Hello everyone!
It’s Friday which means it’s that time of the week when we get news on up-coming Pokemon merchandise and other fun stuff.
Remember back in June when the Pokemon Center announced a new series of Pikachu & Eevee pair plush, called Seasons Pikachu & Eevee? And how the series would have four plush in total, one for every season?
Yeah, I totally forgot about it, oops Well, it’s back with an autumn version!
For some reason, fall and November especially are synonymous in Japan with artsy things, so in that style, we have Pikachu and Eevee, reading a picture book together, outside I guess since there’s a fall leaf on one of the pages.
The plush will go on sale at all Pokemon Centers & Stores in Japan on October 27th (Saturday) and costs 3,240 yen including tax.
Don’t forget, we still have winter and spring versions to look forward to!
Also coming out October 27th (Saturday) is a mini clothing based promotion with a Ghost Pokemon Type focus.

The ever popular “Ditto Transform!” series returns with new mostly non-plush items in a new mini promotion called “It’s Ditto!” This promotion will hit Pokemon Centers & Stores across Japan October 27th (Saturday).

More information on the coaster designs and latte art will be coming soon, so stay tuned!
An official Pokemon Center will be opening outside of Japan in the Jewel Changi Airport (Jewel) in Singapore.
Logo artwork has been released, along with a main promotional illustration, indicating there will be a grand-opening merchandise promotion.
Aside from “opening 2019”, at this point we don’t have any other information, but I will of course report on anything that comes out as I hear it.
Closing us out, this smaller Magikarp mascot plush was released on the 10th to no fanfare.
You can pull the Magikarp away from the pokeball and he’ll shake and vibrate!
Want this little guy? You can order him through Japanstuffs.com!
That wraps up this week’s Pokemon Center announcements.
Until next time~

Hello everyone~
This past weekend had one sort of minor release: the Pikachu & Eevee Jewel cosmetics based promotion.
The series featured a bunch of items available in either pink (Pikachu) or blue (Eevee) that were mainly cosmetics related
Items from the line-up included: hand gel and cream, skin lotion, body spray, lip gloss and cream, cute band-aids, brushes and combs, two types of mirrors, and towels.
One item of note are the bath salts, designed to make your bath water smell nice to create a pleasant bathing experience.
Pikachu’s bath salts are cherry blossom scented and Eevee is lilac scented.
Another original item: pouches with mirrors sewn into the inside flap.
Along with the Jewel release, a Pokemon Center original cookie tin featuring Eevee also came out this past weekend.
Designed to look very similar to a previously released Pikachu cookie tin, this tin should be a Pokemon Center staple so no danger of selling out. The cookies inside are rolled wafer cookies with cream filling – very delicious!
That wraps up this week’s Pokemon Center Report.
Until next time~

Hello everyone and welcome to October – the best month in the year!
First up, special announcement number one
My birthday is October 30th!
Send me birthday coffees via ko-fi.com and I’ll draw you a sketch of your choice! Just leave a note with what you want me to draw :3
Special announcement number two
Bumping my Patreon!
Not only do you get to see original charm and sticker illustrations as I design them, but you get advance notice of items added to my sticker/charm store, get to see commissions I can’t share publicly, and for postcard tier patrons, a cute monthly Miki original postcard sent straight to you from me with a handwritten note.
Special announcement number three
I added two new designs to both my Threadless and Teepublic stores.
As of this post, the two designs over on Teepublic are currently 30% off and will be for the next 15 hours.
This past weekend was the latest Pokemon Center kuttari plush release plus a cute gacha figure set from the Pokemon Yurutto series.
It has been long enough from the last kuttari release that most people, me included, just assumed we weren’t getting anymore, so it was quite a surprise when the Pokemon Center suddenly brought this new set up, out of nowhere.
Kuttari plush are released in sets, with each Pokemon having an awake version
And a sleeping version!
This release featured the two Alolan starter Pokemon (Litten, who looks done with everything as usual, Popplio, and Rowlet)
Plus Alolan Vulpix and Dusk Lycanroc
And two sort of unexpected choices: Wimpod and Buzzwole
Both of which have pretty adorable sleeping forms.
As mentioned, the Pokemon Yurutto gacha set also came out this past Saturday and included five figures: Pikachu, Dedenne, Ludicolo, Bewear, and Croagunk.
That wraps up this week’s Pokemon Center Report!
Welcome to October and let’s get spooky~
