Pokemon in virtual reality is all your dreams come true

Someone's made a Pokemon demo where you can shout "Pikachu, I choose you", throw the Pokeball with your hand, and watch it all within a VR headset. Nintendo, hire this person.

Using the Oculus Rift, Leap Motion and Voice Attack, misterbunbun put together a tribute to Pokemon that makes me wish the future was now. Check it:

Is that not the best thing you've seen all day, outside of a mirror? If you have the gear you can try this for yourself.

Thanks, Kotaku.
