pikawho?

By jp 01 Jan 2001

some people have a religious experience when they talk to god. I had one the other night. I talked to pikachu. not that silly new nintendo crap, the real deal: it turns out the lady that does the voice for pikachu is the aunt of my current host in tokyo…

so the other night at dinner they whip out the phone and in three minutes Im on the horn with pikachu. she pikas at me for a few minutes, which almost killed me — I was laughing so card I almost peed the carpet, which is a no-no in any culture I think.

anyhow, I still dont understand the appeal of pokemon, but I think Im forever changed.
