly, Japanese…LOL! They have sooo much imagination, they could draw it out, and now they can create Pikachus out of hamsters and rats! LOL! HAH HAH! $925 million is too much when you can buy one from a petstore for $20 or less and fashion it out yourself for another $20 or less…LOL!
Even if it was real… Pikachu is just a giant yellow rat…. Its not like it will be able to thunderbolt or anything. -_- whats the point of having one?
Anyone who would fall for this and would seriously place a bid of even one dollar (or yen, or whatever) on this would deserve to lose everything, including their trachea. The gene pool must be cleaned sometimes.
oh come one,
I doubt that there are any running around in some forest,
but I will not question as to whether they could genetically engineer something like that.
’squirtle!
they just looked dyed
selling pokemon? seems like the work of team rocket…
get an animal that looks like pikachu and dye it yellow!!!!everyone saying oh its fake its fake … ur idiots!!! u act like its impossible 2 dye a hamster yellow!!!! oh its photoshoped its photoshoped! not everything is photoshoped fucking nerds!!! ps im not saying its real im saying its possible
yeahh its probably fake but how would you dye an animal?
is it real or fake??
up 2 u, guyz..
some part of me said that it was a PHOTOSHOPED..
but the others, NOT!!
ffiuuhh..
uhm.. PIKACHU.. the manga 1..
has no mousetache, rite??
well, the question is..
is that price include the PIKACHU THUNDERCLAP??
hahaha..
To all you flamers out there, stop stereotyping photoshop as a tool for false illustrations. If you think whatever can be done just by using photoshop, why don’t YOU go and use it yourself and try to make a pikachu out of a rat. If you can make it look this real then fine. Maybe its edited then fine, but you don’t have to find every flaw out of it right? Do you know what is appreciation? Can your standards of art even get near this? Get a photo of a rodent and PHOTOSHOP it, EVEN IF PHOTOSHOP IS A VERB. Talent and skills are needed to master PS, but most of all its the BRAIN. And losers like you lack it, so you go around flaming and blaming photoshop. Why don’t you go photoshop youself with an enormous dick, since you have loads of time to flame like douchebags online? Back off losers.
HA! This is funny as those ‘poodles’ that made the news not long ago that the new owners had trouble raising. They did not notice the hooves!
