Pokemon Sun and Moon Have a Heartbreaking Adorable Pikachu Impostor

The internet is currently crying with tears of sadness and happiness over a new addition coming to Pokemon Sun and Moon. Mimikkyu is a ghost type Pokemon which will look pretty familiar to most people.

Coming from Serebii, Mimikkyu was recently uncovered in the Japanese magazine CoroCoro and their translation of the reveal says that Mimikkyu is wearing a cloth costume based on Pikachu, Nintendo’s most loved creation in the Pokemon franchise.

“It wants to be loved by people like Pikachu is,” Serebii says.

Hold on with me one moment while I get some tissue to wipe away the many tears.

Okay so, over the course of Pokemon, Game Freak and Nintendo have been trying to recreate the love for the Pikachu design which is seen all over the world. Every new addition to the franchise has seen a clone of some kind but has never managed to win over the masses like the original yellow electric mouse. Mimikkyu seems to be a “if you can’t beat them, join them” solution in the most emotional way possible.

Mimikkyu just wants to be loved and must know that Pikachu is the face of Pokemon loved by all, so when you just want to be loved you copy what all ready is, in a heartwarming but also heartbreaking design.

Game Freak has created one of their most amazing and heartbreaking new addition to the Pokemon world, with the rest of the internet agreeing as fan art is already floating around the internet.

Recently Pokemon Go has taken the internet by storm, only currently available in some countries but has not stopped smart trainers from finding their own way to access the game. We also jumped into Pokemon GO to give our top tips for beginner trainers.
