On Wednesday morning, The Pokémon Company unveiled its newest addition to Pokémon Sword and Sword, which is set to release next month, and he's a little round in the mid-section. Based on his original model when he was first created back in 1998, Pikachu is turning back the clock and snacking on a few too many Rare Candies.
For anyone who put in the time and effort required to truly “catch em’ all” across seven generations and 800 plus pokemon may have seen the writing on the wall.
