The caption, translated by RocketNews24 reads: “There was a Pikachu at the grave of my little brother who loved Pikachu.” (In Pokémon GO, Pikachu is rare and hard to find.)”

While some people question the authenticity of the post, some redditor’s have said the story is true and the boy is of Dutch nationality.
