Hi all and Happy Halloween 2016! It’s that time of year for me to once again share my annual video game themed pumpkin…this being my 19th consecutive one!

I decided that for this year’s effort, I would make a dual sided Jack-o-Lantern, with one face being Pikachu, to help celebrate the Pokemon series’ 20th anniversary and the arrival of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon next month…and the other being Nintendo Switch! Switch is Nintendo’s next-gen console which is a home and portable hybrid machine, that gives you a complete gaming experience both on your TV and anywhere you feel like taking your system.

For Pikachu, I carved him and his tail first and then did some shaving and slight coloring for his cheeks. For the Nintendo Switch, I carved out the Left and Right Joy-Con controllers and then the word “SWITCH”, below.

I really like how this year’s pumpkin turned out and hope you enjoyed it as well. Thanks for stopping by and if you want to see my past 18 pumpkins, just search for “Paul Gale Network Halloween Pumpkin” and any year from 1998-2016. 🙂
