Pikachu is the visible face of the franchise Pokémon. Nintendo uses it as one of its main mascots alongside characters like Mario and Link. Its charisma and recognizable design have made it the most famous Pokémon, being the protagonist of the anime alongside Ash. Even so, many fans claim that Pikachu’s tail ended in black. Is this true?
Did Pikachu have a yellow or black tail?
Totally yellowThe truth is that Pikachu has never had that black finish that many claim to have seen. This is the Mandela effecta phenomenon that describes a false memory shared by many people. This also occurs in the Monopoly franchise, where many claim to have seen Mr. Monopoly wearing a monocle, even though he never did; or in Star Wars, where fans claim to have heard Darth Vader say “Luke, I am your father,” when he actually says, “No, I am your father.”
What do you think about this curious phenomenon? You can leave your opinion in the comments. Pokémon is still making waves lately, as Nintendo has sued the developers of Palworld.
