With its rising popularity, my saying that my favourite Pokémon is Mimikyu feels like a much more basic answer than it once did.
The little creepy dude who is a fairy and ghost type in the games has always appealed to me for its sad design and the echoes of horror tropes in his disguise.

This is because what’s under the disguise is supposed to be hideous and horrifying in nature.
Well, thanks to the recent, mammoth, leak of information coming out of The Pokémon Company and its partners, we now know exactly what’s under the Pikachu cosplay.

The big expressive eyes on the blob make it even more sad-looking, too.
I’m not sure if I prefer the fact that it’s just a sad-looking creature or the myth that it was some hideous being.
The latter makes Mimikyu seem scarier and a bit spooky, but its actual form (if this isn’t a fake) does fit the sadness thePokémonfeels.
Either way, I wish I could unsee this.
