Hello everyone!
Welcome to another catch-up Pokemon Center report post.
The super cute Pikachu & Eevee 7 Days Story promotion went on sale July 21st (Saturday).
Although there weren’t any plush in the line-up, there were still plenty of cute things!
7 Days 1
The main highlight were 7 matching Pikachu & Eevee pins, with 14 designs in total.
The pins were each sold separately, however the Pokemon Center offered a deal where if you bought 1 Pikachu and 1 Eevee they gave you a small discount.
7 Days 2
Cute necklaces! One for Pikachu and one for Eevee.
7 Days 3
Cute hair ties! There were two designs each for Pikachu and Eevee: one round or oval version and one bow shaped version.
7 Days 4
This promotion had a bunch of cute clothing items and bags (including the Eevee shirt and hoodie pictured above).
The skirt ended up being surprisingly popular as it was one of the first items to sell out.
We’ll close up today’s post with a couple random pictures from the newly opened Pokemon Center in Nihonbashi and Mega Tokyo!

Walls and walls of cute Pokemon plush – is this heaven?

Hello everyone!
A lot has come out starting from the end of June and past mid July, when the annual summer Pokemon movie was released in movie theaters, but before I dive into the first of several posts, a quick announcement.
Not only does support through Patreon help keep the site running, but you get neat thank you gifts in return, including sneaky peeks of art I’m working on for t-shirt & coffee cup designs, charms, and stickers. On top of that, every month I make up a new postcard design and mail them out, including a small message from me to you!

I’ve also started selling some of my designs on print-on-demand websites!
