It was changed when it was animated, fat pikachu was prior to the anime. It was just for the first game. That pikachu looks exactly the same as it did in the early 2000s

He was a fat fuck in Yellow still.
You can't post his 'woman moment' selfie and call all the OTHER images from Yellow dishonest.
YOU posted the one dishonest image from that game.
And if we're being pedantic you're using a Japanese date when OP is using USA release dates - we all had fat Pikachu for years if you slice things country-correctly.
Skinnychu was always an anime creation first, and the anime never counts.
