You remember Pikachu, right? That joyful, electric yellow furball who’s your constant companion and always ready with an affirming thumbs up and high-pitched exclamation of “PIKA!”

WELL HE’S DEAD NOW — or at least forever tainted by the horrifying introduction of a grizzly-voiced Pikachu in a new trailer for the upcoming Detective Pikachu that none of us can ever unsee.

Slated for a March 23 release date, the Nintendo 3DS game will follow the journey of said Detective Pikachu as he tries to get to the bottom of strange disappearances in the Pokémon community.

If you love Pokemon and pranks, or if you ever dreamed of being part of a mischievous Star Wars crew, this anecdote from the set of The Last Jedi is going to increase your FOMO. 

Filming on The Last Jedi coincided with the release of another worldwide sensation, Pokémon Go. And according to John Boyega, new cast member Kelly Marie Tran (who plays Resistance member Rose Tico) dragged the rest of the cast and crew — especially director Rian Johnson — down the Diglett hole. 

“Kelly is responsible for turning the Star Wars set into a Pokémon Go set,” Boyega told Mashable. “Kelly made [Last Jedi director] Rian Johnson walk off set thinking that she found a Pikachu right outside the door.” Read more…

What does a conversation between two Pikachus sound like?

Somebody in Japan who happens to own both an Amazon Alexa and a Google Home decided to find out by using both devices and the Pikachu Talk app, which is available for both smart home assistants. The app responds to sounds with Pikachu noises, so a full-on Pikachu dialogue ensues between the devices.

Here’s what it sounds like:

Pikachu actually SPEAKS in the new Pokémon movie and it’s weird as hell

sudshr47 November 14, 2017

The only words we’ve heard out of Pikachu’s adorable little face were “Pikachu” and some minor variations of it. Until 2017, that is.
Now, apparently, Pikachu speaks full English sentences, and that’s not OK.
