Nintendo will take it down way before the local government can even react. Expect the sculptor to be sued into oblivion.

 

[Sephzilla]

Its better than nothing?

 

[Antilurker77]

Well, at least it doesn't make the place look worse.

 

[Pyrrhus]

Why is it pulling the Pokkén/Heichachi pose?

I don't know much of anything about casting statues but maybe they used a 3D model and a 3D printer to make the mold and they took assets from Pokken? If you look at the big picture, the statues inseam area seems a bit angular to me.

 

[psyfi]

Its better than nothing?

what if there was a statue before, but it was just a statue of nothing

dude

 

[Blood Diamonds]

That face is fucked

 

[Drkirby]

It's just a random street artist.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

I don't know what you all are talking about, that looks like Pikachu to me.

TPC can't even let Pokemon themed parties exist. This will be gone within days if they get wind of it.

I wish it would stay though. At least someone thought to make the neighborhood look better, and Pikachu looks far better than a trash filled hole in the ground.

 

[Jarsonot]

Apparently there were footprints of the installers at first, but have since mysteriously disappeared, leaving police baffled.

 

[Salty Rice]

Its better than nothing?

Its better than a Mighty No. 9 statue thats for sure.

 

[Nanashrew]

Why is it pulling the Pokkén/Heichachi pose?

Harada infusing some traits into the Pokemon in Pokken.

 

[SalvaPot]

I'll admit I like it, weird form and all.

 

[GulAtiCa]

That's kinda awesome. lol

 

[massoluk]

Here's hoping history repeats itself.

 

[_illmatic_]

It's just a random street artist.

That's what I was thinking. Random artist.

 

[plainr_]

I love PIkachu but that is one ugly ass statue.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Is this going to be the Pokestop where you catch Pikachu?

 

[eXistor]

It's ugly as all hell, but I like the randomness.

 

[Neiteio]

That's awesome!

 

[Grisby]

That Pikachu has seen some shit.

 

[NegativeCero]

Sure, why not! When does Detroit officially get Robocop?

 

[Thud]

Danny Devitochu

 

[Akiller]

It's not a Pikachu you guys, it's clearly this

 

[NH Apache]

Right down the street from my office. People have been swarming over this thing all day.

 

[Nostremitus]

This is a very sad world we live, when something as harmless as a statue can be considered a threat.

[Dreavus]

Looks like one of Pikachu's poses from Pokken

 

[The Real Abed]

Well it looks better than the "Old worn out tires" statue that was there before.

 

[Seik]

That Heihachi pose

Exactly, that's awesome!

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Digimon Cyber Sleuth 2?

 

[cordy]

Yeah that's the Pokken Pikachu pose.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Too bad it looks like butt

 

[Art Vandilay]

There's a lot of hate in here. Somebody probably did it for fun and for free. It looks good enough to me considering there was nothing in it for the artist(s).

 

[Naughty_Doge]

Ugliest Pikachu ever.

 

[Greddleok]

That's a Pikachu?

Why does it have a beak?

 

[Pyrrhus]

That's a Pikachu?

Why does it have a beak?

Beakachu

 

[Reverend Funk]

How can you tell its a satue? Are they sure?

 

[Possumowner]

Good stuff,though it's not quite Pikachu

 

[inner-G]

Well, it's an improvement over a hole in the ground with trash in it, at least.

I think the trash was a DuChamp installation

 

[pelicansurf]

That's a Pikachu and a Pug mix.

 

[Mudcrab]

Fucking gamers and their stealth civic beautification

"Beautification"

 

[BoosterDuck]

Where did that Pikachu's hands go?

 

[Vhalyar]

This is a very sad world we live, when something as harmless as a statue can be considered a threat.

It's a threat to good taste and the sense of sight.

 

[clemenx]

Lol. It's better than literally a hole in the ground. Pretty cool.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Looks like the Pikachu from Pokkén honestly

Also my phone autocorrected "Pokken" with the accent over the "e" and it's kind of weird. Never added that word into my phone dictionary

 

[notaskwid]

Not nearly cute enough.

 

[Falchion]

That's so cool, hope it becomes permanent.

 

[What A Time To Be Alive]

Honestly doesnt look that bad to me

 

[V-Faction]

 

[SolVanderlyn]

That's Pikachu's delinquent cousin, Punkachu.
