Detective Pikachu for Nintendo 3DS piqued my interest when I first saw the trailer, mostly because it was unlike anything else in the Pokémon universe of games. A Pikachu with a grumpy, old-man personality? A Pikachu that’s a bit of a lech? It’s weird enough to prompt a closer look at the whodunit game from developer Creatures Inc. Will we solve the case?

Let’s take a romp in the PokéPark to find out what it’s all about.
Smiling is apparently the second best thing you can do with your lips. We wager DeviantArt user Paige Thompson may have found another wonderful use. Using old face paint she creates images of chameleons, crabs, foxes, pandas, and even Pikachu on her lips. She calls them her series of cute creatures, Animal-ipsticks. Take a look at her animal lip art after the jump.
