Australian burger chain Down N’ Out, a restaurant managed by Hashtag Burgers, is now prepping up Pokéburgers, a selection of burgers with pocket monsters’ faces on bulky burger buns. So far, they’ve got Bulbasaur, Pikachu, and Charmandar (where Squirtle at?) in burger form with hopes of more Pokemon to come (please not Zubat).

The burgers cost $15 each and will only be available for two weeks, from the St John Young Hotel in Sydney’s CBD.

The order also comes with a trading card that lists the ingredients.

Ben Kagan from Hashtag Burgers, the group that runs Down ‘N Out, divulged some delicious details to Mashable Australia. “Pikachu we wanted to be a bit silly”, which apparently means it’s, “stuffed.with Tiger Fries, french fries covered in cheese, onions and a Thousand Island-style spread”.

The burgers go on sale Tuesday night, but the restaurant has given previews of the poke-burgers to local food bloggers, who have posted their verdicts on social media. Pokédiners can’t choose which burger they want.
