Hello everyone~
This week’s announcements were fairly low key but we did get one exciting piece of news!
Based on the Poke-Maniac character from the Pokemon game series, a Poke-Maniac campaign will take place in Japan between June 2nd and July 8th.
During this time, staff and Pikachus dressed as the Poke-Maniac character will make appearances at Pokemon Centers around Japan. There will also be photo spots set up where you can take pictures with dress-up items. If you show this picture to staff at the Center, they’ll give you a free sticker (while supplies last)
Poke-Maniac Plush
Along with the campaign, four Pikachu cosplay plush will go on sale at Pokemon Centers & Stores in Japan on June 30th (Saturday).
The four Pikachu are dressed as: Poke-Maniac, Hydreigon, Tyranitar, and Charizard. Each plush will cost 2,484 yen after tax.
(Pre-orders for these four plush are up over at japanstuffs.com)

Pokemon Oedo returns with a part 3 to the Pokemon Center On-Line store and the Tokyo DX Pokemon Center. This series features more traditional Japanese style items, with a Pokemon twist.
The main highlight of this most recent release is the yukata pictured here. With a price-tag of 46,440 yen after tax, this is not your typical corner store yukata, however, one would hope the quality would match the cost. It will be available in three sizes: small, medium, and large.
Along with the yukata, this release will also include…
Pokemon Oedo 3
Hand Towel (Kanto Starters / Pikachu) – 2,052 yen each
Round Fan – 2,376 yen
Folding Fan – 4,104 yen
These four items will go on sale May 26th (Saturday).
