The Realistic Pikachu

Posted by admin

From destructoid.com…

So you’ve seen the realistic take on Super Mario and the realistic take on Bowser. Sure, both of those were creepy, but I think I’ve found something that tops both of those.

This realistic Pikachu was made by Dogsfather and would have been perfect for an Art Attack Friday. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have much game related stuff. In fact, half of his game related stuff I wouldn’t be able post since it consists of Samus Aran being naked.

This take makes perfect sense as Pikachu is a mammal after all. This is how Pokemon like this should be giving birth, not with an egg. Of course, if we look at it all realistically, I have to wonder what an Onyx birth would be like.

Playitreviewit.com is a community-based review site where anyone can make their voice heard. Playitreviewit.com places the spotlight on the gamer, allowing anyone to write a review, connect with their friends, find new games they might enjoy, and get some cool rewards in the future.

The long-term goal of Playitreviewit is to allow gamers to depend on each other for their game reviews (as opposed to strangers whom they have never met before), get away from the archaic numeric review scale, and give a voice to people who wish to make themselves heard.
