Well this piece of pikachu was done with traditional 2D animation technique. There are about 45 frames of animation, all hand drawn. Later, each frame was scanned into photoshop and then into adobe premiere for outputting. I thought that it would be nice if pikachu moved with a little bit more fluidity than what I've seen on television. Hope you enjoy.
