IDK if this is a repost but I think it needs to be heard on this site

I don't think it's true. If it is though then that would be sad since she looks like a nice person, and of course very talented. I would demand PC have an official Pikachu Mourning day if she really has died. o_o

If it were true, then I'd expect it to be all over the news (especially in Japan). If anyone on PC is currently living in Japan then maybe they can cast some light onto this.

I think I'll move this to the right forum: Pokemon TV Show and Movies.

The lack of Japanese news stories covering it would mean that this is some viral, false piece of information.
