Cosplay Pikachu
 
http://31.media.tumblr.com/be03d7c4909dc2f1bce90fd367eecea1/tumblr_n8pmebkBxQ1rsrk2xo9_500.gif

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, we receive this cosplaying cutie the first time we enter the Pokemon Contest Spectacular. Each form is themed after one of the contest categories (from left to right, Clever, Beauty, Cool, Cute, and Tough), and has a different attack that no other Pikachu can learn.
  • What did you guys think of the idea of Cosplay Pikachu overall?
  • Did you use her on your team during your play through?
  • Did she become one of your contest stars?
  • Do you have a favorite form?

I never used Cosplay Pikachu until the post-game (partially because I never got around to enter a contest hall until then), so I can't really say much on the front. I've always thought that the design was adorable, and I've been meaning to test her out in some contests. I'd have to say that the Clever form is my favorite--the glasses and hair are soooo cute.

To be real honest I'm not a fan of these forms, they're too much for my taste. Simple decorations like a ribbon, a top hat akin to those of Props from Pokemon Musical would be great enough.

Fortunately we aren't forced to use it like Korrina's Lucario from XY. :)

Hikamaru November 7th, 2015 4:45 PM

I did use this cutie as part of some Contest plays, but wasn't really a member of my main team since I had other Pokemon planned by the time I was able to obtain her. My fave of the costume forms is Belle, since it's blue (yeah I love blue) and she gets the best special move of the bunch, because it's a move that can actually handle Ground-types.

Yea, Belle Pikachu is my favorite too! I've always thought it was so cool (no pun intended) that we now have a Pikachu who can learn Icicle Crash o:

She does pretty good in contests! I've put mine through the ranks in the clever and the beauty categories, pretty nice how versatile she is, getting to learn different moves based on the current form.

And yes, Pikachu PhD is way too cute!

Aisu November 8th, 2015 4:50 AM

I liked Cosplay Pikachu; it was interesting to have a Pokemon on the team with a multitude of design objects to say the least, and as an artsy person I find that very endearing. I added her to the team because I like Pikachu and needed an Electric-type to balance it out, and she never really let me down. I never used her for Contests because I...don't think I've entered an OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire Pokemon Contest; I dunno, never had the time or patience. My favorite form of hers was the default one she came with.

Sheep November 8th, 2015 7:56 AM

I love her! Adorable Pokémon. Really wish she was available in both genders though, or maybe you could have been given two which had their own forms based on gender. My boyfriend was pretty upset that it was female-only to the point where he just offered me his through trade haha.

Favorite is definitely Pikachu belle (beauty) because.. look at the cutie. <3 I love that dress and those cute girly eyes. The toughness form is also pretty rockin'.

The thing to note is that the "default" depends on your trainer's gender. Rock Star for male trainers and Pop Star for female trainers, who coincidentally wear those outfits in contests. You can easily change her form in any contest hall so all players will have access to all the costume forms regardless.

Kotone November 9th, 2015 9:15 AM

cosplay pikachu is very cute, but i never even used the pikachu in battle or in contests.

oops. xD

Bounsweet November 15th, 2015 4:14 PM

Love, love, LOVE Cosplay Pikachu! I've nicknamed mine Cospika, and have used it in every single replay I've done of my Alpha Sapphire version. I used her to win the Master Rank in all of the contests really early on, like within a week of the game's release too. I like the Pop Idol the most, but I use Belle more in-game because Icicle Crash is a great move.

Firox November 15th, 2015 9:52 PM

What did you guys think of the idea of Cosplay Pikachu overall?
They are fun to look at, some have cuter or awesomer design than others.
For me depends.

Did you use her on your team during your play through?

Nope, I already have my team planned from the start, so no place in my team

Did she become one of your contest stars?
Nope, I already bred 5 specific Pokemon for contest, so the cute Pikachu didn't made it into my contest teams

Do you have a favorite form?

I'm a Heavy Metal fan, so the Rock N' Roll Pika is my most favorite of all the forms.

Witchcraft November 15th, 2015 9:55 PM

Cosplay Pikachu sat on my team for awhile because I didn't put it in the PC and didn't have a full team. It is quite cute, would have been better if they'd given it better stats than a regular Pikachu though.
I do really like the pink outfit!

Loriania November 16th, 2015 8:54 AM

Cosplay Pikachu was on my team for a while in AS, and I only used it for one contest.

