For a franchise that's lasted 30 years already, Pokémon has mostly stuck with the same designs of its Gen 1 creatures since the '90s. Sure, there are new regional variants and gimmicks like Mega Evolution, and Pikachu has certainly gotten skinnier since the Kanto days, but the original designs have become so iconic, it's probably difficult for Pokémon to shake up their looks too much.
That being said, Pokémon has given us a lot of cool new looks for Pikachu over the years. Even the upcoming Pokémon Winds and Waves games showed off new designs for Pikachu that were fun and vacation-themed. As the series' mascot, Pikachu has gotten a lot of love (and new clothing) over the years. And now, we can add yet another new and official Pikachu design to that list.
The new design is thanks to the Pikachu Wedding: Wedding Kimono Pikachu (Male) Plush, which is a 9-inch plush available on Pokémon Center for $29.99. This version of Pikachu wears a "black montsuki kimono with two Poké Balls on the front," according to the official description, and makes a fun wedding gift. And yes, there's also a Wedding Dress (Female) version.
