Shokotan in Pokemon Movie

Shokotan in Pokemon MovieWhat happens when a cute geeky girl plays a cute little Pokemon? You get a cuteness overload. That’s what happens as Japanese otaku queen Shoko Nakagawa voices a female Pichuu with a quirky left ear in the upcoming Pokemon: Arceus ni Semaru E movie.

Apparently, her character gets friendly with Pikachu. Yup, Pikachu gets all the girls.

Happy 21st Birthday, Alodia!

Whenever I doubt that the Web upsets the oppressive order of old media, whenever I doubt that the new media landscape gives a powerful voice to even the oddest of oddballs, whenever I doubt that one person can become a media entity unto herself, whenever I doubt that a nerd can become a star, whenever I doubt that today’s geeky is tomorrow’s cool, I look at this girl’s work and smile with renewed faith. Happy twenty-first birthday to Filipina gamer-blogger-cosplayer idol Alodia Gosiengfiao.
