For a long time, there’s been a rumor kicking around the Pokemon community that, when the franchise was being localized for the American market, they briefly considered giving Pikachu a pair of double-D funbags.

Of course, fans claimed that this rumor was ridiculous, likely based on a mistranslation of the word “chest.” However, Japanese outlet Game*Spark recently dug through some old interviews with Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara and discovered that, yes, they really did consider giving Pikachu a pair of flappy-slappies.

“When I first showed Pokémon to them, they told me it was too cute. The staff at Nintendo of America then suggested their own designs for the characters,” Ishihara explained. “So, for example, Pikachu was changed into a character shaped like a kind of a tabby cat with huge breasts.”

When asked if the design resembled “those girls who do Pikachu cosplays at anime conventions,” he affirmed, “Yes, exactly.”

Unfortunately for fans, those original drawings are lost media — though I’m going to guess that you won’t have to search the internet for long to find something similar.
