I thought this weekend might be fairly quiet for new Pokemon merchandise announcements, and I was almost right, but we did get two potentially juicy pieces.

Following in the footsteps of last year’s double Halloween events (Halloween Parade 2015 and Mystery Mansion), the Pokemon Center is bringing us another year of double Halloween promotions. Pokemon Halloween Circus was announced a few weeks ago and was released today (pictures coming soon!) and the Center just announced a more gothic themed Halloween promotion, Masquerade Party, coming to all Pokemon Centers and Stores in Japan on September 17th.
Although the majority of items included in the line-up are mainly focused on Gallade and Gardevoir, there are some items that contain the full Masquerade Party artwork, and the blind packaged charms also feature some of the supporting Pokemon wearing cute masquerade masks. Also of note is the k.uno collaboration necklace, with a charm that has both Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gallade together.
Full Line-Up

Wall Clock – 5,400 yen
Tote Bag – 3,780 yen

Pouch – 1,620 yen
Heat-Changing Mug – 1,404 yen

Hand Towel – 540 yen
Hoodie (S/M/L) – 6,048 yen

Not announced on the website but equally exciting, a Villains promotion will be coming to all Pokemon Centers and Stores in Japan October 8th. Along with super adorable Pikachu plush dressed in outfits from various “evil” organizations (Team Rocket, Team Aqua, Team Magma, Team Galactic, Team Plasma, and Team Flare) there will also be other merchandise featuring logo art of these aforementioned teams.

There will also be several campaigns alongside this fun promotion, running from October 1st until November 11th.
1) During this time period, bring your 3DS or 2Ds with either Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire to Pokemon Centers around Japan for the chance to get one of 6 Pokemon associated with the boss of an evil organization.
The six Pokemon available as random event gifts will be: Nidoqueen (Giovanni), Camerupt (Maxie), Sharknado (Archie), Weavile (Cyrus), Hydreigon (Ghetsis), and Pyroar (Lysandre).

2) Special mini art cards will be given out randomly for every 3,000 yen spent at Pokemon Centers across Japan starting from October 1st until supplies run out.
3) Some Pokemon Center staff members will either dress up in cosplay or wear shirts for each team every weekend between October 1st and November 11th, as well as Monday, October 10th (a public holiday in Japan).
4) Starting from October 1st, customers who buy 5 expansion packs from any card series will receive an original design half-size playmat (while supplies last).
5) Starting from October 8th, Team Rocket will be taking over the Pokemon Center On-Line store, with the design of the on-line store, as well as the boxes used to ship orders out, changing to reflect the take-over. More information on this event will go public September 30th, so stay tuned!

There were a couple announcements worth repeating from this past Friday’s update.
First up, a second part to the Pokemon Graphix t-shirt series is coming out June 25th. Each shirt design will come in two versions: the shirts on the left will be available everywhere, while the shirts on the right will be exclusive to the on-line Pokemon Center store. All shirts come with a sticker, featuring the same design as the shirt bought, in a tiny transparent pouch. Shirts are 5,184 yen for small, medium, and large, and 5,400 yen for extra-large.

Luchadora Pikachu

Ditto

Mewtwo

Magneton

Umbreon
An incredibly cute gummi-themed promotion comes out in all Pokemon Centers and Stores June 25th. Surprisingly enough, for a series of items that are all based on delicious looking candy, there isn’t any actual gummies being sold as part of the set.
