Pikachu Libre is a costumed version of the Cosplay Pikachu from Pokémon Omega Ruby / Alpha Saphire.
Bio[edit | edit source]
If and when the player chooses to forego the usual gruesome animal fights in favor the fabulous Pokémon Contest, they will be approached by an NPC that will gift them a Cosplay Pikachu. The latter is a female version of your usual electric rat that can be put into a variety of different outfits; none of which really matter because the only outfit a reasonably sophisticated player will go for is the wrestling costume.
This gives you Pikachu Libre – the masked Pokémon luchador with a mysterious past, and the tendency to make it rain flying presses like a pint-sized mix between Hawlucha and Jimmy Snuka. Already a fan favorite in its original appearance, its further appearance as a playable fighter in the "Tekken-but-with-Pokémon" spin-off Pokkén elevated it to a downright memetic status. Viva La Pikachu Ensmacerada!
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Season 2[edit | edit source]
Pikachu Libre debuted during 8chanmania XLI, where Meowth serving as its trainer/promoter. The first fights of the electric wrestling rat against Ran Yakumo and Yuuka Kazami were met with remarkable success, but it then picked up an opponent far too large for it when it faced its fellow Pokemon Wailmer.
Libre had another successful run at 8chanmania XLIX, this time without a promoter. After a flying rollup pin on fellow masked wrestler Neptuneman and knocking out CDI Link with a Wild Charge stunner, she made it to the quarter finals. Still struggling against truly giant opponents, she was pinned in the quarter final by the one and only Crazy Bus.
Her third try during 8chanmania LV was snipped short by Citizen Snips, where she was soon revealed to not be an actual Pikachu, but rather a Poké Kid NPC that dressed up as Pikachu Libre.
Pikachu Libre's last stint was in the tag-team tournament of 8chanmania LXV, where she teamed with an Egyptian cat that lacks phallic envy. They won against Ran Yakumo (who still held a grudge against the lucha rat) and her kitty Chen, but couldn't quite put up with the iron fists of Carlos Diaz and his deceptively small ally, Agent 00.
