You know, she doesn't look 21 to me. Maybe it's because of the dozens of pikachus staring at me. Some odd effect that makes people look younger.

Or the stupid hat or her red Santa cheeks and the shirt?

Do I see a squirtle in there?

 

[KillerChi]

She looks like she's 8 or so... for the same reasons as everyone else. I can't imagine how much money she has made Nintendo over the years.

 

[Varine]

I didn't know they stilled made Pokemon. Thought they all moved on to Yougeo or whatever.

Honestly, this is really sad.

This woman has a passion. As long as her passion isn't hurting or offending people, none of us have any right to criticize her for doing what she likes to do.

 

[Ninva]

I wonder how this affects the family.

 

[Azlier]

Obviously it benefits them because the sheer number of stuffed animals eliminates the need for heating.
