Pokemon Center Report – Pokemon Line Art Promotion

Hello everyone!

We are back with another…

Blast From The Past Pokemon Center Report

The last of three May 20th releases – the Pokemon Line Art Promotion.

This is not the first line-art promotion, but I feel like both were easily overlooked because there were no plush and when you get down to it, it’s all stock art but in lined form.

With that said, I still find this series to feature plenty of neat looking items so it’s kind of a shame it’s not more popular. Also, this is a good way to get merchandise with your favorite Pokemon on it if it’s not one of the more popular ‘mons as each item includes so many.

Don’t like white? No problem! A lot of the items included in the line-up had a black background counterpart.

The line-up of merch featured a ton of items for everyone’s every day life style, like train pass cases and two types of phone cases: a hard shell type for iPhone7 and a flip-case type designed to fit a variety of medium sized phones.

There were also a couple different size pouches.

Pens and sketchbooks for the more artistically inclined.

And duffel bags and backpacks, so you can show off your love for Pokemon while also being fashionable!

My favorite item from the entire promotion were the stickers. This pack of die-cut stickers contains a different combination of Pokemon per pack and are made of a neat sort of cloth-like material that shimmers in the light (I did my best to show off the shimmery effect!)

I can’t end this blog post without mentioning the tag art. Pretty snazzy, right? I love it!

That wraps up the final May 20th Pokemon Center Report post.

Until next time~

Pokemon Center Report – PokeKyun Collection

The PokeKyun concept pack came out on Friday the 29th and I was there at the Mega Tokyo Pokemon Center, bright and early, for card fun and festivities! The train ride in to the city was especially smushy because for some reason every time trains would go through this one specific station on my train line, the doors wouldn’t open and they literally had to turn each train off and on again, leading to delays upon delays. But I did it for Pokemon!

Aside from the card packs themselves, there were two bonus items that came out on Friday that were card related. Bonus item 1 were these Premium PokeKyun Box Sets.

This display features the contents of the premium box (sheet of stickers, card sleeves, deck box, long box, Shaymin EX card). The cards in the back are samples of the cards that are available through the concept pack.

Item number 2 I didn’t know about until I saw it in person.

I had to buy one of the binder sets for myself. Here is one side…
