Origin of the Pikachu agent?

That Pikachu looks very familiar to both that bootleg MD/SNES game's options screen and the agent documented at https://agentpedia.tmafe.com/wiki/Pikachu ...

I wouldn't be super surprised if Nintendo made a pikachu agent. After all, Microsoft Agent WAS popular in the early 2000s, so it would make sense for a pikachu agent to be made. While sure, it could've been another company that partnered with Nintendo that made it as well. Though all we know currently is, whoever made it must have affiliation with Nintendo (or probably took the sprites for pikachu off Nintendo's site and fused them all into one agent character).

I honestly doubt it.

Tbh Nintendo has sent cease and desist letters to anyone who has dare say the name of any one of their IPs. I mean they tried to sue a local Costa Rican supermarket named "Super Mario" in 2025 because it sounded like the "Super Mario" series, so the Microsoft Agent Ring would've been given a cease and desist for having the Pikachu agent on their site.

So I was wrong. I guess Nintendo just wasn't aware of the Microsoft Agent Ring since they didn't have much involvement in it as I originally thought, which is probably why Your Future King wasn't given a cease and desist.

I doubt Nintendo would get in this anyway even if Microsoft Agent was on it's prime.

True, though I still do think they could've sent cease and desists.
