Pokémon Introduces ‘Pikachu Pluma’: A Direct Tribute to Mexican Culture

Pokémon is one of the most popular franchises worldwide and although it has some of its characters inspired by or with reference to Latino culture and specifically the Mexican one, it had not made a very direct one like this Thursday with the presentation of “Pikachu Pluma”.

And it is that from his official Facebook page he shared the image of his main mascot ‘Pikachu‘, but with the hairstyle and cut of the singer of corridos lying down ‘Peso Featherweight’.

“Compa…” wrote the account next to the photo of the mentioned character. It is precisely with that word that one of the songs that have made the Jalisco singer most famous begins: ‘Ella Baila Sola’.

‘SHE CAPTURES ALONE’

With more than 37,000 reactions, mostly “amusing me,” the publication went viral and has been shared more than 23,000 times, some of them among groups or pages related to the franchise.

The reality is that the image of that ‘Featherweight Pikachu’ is an image of the character that in his video game ‘Let’s Go Pikachu’ released for the Switch console in 2018 could change the style of cut and hairstyle, this being one of the available.

“Peso Pika”, wrote the Latin video game page, Metapod for President.

While another of the fans of the video game even wrote a more complete sentence making the “clash of the two worlds”. While the user identified as Aaron Hermo wrote: “My trainer, what do you think of that poke waifu? I like the one that goes around catching alone for me”, simulating the original lyrics that Featherweight interprets together with Armed Link.

Previously, Pokémon made references in its characters to elements such as mariachi or wrestling, in the pokemon ‘Ludicolo’ and ‘Hawlucha’.

ADDING POPULARITY

The next expansion pass of the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet video game will hit stores. The first part will be available for purchase in the fall of this year, while the second part will come out in the winter with new characters and missions for the successful Nintendo Switch video game.

Featherweight reached the peak of success with the collaboration of ‘Ella Baila Sola’ since after that he began to lead streaming platforms such as Spotify or YouTube, he was also invited to be the artist on Jimmy’s star night show Fallon on American television.
