Greatest Game Cosplay Ever (This Week): Pokemon Gijinka, Jubilee, Bane + More

This week in the Greatest Game Cosplay Ever, we're taking a look at a few more pieces of Pokemon gijinka and a handful of other costumes that beg to be seen. Have you ever gone around a convention and marveled at the number of people who are dressed sort of like non-human characters... but also not? That's called gijinka, my friend! It's the art of personifying non-human characters with dress or costumes.

Here we have some prime examples of how you can take some elements from a particular character and fashion a suit after it in order to make an instantly recognizable costume. Check them out below and don't forget to appreciate the other costumes, like the incredibly-convincing take on Ira Gamagoori from 'Kill La Kill'.
