If you keep pikachu in low light and try to look at it from far away they kind of feel like demons lol. I had those plushies pokemons for my nephews and it was a good time at that point. I don't know about your side of the world but here Shopping malls and the big places are not that much crowd pulling anymore. No idea maybe pandemic lethargy is not yet out of people it seems. When I go out to such places during the weekends, they seem to be not so crowded like before.