SamuraiPizzaCat November 16th, 2015 11:09 AM

Cosplay Pikachu is dead cute but sadly I had no room on my team to make her part of it. Plus I'm kinda weird, I only like having male Pokemon o.O Yes that does mean I have a very pretty boy Sylveon xD I made an exception for Latias but she's special <3

magicalgirlj November 16th, 2015 2:41 PM

Cosplay Pikachu is so cute. I named mine Miku like Hatsune Miku

Aww haha. How about the contests, did you use her for any of those? :o

Such cute names! I named mine Mankanshoku, after Mako Mankanshoku from Kill La Kill. The word translates to "dressed to the nines", and with the whole clothing theme in Kill La Kill, it was the first thing that came to mind ^^

So, did anybody else nickname their Cosplay Pikachu? If so, what nicknames did you guys choose? :o

I'm actually planning to as she is too cute to ignore :3 I've only done the beauty contests with my dude Altaria so far xD I'm thinking of nicknaming her too but this is something I'll probably concentrate on more once I've completed the main storyline.

Ooo I love Mako, she is my favorite Kill La Kill character.
Another reason I love cosplay Pikachu is because I am a cosplayer in real life

NinjaRaichu November 17th, 2015 12:33 PM

Its cute but I didnt want it in my team, in fact I actually went out and caught a regular pikachu to replace it with (so cruel xD)
My favourite one is the rock n roll pikachu as its the only one who looks cool. Think I used it in a few contests to try it out but it was boxed quickly after.

PlatinumDude November 17th, 2015 12:45 PM

What did you guys think of the idea of Cosplay Pikachu overall?: It's a neat concept for Contest fans, as Cosplay Pikachu comes with all five of its contest stats near-max. Competitive, not so much, as even though Light Ball still works on it, its extreme frailty sucks.
Did you use her on your team during your play through?: I considered it, but didn't do it in the end.
Did she become one of your contest stars?: I mainly used it to beat the Cool Contests
Do you have a favorite form?: In terms of battling, Belle is the most useful. In terms of looks, Rock Star.

Tamashi_Seishiro November 18th, 2015 1:25 AM

What did you guys think of the idea of Cosplay Pikachu overall?-Strictly for contests.
Did you use her on your team during your play through?-Nope
Did she become one of your contest stars?-Many times actually :P
Do you have a favorite form?-The Rock Star Pikachu!

ImmortalDusk November 18th, 2015 1:57 AM

As soon as I got her she stayed in my party through 4 out of 5 of my E4 Romps

And my fav form is the Cool Form.

shroomish445 November 18th, 2015 2:29 AM

how cute are you guys pictures of pikachu tho

Ice November 18th, 2015 2:30 AM

Oh man, I completely forgot she was a thing. I basically boxed her immediately when I got her. I should get her out and see if I can win some contest with scientist Pikachu, haha

SamuraiPizzaCat November 20th, 2015 10:12 AM

What did you guys think of the idea of Cosplay Pikachu overall?- I thought the idea was pretty cool. Would have been nice to have a choice of Pokemon, not that Cosplay isn't cute :3
Did you use her on your team during your play through?-Not so far, only because my party was full already and no girls are allowed on my team strangely :/ I don't know why. Weird quirk of mine I guess.
Did she become one of your contest stars?-Not yet but I'm planning her to be ^_^
Do you have a favorite form?- Rock Star Pikachu for sure! Those eyebrows {XD}

DraconianWing November 20th, 2015 11:10 AM

I actually got Cosplay Pikachu just last week after trying out the Contest Spectaculars. Looking at her stats, I might just try and sweep all the Master Ranks with all the different forms. If it were based puraly on looks, my favorite form would be Libre (Tough). Not sure if she'll be any good in battles though.

LilBueno November 29th, 2015 8:26 PM

I loved that inclusion! Mine stayed on my team for a bit (got her to level 44 before I threw someone else in, can't remember who). Named her "Par-amor<3" (with an actual heart, not less than 3) and kept her mostly in Rock Star or Lucha forms.
I used only her for the contests and got all the ribbons.
I only wish I was able to put her in Pokebank. A generation should not have game specific Pokemon.

Remember that this isn't the first time we've had a Pokemon that could only be used in one game and cannot be traded away to another. Spiky-Eared Pichu in HG/SS was pretty much the same deal, except she had a slightly different moveset to most Pichu, and she literally couldn't be transferred anywhere outside of HG/SS.

Yes, Cosplay can be banked? Remove costume first, I think. Got four different right now...
I know between systems a trade for Cosplay can be done. There exist collectors...

