Razer CEO hints Pikachu mascots for product launch in China were interns

Being an intern is hard work.

What marks a great internship is being able to learn new things on the job.

According to Razer CEO Tan Min-Liang, it seems that his company does provide such opportunities for their interns, in their own way.

Interns apparently dressed up as Pikachu

The homegrown gaming hardware brand held a launch for its Razer x Pokemon line in China on Nov. 9, in time for sales on 11.11 Singles' Day.

Tan shared a video of a performance at the launch on Saturday apparently put up by Razer's interns, as implied by his caption.

He added in the caption:

"So we wanted to launch our Razer x Pokemon line in China for Singles Day. Guess what the interns had to do #forgamersbygamers #razer "

The adorable quadruplet Pikachus definitely caught quite a lot of attention, with over 174,000 views on Tan's video since Saturday.

The Razer founder also shared some behind-the-scene footage of them struggling to climb on stage, in the cutest way possible.

Aww.

Razer x Pokemon keyboard & mouse

If Razer or Pokemon fans (or both) are interested in the limited edition keyboard and mouse collection, it's available online on Tmall, Alibaba's e-commerce marketplace.

They deliver to Singapore as well.

The keyboard, which comes attached with a Pikachu-accented hand rest, retails at 599RMB (approx. S$115).

And of course, how can it be Razer, if it doesn't come with built-in lighting?
