Pokemon are real, and you can buy them on Yahoo! Auctions

We all know online auctions sell crazy stuff, but real live Pokemon never seemed plausible, until now! According to TokyoMango, some poke-breeder in Japan attempted to sell 20 real Pikachus on Yahoo! Auction for $920 million. Here is a rough translation of the listing:

We capture each one after your order, so we guarantee its health! These are Pikachus plucked straight from the natural Pikachu forest, so they're of much higher quality than ones you'd get from a breeder or in other regions. Great for those who are lacking in good conversations with family, who want solace if living alone, who need a new hobby, who love cute and trendy things, or who are looking for a present for a girlfriend or a child. Limited edition! Limited to only 20! First come first serve! We'll include a 60-minute video on how to raise a Pikachu if you buy 3 months worth of Pokemon food.


What a deal! I don’t know about you guys, but I know the Pikachus from Pikachu forest evolve two times faster than ones found outside your house. But $920 million is a bit much; maybe for a Mewtwo, but Pikachu no. What did we learn today?

Pokemon are real.
