Nintendo Tokyo Collaboration

Pokemon Center Nintendo Tokyo Collaboration

The Pokemon Center is teaming up with the soon to be opened Tokyo Nintendo store for a dream cross-over collection November 22nd (Friday) featuring Mario and Pikachu.

To celebrate both the opening of the Shibuya Pokemon Center and the first ever Japan Nintendo store, the Shibuya Pokemon Center will be selling Mario items and the Nintendo Store will be selling Pokemon items.

The best part of the collaboration is… all Mario illustrations are made of Pokemon sprites while the Pokemon illustrations are made of Mario sprites! If you love both the Super Mario series and Pokemon and want a piece of history, definitely don’t miss out on these items!

[Pokemon Center Report] Halloween Festival

The first part of the 2019 Pokemon Center’s Halloween promotion was released across Japan this past weekend (Saturday September 7th).

Halloween Plush

This release featured three main plush: Pikachu, Lucario, and Celebi. The big seller was hands down Lucario, who sold out fairly quickly (but was then restocked and maybe sold out again). As of this posting, both the Lucario and Pikachu plush are sold out on the on-line store. Lucario is sold out on Amazon as well, although Pikachu is still in stock over there… for now.

Halloween Mascot

There were also four mascot plush of Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Zorua, all dressed up in cute Halloween costumes.

A neat and unique addition to the line-up was a cute Pikachu jack-o-lantern plush pouch that included candy inside.

Another big seller was the Lucario hoodie, which sold out almost as fast as the plush did. I have to admit, it looks a little goofy when not being worn, but if you love Lucario, this hoodie would be perfect for you.

The t-shirts are pretty cute, too!

We should be getting information on the second part of the Halloween festivities over the next few weeks. Not sure if it will be as cute as this release, but I guess we will see.

Until next time!

September Banpresto Pokemon Prize Overview

Get ready for the month of “It’s not quite Halloween but I guess it’s fine” aka September!

This month gives us some Halloween plush, the continuation of the Korotto Manmaru Colorful series, and a couple other surprises.

What is Banpresto?

Banpresto is a company that manufactures plush, figures, towels, glasses, and other items to be used as prizes for claw machines in game centers as well as kuji prizes. None of these items are designed to be sold directly through stores and cannot be found in Pokemon Centers. Note that the exception to this are Pokemon kujis, however even in this case, you have to win the prizes; you can’t buy the prize you want directly. Typically, you can find these prize items in game centers or sold second hand through auction sites, amazon, or other similar stores.

Most Pokemon releases from Banpresto drop on Tuesday or Thursday, with occasional releases on Friday. Ichiban Kuji generally goes on sale on Saturdays.

Some of the bigger name game centers in Japan include: Adores, Sega, Round 1, Namco, and Taito Station. Keep in mind, not all game center locations stock all prizes.


Pokemon Banpresto Dakko Gyutto

Two releases from the Poke Gyutto (Poke-Squeeze) and Poke Dakko (Poke-Hug) lines will come out September 19th (Thursday).

Both sets include Vulpix (Kanto version) and Piplup, with the sitting plush measuring 24 cm and the laying plush measuring about 25 cm each.

Pokemon Banpresto Korotto Manmaru Halloween Gengar

From the I Love Gengar line, an extra large Gengar plush (measuring about 34 cm) will start appearing in game centers around Japan from September 10th (Tuesday).

The Colorful Korotto Manmaru series continues with brown for September. This set, which will start appearing in game centers from September 12th (Thursday) includes Cubone, Hitmonlee, and Eevee, with each plush measuring about 22 cm.

A set of smaller Halloween themed plush (Pikachu x 2, Raichu, Pichu), each measuring about 13 cm, will also start appearing in game centers around Japan from September 12th (Thursday).

Pokemon Banpresto Mogu Time

From the Mogu-Mogu (Snack) Time series…

An extra large plush of Slowpoke, measuring about 40 cm, will start appearing in game centers from September 19th (Thursday).

Smaller sized plush of Raichu, Meowth, Gengar, and Ditto, each measuring about 12 cm, will start appearing in game centers from September 26th (Thursday).

Pokemon Banpresto Pokemon Sun Moon

Last but not least, from the general Pokemon Sun & Moon series…

An extra large Lugia plush, measuring about 40 cm, will start appearing in game centers from September 12th (Thursday).

A set of smaller sized mascot plush with little elastic bands for easy attachment will start appearing in game centers from September 12th (Thursday). This set includes Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, with each plush measuring about 12 cm.

A set of mini plush pouches (Pikachu x 3, Pokeball x 1), each measuring about 10 cm, will start appearing in game centers from September 26th (Thursday).
