Cosplay (ポケモン - lit. meaning "Pokemon") is the modern Japanese and American art of dressing up as slightly fatter and vastly less convincing versions of the characters from already highly unbelievable films, anime, video games, manga, tales or even some real things in the world when the vivid imagination goes on vacation as brain cells get put to more valid uses, such as homework or meeting accounts due-dates. The vast majority of costumed and wigged pretenders believe dressing up gives them the powers, beauty or even brains of the said character. In truth, others left in suits, streetwear, or even ball gowns find such a belief to be on this side of pathetic. -Uncyclopedia
