A rather large character was seen streaking through a Pitt Meadows mall this past weekend.
Its stature, colour, and shape were quite distinct, report onlookers.
Admittedly, it’s very existence in the Meadowtown Shopping Centre Saturday caused customers to turn their heads and take a second look.
It was a big, bright yellow Pikachu, a species of the Pokemon fictional gaming and movie creature, that was spotted walking around in the parking lot of the strip mall near the Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge border.
Admittedly, during COVID, there are not a lot of cosplay characters seen out and about mixing with the public because of mandatory social distancing. But this animated character managed to bring smiles to many people’s faces, while still maintaining a safe two-metre distance.
