{{p|Pikachu}} will return to the annual {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}} in balloon form thanks to The {{bp|Pokémon Company International}} on Thursday, November 25th, which is {{wp|Thanksgiving}} in the United States. The annual event will mark the tenth consecutive year that Pikachu will be visiting the annual holiday tradition with the second incarnation of the character, chasing a huge {{bp|Poké Ball}} balloon on the parade route in Manhattan with it's cheeks lighting up. From 2001 through 2005, a "{{bp|Pikachu variants#Flying Pikachu|Flying Pikachu}}" balloon was displayed annually in the event, and that balloon was retired at the "Party of the Decade" Tenth Anniversary event at Bryant Park in August of 2006.
A decade of Pikachu will be celebrated at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this November. A balloon shaped like the franchise mascot will participate in the parade for the tenth straight year.  


The parade will be telecast on NBC (except in the Houston and Detroit markets) at 9am in all time zones in the USA.
This year's parade, held as usual on {{wp|Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving Day}} (this year Thursday, Nov. 25), will begin at 9am EST. Included in the lineup, as it has been since 2006, will be a balloon styled as {{p|Pikachu}} chasing a huge {{bp|Poké Ball}}. Pikachu has been part of the 86-year-old parade since 2001; it is now onto its second design.
 
The first balloon style featured a "{{bp|Pikachu variants#Flying Pikachu|Flying Pikachu}}", which ran from 2001 through 2005. It was officially retired at the "Party of the Decade" Pokémon tenth anniversary event at Bryant Park in August 2006.
 
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is held in Manhattan and will be telecast on {{wp|NBC}} (except in the Houston and Detroit markets) at 9am in all time zones.
