New Timeless Adventure merchandise inspired by Alola, plus new Pokémon Sleep plushes and figures, arriving soon to Pokémon Centers in Japan

The Pokémon Center is still adding to their special 30th anniversary merchandise series, Timeless Adventure, this time visiting Alola with a sleepy theme. Speaking of sleep, the Pokémon Sleep app is getting some new merch in the form of four new snoozing plushes and six flocked figures. All this new merch will arrive at Pokémon Centers in Japan on September 5th, and to the Pokémon Center Online on September 3rd.

Just like the previous entries to the Timeless Adventure line, this new drop takes lots of inspiration from its specific region, starring the starters Litten, Rowlet, and Popplio, plus surfing Pikachu. The three are pictured snoozing on the back of a Mantine in the Alolan sea, with Alolan Exeggutor in the background. That art features, as usual, on a file folder ¥495 ($3.10 USD), a set of five stickers for ¥770 ($4.82 USD), an acrylic keychain for ¥935 ($5.86 USD), an acrylic decor block for ¥2,860 ($17.92 USD), and a souvenir tin of cookies for ¥1,760 ($11.02 USD). The special item included for Alola is a healing machine-themed nap set, which includes a throw blanket and a pillow with six removable Poké Balls. The set will retail for ¥8,250 ($51.68 USD).

Continuing on with some more sleepy Pokémon, the app Pokémon Sleep will be getting two small collections of merch. Four new plushes include Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, and Mew for ¥3,740 ($23.43 USD) each. The six new flocked figures will be available in blind bags for ¥880 ($5.51 USD) each, and contain Pokémon that can be encountered in Taupe Hollow. Customers can open figures of Diglett, Paldean Wooper, Larvitar, Vulpix, Riolu, or Cyndaquil snoozing away.

In conjunction with the new merch, Pokémon Sleep and Pokémon Centers across Japan will be holding a special campaign where visitors to the stores can receive stickers, in-app rewards, and other prizes. The campaign will run from September 5th until September 20th. In addition, from September 7th to September 20th, Mew will be visiting Pokémon Centers, and customers who spot it will receive one of three special Mew photo frames. Fans can find more info about the Pokémon Center x Pokémon Sleep campaign here.

 

Seeing the Alola Starters sleeping together is adorable, but why are they on the back of a Mantine? Popplio makes sense. ITs a Water Type. Litten? Why is it there? Its a Fire Type.

mantine is there as a reference to mantine surf. the forgettable, required-for-progression minigame from the ultra sun and moon games.

Right. Forgot that you ride the Mantine between islands in the Alola games.