Smiffy01 December 1st, 2015 8:47 AM

I've always enjoyed getting Cosplay Pikachu, both for contests and battling, prfer o use pikachu in battles though, contests just bore me to tears becuase their so easy to win with Cosplay Pikachu

Kaiyu December 1st, 2015 2:13 PM

At first I didn't really have much of a care for Cosplay Pikachu until after I defeated the Elite Four when I started participating in the contests. I like the idea of Cosplay Pikachu because of the costumes it can change to and the special move it can learn.

Poké Bean December 12th, 2015 11:58 PM

It's funny, when I first saw the adverts for the game I groaned at the concept of Cosplay Pikachu but it's truly become one of my fave things ever! I love that it's a female Pikachu getting the attention too and that she's being used again in Pokken! You can probably guess that my favourite is Libre! Though my favourite special move is Draining Kiss.

I named my Pikachu Diva at first but then renamed her Heart and she's won all the Contests and is never off my team! She has a ton of ribbons too including the really expensive ones (cuz she's worth it lol). I love the names you guys have come up with, especially Cospika :)

I'd really like to have the whole set, if I ever get Omega Ruby that'll definitely be my goal! I love the special Secret Base that has multiple ones!

Sukyandaru December 13th, 2015 7:13 AM

I think the cosplay Pikachu was a really cute thing to have included in the game, and so I'm currently using it as part of my AS team c:. Not sure if I'll swap her out later, but I'll definitely keep her around for contests, especially when I start doing more of them! My favourite costume in battles is the Belle one, as a Pikachu with Icicle Crash is just too good to pass up, hitting all those pesky Grass and Dragon types! But as for the design itself, the Idol Pikachu is just too adorable >~<.
Sadly my team is in need of a Surf user so I'm not certain whether or not I'll have to let her go :c.

FioriKikuchi December 15th, 2015 1:28 AM

Cosplay Pikachu is cute and I like that it can learn a special attack. I also like that it can change costumes. My favorite costume is the Belle one. I don't have it on my team right now but I will later add it.

acatfrommars January 5th, 2016 9:32 PM

Didn't even know about cosplay Pikachu until after I had beaten the game and still didn't use him or catch him. I still don't even really know how to get him if you do catch him. I like the designs of most of them though, my favorite is the rockstar one! Those red eyebrows are somethin else! xp

Poké Bean January 6th, 2016 12:00 AM

I finally got OR the other day and am halfway through my quest to get the full set! Luckily it doesn't take too long each time!

All you need to do is get scouted by Lisia in Slateport City and enter one contest with any Pokemon, then when you exit the dressing room afterwards a breeder will approach you and just gift you one!

Pretty cheeky when you think about it! She doesn't even ask! Or know if you're a good trainer! Just well dressed!

Sirenita55 January 6th, 2016 9:42 AM

What did you guys think of the idea of Cosplay Pikachu overall?- I liked the idea, it would be nice if they expand the concept to other Pokemon in the future.
Did you use her on your team during your play through?- To begin with, yes. I then switched her out in favour of Manectric.
Did she become one of your contest stars?- No, I'm planning to use Lopunny for the contests.
Do you have a favorite form?- Belle!!! <3

As Spoony said, you need to be discovered by Lisia, which is pretty much required to proceed through the game. However, you don't need to be forced to enter a Contest right away, so that's a plus if you think you're not ready for them yet.

Arjay January 11th, 2016 1:05 PM

What did you guys think of the idea of Cosplay Pikachu overall? I don't do contests, never did even on RSE, and I have no desire to ever do them so I have no opinion.
Did you use her on your team during your play through? No, boxed forever more.
Did she become one of your contest stars? See answer no. 1.
Do you have a favourite form? The cool one is pretty, uh, cool, I guess.

I do have one question that I never got around to finding out the answer to myself; Can you evolve it/breed from it?

Nope. You can't. It's one of those special Pokémon that you can't breed and can't even bring over to another game, similar to the Spiky Eared Pichu from HG/SS, like Hikamaru mentioned. Kinda weird that apparently wearing a costume makes it unable to evolve or breed, but meh, saves them the trouble of having to implement Cosplay Raichu I guess :P

3mma January 13th, 2016 6:50 AM

What did you guys think of the idea of Cosplay Pikachu overall? I think it was a great idea, though I wish we'd had a choice of pokemon, as @samuripizzacat said.
Did you use her on your team during your play through? I did use her, but then she became too weak for her own good. So I didn't.
Did she become one of your contest stars? No. I used rayquaza through pretty much the whole thing.
Do you have a favorite form? I like the one for cuteness and the one for beauty.
