The expression on Pikachu's face says it all. lol

And i always thought he was a boy...Such a chimo, pikachu, such a chimo

Haha WOW. I agree. Absolutely the worst opening for an inflatable bouncer EVER. The younger kids are completely ignorant of things like this, but I hardly doubt the adults or older kids were that oblivious...o_______o

lmao, yes horrible opening

They could have just placed a big pokeball infront of him/she/it and then had the opening there... it would at least be less crude looking. Still this is hilarious.

The thing I'm most concerned about is how closely that entrance resembles the female anatomy. なにこれ!

*Off-Topic: I just thought of this when I saw this article, but I wanted to know if ぴか was an actual word used in Japanese to represent *sparkle*. If I'm wrong, please confirm this. I can't think of the name of what these words are called, but they're usually said with repeated syllables.

Example: ぶりぶり (cutesy) or むずむず (itchy)

Kurisu:

I think that's what we're all worried about, haha.

And, yeah, ぴかぴか is totally acceptable as describing something that sparkles.

ぴかぴかチュー！

なんだそれ？あんな入り口は・・・　あの子供は分かんないけど僕が親だったら怒るようになります・・・　ポケモンはダメ★

...(speechless)...

That's one big sex toy...

Well, at least we know its gender.

Ahh... well, I guess what you think it resembles really is a doorway for children, so actually it's kinda lifelike?

there's always the OTHER hole...

I always had faith that the Japanese knew had to make the best use out of any/all of the orifices

ピカチュのおまつこがあの子供たちを食べしまった！　（＊　　A　　＊）

ahaha cute... pikachu must be so happy..

Who cares what it resembles? The only people who are offended by it are the ones who -think- of it that way. Its simply a doorway which easily closes so kids don't bounce out, if you make it into something other than that, then your own mind is what is offensive to you.

Demono:

It's not that I find it offensive, I just find it ridiculous/hilarious. I know this is childish, but it's very bad placement for something that looks the way it does.

ewww. weirdest opening EVER!! whoever made this should be shot!

> Am I making a big deal out of nothing?

Well, since you ask, yes. Or rather:

Giant inflatable Pikachus: cool!
Entrance looks like a vulva:
I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it, but so what?

It seems to me that you and everyone who is shocked (shocked!) by this is being a prude.

> Or is this really as weird and twisted as I think it is?

Everything is, I guess.

> How could anyone have thought that this was a good idea?

Well, it's a common design in nature to have small beings coming out of the belly/guts/uterus of a large friendly beast.

> Couldn’t they have made a regular-looking doorway

Perhaps, but it would have been more work and a less elegant design. Anyway, for mammals, the vulva is as regular a doorway as it gets (along with the mouth and nose; the anus is more one-way).

There's something hypocritical and self-fulfilling about prudery: you seem to be saying this is a bad decision, not because it's shocking in itself (few things are), but because it can be seen as shocking by prudes (which of course you're not, but whose mindset you can imagine). Won't anyone think of the children? Missionaries busily reforming native cultures must have been like that. It's the kind of bizarre thinking that brought Janet Jackson's breast to the world's attention. Thanks a lot!

I sentence you to a viewing of Courbet's "Origin of the World" (nsfw or prudes)

End of rant (wow, sorry!). And thanks for the cool pic.

Ah well, perhaps I do have a sick mind and assume everyone else does, too. Still, you've gotta take a side if you're going to show something like this, and I'll stand by the one I chose.

PURE EVIL GENIUS.
When I looked at the photo, I really first thought "what the hell, that looks like the've put a c*** on pikachu!", but then I was compelled to think otherwise...
Shame on you for bringing my perverted mind back to the lead.

ohhh, impresionante, hasta donde llega la estupidez humana?? :P

Well it is a bounce designed for children, so unless a parent decided to suddenly fill their child's mind with perverted nonsense a kid would otherwise be oblivious. In any case, it is probably the cheapest way to manufacture such an object. I suppose that japan was counting on Americans being a little more mature. It is a shame you guys had to prove them wrong.

Do you think it has a back door?

Wow, this is the most heretic thing I have ever seen. I told my church about this, and they said that's why pokemon isn't allowed in sunday school: it's too sexual. Thanks a lot, douche Satans.

Anon:

Sorry, but you seem to have missed the bit about the source of this snark. It's a Japanese blog. If you scroll down a bit, you'll see that many of the very Japanese commenters are also laughing (or "w"ing, as the case may be) their immature little butts off right along with me. I may not be right, yes, but at least I have company.

My brother was laughing when he saw this o.o

We have someone speaking for an entire country now? Get off your high horse. I don't think anyone (at least me) will dispute the cost saving measures of the design, nor the inability of a child to process the sexual connotations of the opening. Whats wrong joking about it as mature individuals? Personally, I don't see a huge problem with the position of the opening. But, internet must be serious business. I'm sorry we proved YOUR expectations wrong.

Anyway, my Japanese friends found it amusing (They were the ones that first mentioned it).

what part of Japan was this in? Anyway, I always knew Pikachu was a girl, you could hear it in his squeaky little voice. Hey, atleast hes coming out.....

Wow this is naughty! GO POKE BALL!

Do I cry now or later :/

@Salem

You can cry once you are inside Pikachu.

hahahaha it is hard ! can they breath inside ?

OMFG! ROFL!

What on earth where they thinking, that's a bit too far forward...

My problem is not the entrance.

My problem is WHY HAVE I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO SEE ONE OF THESE!? =D That thing is awesome! I want one!! -is still a YOUNG child at heart-

I didnt even relize until I began readin. xD
IThe placement of the entrance is jsut... unnecessary lol.
Perhaps the side would have been better?? =)

yeah...
I reckon its pretty scrued up for it being what it is...
a kids programme
all i wanna know is who designed that they must either be seroiusly stupid
or have issues.

My god pikachu looks so happy...

I will never look at picachu the same way again

hey i bet it was a hit with boy picachu
