When Pikachu visits Mashable, all work predictably stops
What happens when the Pokémon turn the tables and catch us?
It was just a normal Wednesday when Mashable esports reporter Kellen Beck and "resident nerd" Ben Fullon sat down to talk Pokémon: Sun & Moon on Facebook Live. But then, about five minutes in, things got weird.
A giant Pikachu appeared in the studio for... reasons. Doesn't matter why. Don't ask questions. The two new Pokémon games are out now for Nintendo 3DS, so Pikachu was in New York City to celebrate. Let's go with that.

The whole thing was captured on camera -- good thing we were doing that Facebook Live, eh? -- and you can see it now right here.
