See this little guy? It’s real, according to some online seller from Japan. He auctioned off twenty of the Mouse Pokemon, promising to catch them one-by-one after the close of the auction to make sure they were 100% healthy. The closing price? ¥99,000,002,805,760. That’s nearly 918 billion US dollars.

Now, seeing as no single person on the planet has anywhere near $918 billion… that must mean a collective group of ignorant Pokemon enthusiasts forgot to notice that the popular Pikachu are very common in the newly popular land of Sinnoh. I wonder what the same group would pay for all the Exeggcute in my fridge.
