Pikachu speaks English in the new Pokemon movie and Twitter is freaking out

Seriously. Freaking out.

The new Pokemon movie debuted last week, and even though we haven't watched the show in years (RIP Pokemon cards), we're still interested to know that Pikachu now speaks English. Apparently, the new flick is basically a re-telling of the first series of the show, and while people were angry that Brock and Misty were replaced, more attention centred around Pikachu speaking actual human words. We'll let Twitter take it from here:

Hearing Pikachu speak English ruined my day yesterday
