New Pikachu Balloon at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade This Year

A Pikachu balloon will make its 15th straight appearance at the 88th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade later this month, but the famous creature will sport a new look this year.

As you can see in the promotional poster above, this year's Pikachu balloon will sport a "Snowman Pikachu" redesign. Not much has changed, however, as all that's been added is a winter-themed red and green scarf and a doll.

This year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will be held on Thursday, November 27 in New York City. There will also be a Skylanders balloon this year, according to the poster.

Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, updated versions of the 2002 Game Boy Advance games Ruby and Sapphire, launch on November 21 for 3DS. For more on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
