18. Character Progression - Pikachu from Nintendo's Pokemon (Pez Roan)

Nintendo has released some incredible franchises over the years,  Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, etc...  but few have become a worldwide phenomenon quite like Pokemon!  With cute characters, collecting, and everything from video games to anime to cards, it would be difficult to find anyone who doesn't know about the series.  And, of all 807 current pokemon, none are more recognizable than Pikachu!  This electric mouse is currently starring in the hit movie, Detective Pikachu (with some help from Ryan Reynolds) but, to this week's guest, he'll always be Ash Ketchum's loyal partner!
