Surprising no one, thanks to a recent datamine, the week 2 challenges of the Fortnite Season 4 Battle Pass have leaked online.  While Battle Pass challenges are always important during seasons, that’s especially the case this time around, as if you complete enough full weeks, you’ll unlock a mystery legendary-tier skin at the end, one that has yet to be discovered.  Thanks to Fortnite Tracker, you can start planning out your week of challenges early, and at least one of them includes something new that was added to the Fortnite map for season 4.

What I didn’t realize about this interview until today was that it was also revealed that Pikachu was supposed to actually be a three-stage evolution Pokémon.  In the game, Pikachu evolves into Raichu with a Thunder Stone, which was a subject of much contention in the animated series, as Ash’s Pikachu never wanted to evolve, but there was actually supposed to be one more evolution passed Raichu as well.  The final evolution of Pikachu, Gorochu, actually had “fangs and horns” according to Nishida, but was eventually cut from the game because of “balance,” which seems like an odd thought considering that Raichu is usually not thought of as a powerhouse in the game, and it should be easy enough to adjust values to “nerf” any Pokémon and make them less powerful.
