New Christmas merch and plushies coming to Pokémon Centers in Japan

Scheduled for release on October 28th, a new collection of Chirstmassy merchandise featuring plushies, an advent calendar, and more will be coming to Pokémon Center stores in Japan. The Pokémon Center Online will begin accepting orders for the new products on October 26th. This collection is themed after the Paldean city Porto Marinada, where players can visit the in-game auction market. That market has been transformed into a Christmas festival for the season with this new merch collection, “Paldea's Christmas Market.” Festive plushies of Pikachu, Pawmi, and Psyduck take center stage, while the Paldean starters appear in an extra-large plush bouquet and in stocking keychains.

The collection also includes an Iron Bundle sweater with reversible sequin eyes for ¥7,480 ($49.92 USD), a collection of eight Christmas tree ornaments featuring other favorite Paldean Pokémon for ¥880 ($5.87 USD) each, and even a Christmas tree tapestry designed to hang the ornaments on for ¥4,950 ($33.03 USD). The plushes and plush keychains featured in this collection will be available via Amazon Japan in limited quantities beginning November 4th.

 

Why are they releasing Christmas stuff? We're not even in November yet! Halloween has not happened yet.

 

Ok Imma pay someone some $ if they draw Turo in that dorky Iron Bundle sweater. Especially if he wears it over his sci Fi bodysuit.
