    In that Pikachu is the beloved side kick of the protagonist Ash:
    1) Does on wear the head of the hero in public other than on a pike?
    2) Would the head of a "dark" defeated pokemon be more appropriate?
    3) Since the identified "catch all" of the cartoon is a pokeball would a pokeball sporran gain a chuckle?

    In answer to the questions:
    1) If I were attending in my medieval armor I would use a pike if I could. However the convention rules disallow the use of any weaponry (stopping there to keep the thread open).
    2) I had considered other varieties of pokemon (including the various evee forms, vulpix, and ninetails), but finding the needed size in some of them is cost restrictive. I won't pay more for a plush toy to make a sporran from than I would for a nice sporran. Also, I feel that the more recognizable pickachu will have a greater impact.
    3) The pokeball sporran would be an okay idea if I weren't trying to make my wife regret insisting that I dress for the theme. I could then claim to be a "trainer". But the hunter is something to be despised. In keeping with the theme of the show (which my wife has watched with me in the room enough to make ignoring it impossible), people who kill these creatures are evil. that being said this character will be proud of what he is. I find the "hunters are evil" aspect annoying in a show about animal fighting and intend to make said statement with this character. Besides, I will be using a pokeball as a cap badge.
    Keep your rings charged, pleats in the back, and stay geeky!
