Before that, I only ever saw a jagged black tip. Pikachu's ears have a black tip on them. I watched Pokemon during the entire time! I have a plushie from when i was a child that has the black tip as well.

Find Pikachu in the Pokédex Explore More Cards Pikachu. Until I watched the new Pokémon anime Sun and Moon and noticed the Japanese release episodes had leaked mistakes/crossover of Pikachu's true design!!

They have long yellow ears that are tipped with black. There is residue from several different timelines. They are yellow rodent-like creatures with powerful electrical abilities. Therefore, it plays tricks on your brain to include a black/brown tip on his tail.I know it wasn't there because his tail always looked funny. Lots of pokemon have stupid design decisions they'd probably do over if they could, and that is probably why pichu who was made later has it 'fixed'According to Bulbapedia female Pikachus have a black (dark) marking at the end of their tail.That's not true. I was a huge Pokemon fan, I had a whole bunch of Pikachu toys, I had an A2 painting of him on my wall that I did myself. I believe that's why the confusion!Edit: Since my little comment seems like it's being glossed over, I'll repost this long list here:Edit: Well maybe I will sift through all "480,357 results".The fact that people are straight up ignoring your seemingly smoking gun.... Is freaking me out a little.This has got to be one of the most amazing Mandela effects.

Read more . Is it that the new Pikachu doesnt have it?It was brown, it changed later because in the anime he didn't have oneProbably unofficial toys. The tail was brown instead of black...Yep. It was a jagged black tip. As someone who doodled him dozens of times in my childhood notebook, it seems insane to not know that the color is at the base.I don't think his tail was black, I think it was brown at the topBut I guess the reason I think that is because it was brown at the bottomExcept that isn't why I think that, it's because I played him in Super smash bros, my favorite game for years and remember his tail not being yellow at the top. I'm not a "as a kid" kind of guy. I remember only and exactly the jagged black tip that you're talking about, clearly!Yeah... this is complete bullshit, the only Pikachu sprite where that assumption can be made is the Red/Blue sprites but that is only because straight pixels look darker than diagonal pixels.But an odd thing I noticed is that his tail appears to be all yellow in the people who don't remember the black tip didn't change universes.You may be right, however 57% of over 1,000 people surveyed remember a black tip. I was a huge Pokemon fan, I had a whole bunch of Pikachu toys, I had an A2 painting of him on my wall that I did myself. This deserves its own post to be honest, start it off with google search results and end with this list.

I had a toy with this on it!!

It's the only time Pikachu's tail is black tipped. I have done that before when i would see pokemon (never watched it too much), and i do that now when focusing on both. I am 100% convinced he did not have a black tip on his tail. HP 60. Like I noticed that pretty much all the pikachu posts are from the time of the pokemon go fad and on.

You see those far more than his tail, thus you expect it to also be on his tail. This is one of the few Changes that I would bet my life on.Well there are versions of pikachu that have a black tip, so you might have seen that one.For me personally, i can look at something that has a different color tip in one part, and then see it somewhere else that it is not. How many of you seemed to once thing he had black on his hands, cause my brain has tricked me into thinking black paws existed upon looking a him.I remember having two pikachu trading cards when I was a kid. I went through an old stack of cards I still have. Plus he has a brown mark on the bottom.

What made this stranger is that we both recalled a different pattern.I recalled seeing this back when Pokémon first started and I, as a hipster, never bought into the fad.However, my friend recalls this one which feels completely strange to me.I remember Pikachu's tail having a black tip and nothing else.

Pikachu Figure. I remember Pikachu from Pokemon having a black tip on the end of its tail. I mostly liked the Generation 1 pokemons cause my parents only got me Red & Green for my gameboy.AS i said, it could easily be brain tricks. I've been a fan since the start until now and never remember or knew of it being there.Like his tail is supposed to look like a lightning bolt. I remember it very clearly. The cartoon draws it as a brown gradient where his tail connects but they just don't draw it like 90% of the time.I think everyone just assumes his ears and tail would match since that would look better but he was just some random pokemon and only turned into the star of the show when they made an anime.

Its on ths biggest part of his tail and stops along the zig zag on the top part of his tail (if any of this makes sense). And it's exactly what happened to me, I would watch the anime EVERY episode and I would draw every new pokemon from the episodes using the internet photos, and it happened that when drawing for fun one day, or watching the anime (I don't remember), I noticed that the black tip wasn't there anymore, and this happened around 2009 (HeartGold release).

!That pikachu feels really familiar, but I can only recall pikachu only having brown on his tail.This I distinctly remember that Pikachu was it from a merchandise that put it there in error or was in the anime.Mind if I ask how you found out about the Mandela Effect (in general)?Why does his tail look backwards? Tail Whap 20. I had a card of him and it had a black tipped tail.
