Hello everyone!
First off, before we dive into this week’s Pokemon Center Report…
I am currently running an End of the Year give-away contest over on my Twitter account!
1 winner will be randomly selected to win 1 Eeveelution (or Pikachu) plush of their choice from the up-coming Mix Au Lait promotion.
To enter, follow me (@zombiemiki) on Twitter and RT this tweet.
Give-away ends Noon EST Dec. 30th (Sunday), 2018 so don’t forget to enter before the deadline. Good luck!
Although there were no new merchandise announcements from the Pokemon website on Friday, Saturday (December 22nd) made up for it with a bunch of cute releases all at once.
One of which was the Winter version of the Pikachu & Eevee Seasons pair plush series. This plush features Eevee and Pikachu cuddling in a box of Pokemon shaped chocolates!
Ditto Plush
Next up – a new volume from the very popular Ditto Transform! series!
As with every Ditto Transform release, this set featured 5 Pokemon (Leafeon, Glaceon, Litwick, Misdreavus, and Poipole)
Ditto Transform Mascot
in both plush versions and mascot plush size versions.
(My favorite is of course Litwick!)
Along with the two types of plush, there was also a matching gacha figure collection set with the same five Pokemon!
For the record, Poipole loved me. I played 10 times and 6 were Poipole. Left and came back to try again… another Poipole. Came back another day … three more Poipole!!
(I was able to eventually get a Litwick Ditto thankfully)
The big release for this weekend was the Super Nerd promotion…
… featuring Robot Pikachu!
Super Nerd Mascot
Along with two sizes of Robot Pikachu plush (normal size and an extra large foot tall version), there was a smaller mascot plush size version plus mascot plushies of Pikachu, Charmander, Alolan Vulpix, and Piplup, all wearing matching scientist coats!
The promotion featured some Pokemon Center staples, such as the blind packaged rubber charm collection
Super Nerd Items 1
There were also a bunch of other cute and original items, including a Robot Pikachu memo note holder, a set of cute acrylic clips, a writable mini size blackboard, eyeglass cases, phone cases, and pens and pencils with small Robot Pikachu charms (among others!)
Super Nerd Shirts
We got a bunch of new and cute Pokemon Center socks as well as two types of t-shirt designs.
The Super Nerd promotion even included the TCG crowd with two original card sleeve designs!
And if all of those expected releases weren’t enough, there were some surprise releases as well!
A set of Eeveelution themed bell charms came out on Saturday, which featured all the Eeveelutions (minus Eevee who already has a bell charm).
Note that they’re called bell charms because the charms are bells!
A set of Pokemon shaped carabiner clips (Pikachu Tail, Eevee Tail, Eevee Face, Gulpin, Pyukumuku, Diglett, and Charjabug) were also released this past Saturday.
That wraps up this week’s Pokemon Center Report!
Thanks for looking and (to those who celebrate) Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
