If you look at the calendar you might notice that it isn’t Halloween yet. It most certainly isn’t Thanksgiving, and we aren’t close to the winter season. But that hasn’t stopped the Pokémon Center store from stocking up ahead of time on a bunch of items themed to the end of year celebrations. Just pursuing the catalog is sure to make you ready for cold weather and hot cocoa. If you have a Pokemon-obsessed loved one in your life, this is the perfect opportunity to get the gift buying over with early.
If you have enough money you could deck out your home entirely in Pokémon-themed gear for the winter season. There are some expected pieces of merchandise like adorable ugly sweaters and Christmas ornaments with your favorite pocket monsters, but this selection goes above and beyond, with new holiday plushies, stationery, and a collection of mugs and cookie jars perfect for all types of sweets and warm treats to nibble and sip on while sitting around a cozy fire. After doing some pursuing of my own, I’ve become obsessed with the wooden advent calendar that shows Pikachu and friends playing in the snow, each with their own little scarves wrapped around them to keep warm.
The entire holiday collection is made up of over 300 items for you to choose from, the most expensive of which is a Pikachu plushie with a festive ribbon that will cost you $119.99, but it’s already sold out. Of the still available merch, the biggest ticket item is a plush bouquet filled with little Pokémon that runs $71.99. There are items available for as cheap as $2.99 though so don’t think you have to break the bank to get a handful of nifty stocking stuffers for loved ones.
If you want to spend a few minutes scrolling through the many pages of the catalog for yourself, be my guest. But here are some highlights from the Pokémon Center holiday collection.
