This year's heightened epidemic of the Pokémon brand was very much appreciated for those who grew up in the '90s and early 2000s. Not only was a way for people to relive our childhood, but it also opened the door to being able to bond with this new generation of children by playing Pokémon Go. With Halloween right around the corner, what better way to show your love for the beloved game than to have some easy Pikachu costumes on hand to choose from?

Though everyone is stuck on finding rare Pokémon while playing the game, everyone knows that you can't be the best trainer out there if you haven't captured your the tiny yellow creature.
