This is awesome. I'd love if an unknown artist place a videogame statue in one of those places where nothing's there.

But if I had to choose a Pokemon statue it would have to be Raichu.

Rai...what?

It's a gym

Cool lol. I would love more of Pokemon statue everywhere lol. Eevee family statue pliz.^_^

 

[Daingurse]

That Pikachu is about to take some names and kick some ass. Goddamn.

 

[Calvero]

that's pretty cool. i'd enjoy seeing that pop up outta nowhere.

The best part is that the sculptor probably thinks they're the next Banksy.

wtf is this weird ass hate

 

[casiopao]

That Pikachu is about to take some names and kick some ass. Goddamn.

Don't forget that he will also chew Bubble gums.^_^

 

[Jack The Nipper]

a lot of you have very high standards, looks pretty cool to me...

That is ugly ass hell.

I mean why? it really is not bad at all but ugly as hell?

It looks pretty good overall and considering the size I would not even say bad at all

 

[BreezyLimbo]

That's pretty awesome, especially since it was apparently just a defunct fountain with tires on it

 

[Inviusx]

I don't get the hate. It's a cool stylised take on Pikachu and his pose is awesome. Props to the artist.

 

[Dice//]

Rai...what?

Honestly I feel Raichu is probably the most forgotten monster in that series.

 

[tauroxd]

Honestly I feel Raichu is probably the most forgotten monster in that series.

He is... I still think that some day GF will retcon him as a Pikachu evolution and make him a Basic Pokémon with no evolution.

And this is super cool... Why the hate? People prefer the tire in the hole look? Doesn't make any sense.

 

[SoundPulse]

Honestly I feel Raichu is probably the most forgotten monster in that series.

I've always gotten the feeling Gamefreak regrets giving Pikachu an evolution.

which sucks because raichu's awesome

 

[spannicus]

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

True dat

 

[Tom Nook]

How long before Nintendo sues the city, or before City Council decides No Fun Allowed

I hope neither party removes the statue. The statue brings advertisement to the game and brings more people outside, maybe even tourism to see it.

 

[degoose]

Looks like a chubby squirrel

I thought that was what Pikachu was.

 

[Samimista]

I think it looks alright except for the nose. It looks like Pikachu has a beak.

 

[notoriousKTR]

 

[TirMcGrey]

I like it, a big improvement over the hole

 

[figadapaura]

Edit: wtf is that? ^

It definitely looks better than before.

 

[everyday math]

Whelp

 

[Samimista]

.

Nightmare fuel.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Haggared Pikachu is a perfect name.

 

[AlucardGV]

Nightmare fuel.

it's no worse than strokemon

Why is Pikachu acting all bad ass and not cute?

localized for the US

 

[Jarmel]

A Pikachu worthy of Devito.

 

[George Claw M.D.]

Why does it have tits coming out of its neck.

 

[Samimista]

it's no worse than strokemon

Lol, I regret Googling that up.

 

[shandy706]

At least the decoration matches the environment.

 

[Prevolition]

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

People been suspicious ever since the Trojan Horse.

 

[sangreal]

neat.. too bad it's fiberglass

 

[Wandering Robot]

Now I have a reason to drive to the Garden District, I guess. This amuses me.

 

[timetokill]

I think it's cool. You guys are no fun

 

[lt519]

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

This post needs more credit.

 

[kiuo]

Why does it have tits coming out of its neck.

Gotdammit, can't un-see it anymore

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

Cool!

 

[Zubz]

Why do people keep talking about a take-down. It's a Gym in Pokèmon GO; I feel like it's official.

I don't know what the endgoal is here, but it looks cool!

 

[pizzacat]

Looks like Danny devito

 

[Zubz]

Looks like Danny devito

If this is a Detective Pikachu promotion, it's working for me.

 

[deriks]

That reminds me this

 

[ActWan]

That's really cool actually

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Statue of an otherworldly being mysteriously falls from the sky? Clearly a site for religious worship. The mecca of the church of latter day pokemon trainers.

 

[Ydelnae]

 

[Kyzer]

I hope neither party removes the statue. The statue brings advertisement to the game

Wow what a service to society. Brb gonna spray paint my company logo on the bench nearby


Lol I like the statue tho

 

[Chaos17]

I'm amazed that no one noticed this during the night because you need something to track that statue out of the truck. But I've to admit, that statute look old enough to think it has always been there for me.

I hope it stays.

 

[StillEdge]

Banksy at it again.

 

[Atomski]

Alright everyone dissing this I wana see your dyi metal Pokemon statues. Show us how it's done.

 

[Amalthea]

Better than a hole filled with tires at least.

 

[Rellik]

Honestly I feel Raichu is probably the most forgotten monster in that series.

Horrible way to treat the superior Pokemon too.

 

[RedToad64]

That reminds me this

Hmmm... yeah, it does fit the style of Detective Pikachu. The weird "beak" part especially.

 

[Rimon-hanit]

Finally.

 

[nubbe]

it is awesome

Wish we had one in Stockholm

 

[Tom Nook]

New Orleans police tell ABC News they have no plans to move the statue.

Nice
