Do You Wanna Build a Snow Pokemon?
In Japan, the standard snowman design is pretty simple: just two icy spheres stacked up on top of each other. Going to all the trouble of making three balls of snow is seen as the foreign way to do it. That doesn’t mean that Japanese snow sculptors are lazy, though. They just channel their creative energies into making things other than snowmen.

Like snow Pokémon, for example. With heavy snowfall across much of Japan, many created the iconic Pokémon mascot, Pikachu.

Bulbasaur may be the least popular original starter Pokémon, but someone still loves him.

There was plenty of frosty material with which to make a snow Eevee, like the one above.
