Pokemon: Musashi and Kojiro

The main antagonists of the Pokemon anime and manga series, Musashi (Jessie) and Kojiro (James) have set out to steal Satoshi’s (Ash Ketchum’s) Pikachu whom they consider to be especially strong. They are known to use various disguises with Musashi wearing masculine clothing and Kojiro cross-dressing in extremely feminine attire. They almost always “blast off” whenever they are defeated by Satoshi.

Wow, who would have thought anyone could pull off Musashi’s hair that well? Thanks to Gracie for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to Fang Shinobi for commenting that Ryoko is Jessie and Malro is James!

2011 Cosplay Calendar for Charity

When Natalie Parisi sent me an email regarding a 2011 Cosplay Calendar for Charity, I had to admit, I was quite skeptical at first. Mainly because I’ve had many requests like this in the past, and none seemed legitimate aside from this one:

Pokemon: Satoshi

In the beginning of the hit anime series Pokemon, Ash Ketchum is only 10-years-old and started out as a beginner Pokemon trainer in Pallet town. He failed in receiving one of the three Pokemon (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle) Professor Oak was giving to hopeful youngsters because he was too busy dreaming about becoming a world famous Pokemon trainer. His eagerness made Professor Oak consider giving Ash his last remaining Pokemon, the unruly and now infamous Pikachu for his starter Pokemon, allowing Ash to begin his journey.

Awesome cosplay! I love how much the cosplayer paid attention to the details of Ash’s costume down to the plush Pikachu! I have one exactly like it, but I doubt I could cosplay Ash just as well. Thanks to Tamari for sending this in!

Pokemanz...ftw!k

I'm gonna be the very best, like no one ever was....

To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside

Pokemon!

...Okaaaaaaaaaaaay. Anyway!

I've really gotten back into Pokemon, if you haven't noticed. It all started when I tried out Pokemon Diamond. You see, I stopped after Silver. I stopped playing most handheld games period. While in Texas, Robby gave me his nice DSlite he never plays and let me have it. Along with it came some games! First I was playing Spirit Tracks, which I need to finish and then along came Pokemon and I tried it just for the heck of it. Minutes turned to hours, and hours..days. LOL.

Yeah. I love playing pokemon games. Our little town even has a new game store with games and I went over there yesterday to check it out. Robby bought us a game called RedSteel and Pokemon XD (Gale of Darkness)... It's okay for a gamecube game..~

I can't wait until I can make more pokemon gijinka costumes!

The next ones will be: Abra, Mudkip and Finneon...most likely.
