Big Pikachu Plush

THIS GUY. WAS MY FAVORITE PLUSH GROWING UP. I would take him places and photograph him on an old disposable camera in different situations. I'll add a picture if I can ever find the one I think I still have - Big Fat Pikachu on the swingset in my parents' backyard, posed to hold my old GameBoy Advance with Pokémon Yellow Version in it.

Oh yeah, we called him Big Fat Pikachu. Affectionately. Me and the neighbor kid would draw pictures of him on big playgrounds with lots of other pokémon. I wish I still had any of those; I have vivid memories of making them but can't describe them well enough in words.

I'm pretty sure Big Fat Pikachu was a gift from my grandma. I think she might have gotten him at some sort of bazaar as a surprise for me, if I remember right. There were a lot of bazaars around my hometown that had random pokémon toys when I was growing up.
