The Poketabi line of regional goods (which seems to have replaced the Gotochi series…) is coming out with a few new items and designs starting December 21st.
The new line-up includes mascot size Pikachu plush in three varieties (red, blue, and yellow)
as well as Pikachu pouches with carabiner clips, also in three varieties (red, blue, and yellow).
These Pikachu plush and pouches will be available with different shirt designs in Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka.
The following items will only be available in Tokyo: 1 new Pikachu metal charm
An assortment of blind packaged badges in 10 total designs
And this cute memo pad.
Note: the regional merchandise is usually not sold through Pokemon Centers. All shops that sell Poketabi merchandise can be found here (Japanese only).
Something I don’t get to bring up often: Pokemon food!
