Snapchat gains filter that turns you into Pikachu, from Pokémon

Snapchat has gained a new lens (face filter) with the theme of Pokémon, famous Japanese anime that is successful in Brazil. The mask adds the Pikachu's red ears, nose and classic cheeks to your selfies. When you wince, the character also enters the scene and, if the phone's audio is on, you will hear the iconic sound of the nice yellow Pokémon.

Total Snapchat users grow to 173 million, but little

According to the producer of the design, the filter can be used for a short period of time, but did not need until when. If you are a Snapchat user, see how to apply the new mask before it disappears. The news is available to everyone, on both the iPhone (iOS) and the Android version of Google.
