Do you love Pikachu? Because I definitely do.

I mean; who wouldn’t? The lightning mouse critter has been delighting the world for more than two decades now, and new generations seem just as taken with it as the previous ones did.

And with the new Detective Pikachu due to hit our screens sometime this year, it only adds to the already established consensus:

Pikachu is love, Pikachu is life.

And EZ-Link clearly knows it

If you’ve been keeping up with the EZ-Linkshians, you would know that the company has been dropping quite a lot of cute EZ-Link designs and charms recently.

Snorlax EZ-Charms.

Harry Potter EZ-Link cards.

Hello Kitty EZ-Charms (to be out on 16 January).

Incidentally, the former two have sold out pretty fast, with the last one expected to follow suit as well.

And so, it really doesn’t come as a surprise that EZ-Link is set to release yet another cute design…

This time featuring our favourite yellow critter in a lunar light.

Well… there goes my wallet again.

Did someone say Pika?

In light of the festive New Year, EZ-Link has partnered up with local chain POPULAR Bookstore to create one pretty nifty production:

CNY Pikachu EZ-Link Cards.

For just $10, you’ll be able to start tapping in and out with a wicked (and festive) Pikachu at your disposal!

And it seems that to make sure everyone gets a slice of the cake, EZ-Link has limited each customer to 5 of these beauties.

Although judging by how popular the announcement seems to be with the crowd, you can’t help but wonder;

Is 5 actually high enough as a cap?

But if one user’s comment was to be taken at face value, it would seem that your investment… might be pretty worth it.

And that’s not all

Because EZ-Link has other creations lined up for the anti-Pikachu camps out there.

Take, for example, these adorable Tsum Tsum x CNY designs.
