I have no idea how the gentleman in question managed to smuggle this Pokemon card into the rest of the deck what with the giant diamond ring attached to it and all, but however he did it, the proposal idea is certainly impressive.

Who knew that pokeballs, the devices used by the characters in the anime series Pokemon to capture their little critter pals, would be so beautiful in real life? Created via photo manipulation by DeviantARTist wazzy88, their elemental contents look so real, like they could burst out at any moment in a surge of bling. No wonder Pokemon don’t mind being trapped inside those things for hours on end!

Pokemon are so unrefined, but Gentlemon on the other hand are dignified enough to attend any formal event from a wedding to a gala. I’d take Gentlemon Pikachu as my date to a ball, that’s for certain.

First it was Sunsquatch, now Pikachu sunrise! Argentinian photographer Luis Argerich took this photo of an unusual sunrise over Rio de La Plata.
APOD explains that it's just low level clouds but just you wait till it attacks with the Volt Tackle!

When Pendleton Ward, creator of the Cartoon Network hit series Adventure Time, and animator Natasha Allegri want to tell a joke they use an adorable animated short to deliver the punchline, a short that happily spoofs Pokemon with tongue-in-cheek reverence.
Watch as Ash shows Pikachu the rules concerning passing gas in public, and be amazed when your normally stoic expression softens into a toothy grin!

These aren’t the little critters that have been driving kids, and parents, crazy for over 15 years, but personally I find these designs by Gavin Mackey far more appealing. Gotta catch ‘em all? More like make sure they don’t catch you, alone in the dark…

What do Pokémon look like in real life, rather than on the cartoon? Stephen Lefcourt took his camera out on an expedition to find out. He found a total of twelve, and you can view them at the link. Link -via Geekologie | Artist’s Website

What do we know about this madness? Nothing, but the stark computer programming manuals beside Pikathulhu tell us enough.

The cartoon blog Draw 2D2, I gather, offers a regular stream of mashups between different pairs of pop culture icons. Most recently, the artists there tackled Pokémon and Dr. Seuss. Jason Welborn added a few lines of Seussian poetry to his contribution.

David Schwen created this nifty can of Poké Beer. Gotta drink ‘em all! See the rest of his Poké stuff here: Link (Don’t miss the Poké Banana!)
Sure, you can make a name for yourself in the underground bloodsport of Pokémon fighting. But all you’re doing is hurting those innocent Pokémon and making yourself less of a human being. Stand up for Poké-rights, not Poké-fights.

This image has been going around the Internet for a few days, but thanks to Anime News Network, we now know who acquired these Pokémon balls subdermal implants. His name is Alex Finch, and he is a hardcore fan:
Finch spoke with ANN and stated that he has been a fan of the Pokémon videogame and anime franchise since he was in third or fourth grade, and that he chose to get six Poké Ball tattoos in reference to the number of Poké Balls which can be carried in the original videogames. He also noted that the tattoos shown are “just the beginning” as he plans to get additional tattoos of videogame, cartoon, and anime icons on the rest of the arm, including more Poké Balls.

deviantART user ~viridis-somnio created a lipstick arrangement that makes a mouth look like the Pokémon Pikachu. She writes:
This is a bonus Animal-ipstick I did for a photo assignment. It’s Pikachu! Everyone in class loooved this one. My final project was a total of 20 photos of anything I wanted. Mine is sort of a typology, but the only consistent element are my lips.
This awesome beanbag chair in the shape of a Snorlax (from the world of Pokémon) was made by DeviantART member SmellenJR for a Christmas gift.
This took I think… over 100 dollars in supplies to make. I ended up with a little extra cream colored fabric and muslin. Thankfully muslin is super cheap.
Most of the work was done the last minute to be in time for Christmas. The box we put it in was perfect because when she lifted the top box off, it’s arms flopped out as if to say: “HUG ME!”
The design of this Charmander cake is simple, but effective. When lit and seen from above, it looks like the Pokémon is actually breathing fire.

Imagine riding to kindergarten in a bus that looks like Pikachu -you would learn to love school right off the bat! This is just one of the ways the Pokémon character has settled into pop culture all over. Check out the other nine ways, including the USB Head Bobble Pikachu, Pikachu shoes, and the The Pikachu Circuit Bending Orchestra! Link
After 25,968 encounters (133 hours and 15 minutes) playing 3 consoles at once, Pokemon #1 Uber Fan Abenzio (age 15) has finally found the elusive Shiny Ponyta.
Cool-O-Rama has the video clip: Link (the second clip, the fun starts at 40 seconds). Before you lay into the guy, may I ask when was the last time you were that enthusiastic, hmm? By the way, this confirms my belief that Pokemon is like digital crack.
How else would one propose marriage to the woman with the world’s largest Pokemon collection? Especially if you met her at a Pokemon competition? JC Fletcher writes for Joystiq:
When Chris Herbert decided to pop the question to his girlfriend of three years, Belle Starenchak, he picked the most romantic place he could think of: Anime Weekend Atlanta, with both dressed as Pokemon. It … kind of makes sense for them.
Belle, or “PikaBelleChu,” is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records: Gamer Edition for her massive Pikachu memorabilia collection, and Herbert met her by staging a Pokemon auction. So while we might be tempted to laugh, it would seem that the pursuit of ‘em all is a major component of this couple’s lives.

Wha…? Is that …? Really? Yes, it is. Behold the reusable Pokémon-themed maxi pad, made by Etsy seller NaturallyHip.
I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere. And while we’re at it, this product certainly does add a twist to the Pokemon motto of "gotta catch ‘em all," doesn’t it?
