How To Pick Pikachu As Your Starter In Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go is in full swing, and although servers have been up and down over the past few days, people can't wait to get their hands on the lovable little creatures. What you may not know is that you can pick the adorable (and popular) Pikachu as your starting Pokémon instead of Charmander, Bulbasaur, or Squirtle!
While the process is easy, it's not something you can figure out intuitively - the method is sort of a secret. Join Dan Tack, Wade Wojcik, and Kyle "Pikachu I choose you!" Hilliard as they run down the details in the short video below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
