If you’ve ever wanted to talk with your own Pikachu the way that Ash does in the animated Pokémon series and have Pikachu respond to you, then this toy robot Pikachu from Takara Tomy is what you’ve been waiting for.
As reported on Natalie, the pocket-sized toy is called Hey HelloPika. At just 10cm high it runs on two AAA batteries. As you call Pikachu’s name, its cheeks will light up as it turns its head in the direction your voice is coming from and will respond to you. Pikachu’s voice is provided by Ikue Ōtani, the original voice actress from the animated series. Depending on what you say, Pikachu will also nod and shake its head. Because of its size, you can take this Pikachu out with you anywhere, with its arms designed to clip onto pockets or bags.
With a retail price of ¥3,229 (around £22 / $29.50), Hey HelloPika is available to pre-order from Tomy right now and is scheduled to be shipped out from 4 August 2018. Tomy does not ship outside of Japan, so if you really want to tell Pikachu how your day was, then you’ll have to consider using a deputy service (Tomy recommends using Buy Smart Japan).
