Raichu cosplayer uses Marriage Proposal
by JC Fletcher 
{ Nov 14th 2009 at 7:05AM } 
Belle, or "PikaBelleChu," is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records: Gamer Edition for her massive Pikachu memorabilia collection, and Herbert met her by staging a Pokemon auction. So while we might be tempted to laugh, it would seem that the pursuit of 'em all is a major component of this couple's lives.
And now that they've done this -- a proposal in Pikachu and Raichu outfits, all floppy fake mouse ears on their hats and yellow glove slipped off to try on the ring that came out of the Pokeball -- we believe that the world's quota for Pokemon-themed proposals has just been filled.
By the way, it was super effective. See the moment after the break.

Wow. Just... wow.
Ashitaka @ Nov 14th 2009 7:59AM
That seems to be the best way to describe it, yeah.

If Meowth is the best man at the wedding, I will kill myself.

That's a big bitch.

Wow is right. I haven't seen Paranormal Activity but I'm pretty sure this was scarier.
Mika101 @ Nov 14th 2009 12:15PM
I think "wow" is what everyone is thinking but i am also thinking "sad" is the right word. What are they 40 and at a pokemon convention or whatever it is. Yup that is sad.
Moris @ Nov 14th 2009 1:59PM
I applaud them for having the guts to show off what they love. I could care less how old they are.
If everyone cared about what everyone else thought, what kind of world would this be :P

There's a thing about being yourself and bucking trends. And that goes so far. Then there's a thing where you're cutting vaginas into teddy bears at Toys R Us before having your way with it, and that's about the level of wrong as the couple pictured here.

@Moris
the answer = the world we live in
TonyTheTiger831 @ Nov 14th 2009 7:37PM
I feel good for them that they got married but really this way is just kinda sad.
xbox420king @ Nov 14th 2009 10:14PM
Poor kid is going to turn out all ugly and obese
Harrie @ Nov 14th 2009 7:19AM
This is gonna be the nerdiest marriage ever
Who else thinks Prof. Oak is gonna be the priest?
Back to topic, why does Joystiq post shit like that?
Katana Master @ Nov 14th 2009 7:37AM
why not?
Prof. Von Manifest (aka the caterpillar in your buttermilk) [PSN: Manifest37] @ Nov 14th 2009 7:38AM
They post to teach us about the creatures of our planet.
"Damn nature, you scary!!
That thing come by my house, I kill it!!"
Harrie @ Nov 14th 2009 7:46AM
The makers of Pokémon would turn around in their graves if they were already dead
heyo007 @ Nov 14th 2009 9:51AM
Harrie, if they see this, I think they'll still die a little inside.
Either way, good for these two people. Congrats!
JJ Rooster @ Nov 14th 2009 10:07AM
they post it so you can laugh and feel better about yourself.
Harrie @ Nov 14th 2009 7:23AM

Harrie @ Nov 14th 2009 7:24AM
vote down, damn comment posted twice
MystileArmor @ Nov 14th 2009 9:16AM
I was kind of going to vote it down regardless...
Harrie @ Nov 14th 2009 11:31AM
what do you mean with kind of?
MystileArmor @ Nov 14th 2009 11:40AM
Sorry for the confusion, with "kind of" I meant "You're a fucking idiot, Harrie"
Harrie @ Nov 14th 2009 11:44AM
So what you wanted to say is
"I was You're a fucking idiot, Harrie going to vote it down regardless..."
Who's the fucking idiot there?

RAICHU is evolving! Into... HUSBAND!
Aerothorn @ Nov 14th 2009 7:25AM
WIN
Ryoga Vee @ Nov 14th 2009 7:56AM
Just wait till there are lil Pichus running around.
LaughingTarget @ Nov 14th 2009 8:12AM
It would sadden me if she started tapping B during the evolution.
edes @ Nov 14th 2009 6:00PM
But they can't have sex until they get to a daycare...
Donald @ Nov 14th 2009 7:51AM
At least this couple will know where their Pichu come from.
Ryoga Vee @ Nov 14th 2009 7:55AM
Not as bad as the two FFXI cosplayers that got married after meeting in the game.
Avatar @ Nov 15th 2009 2:41PM
That happens in WOW too.
stephaninator @ Nov 15th 2009 6:13PM
That happens far too often in WoW*
mister bean @ Nov 14th 2009 8:00AM
... good grief, that's fucking pathetic. it's not often i feel sorry for people, but i can't help but pity those two utter losers. i mean, seriously, what the actual fuck?
Aerothorn @ Nov 14th 2009 8:02AM
Please tell me you're happily married.
LaughingTarget @ Nov 14th 2009 8:12AM
Seeking happiness is totally not worth doing apparently.
MystileArmor @ Nov 14th 2009 10:45AM
See, I feel the exact opposite. Not often do you see people who don't give a shit about what others think of them, and do whatever makes them happy.
You, however, come off as being a fucking sheep that probably bought a pair of those fucking rubber clogs whenever that was popular.
I guess my definition of loser is different then yours.
Markez @ Nov 14th 2009 1:06PM
AHEM, er...
*hides Miley Cyrus crocs*
Jason B. @ Nov 14th 2009 8:00AM
This reminds me of the girl at CompUSA/Tigerdirect in Chicago who dressed up as Pikachu for Halloween.
NintendoJunkie @ Nov 14th 2009 4:05PM
...and in other news: Compusa's in store customer service is as shitty as ever!

POKéMANIACS BELLE & CHRIS would like to battle!
Xero @ Nov 14th 2009 12:33PM
and by "battle", i mean sex.
aang1818 @ Nov 15th 2009 5:44PM
Chris used Harden
Chris used Tackle
Chris used String Shot
Oh wait that's Caterpie.......
Rock Fistpump @ Nov 14th 2009 8:16AM
"By the way, it was super effective."
Oh, Joystiq.
Premature ejaculation man @ Nov 14th 2009 8:27AM
Why has noone said that this is shocking news?
That Guy @ Nov 14th 2009 8:35AM
They were too stunned for words.
LaughingTarget @ Nov 14th 2009 8:38AM
It's hard to make a pun when you're captivated by how sparks fly when they're together in the room.
Kadamon @ Nov 14th 2009 9:46AM
It's simply electric, isn't it?
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 14th 2009 10:54AM
Shocking. Positively shocking.
F1: Basu Gasu Bakuhatsu @ Nov 14th 2009 1:23PM
I'm sure everything will turn out positive for these two.
