Pokemon Centers are bad for me. (Update: Kyoto Pokemon Center Pics, new 13th )

[Taffeta]

Before I came to Japan I really thought there was only a Pokemon Center in Tokyo, at Ikebukuro. But I have since discovered there are more of them around the country. And visiting them is a very bad idea for my wallet...

It's bad enough that this happened in Kyoto...

Very unique! I love them! I would have to make space for them, if it were me.

oooooh my god, how cute

[Taffeta]

oooooh my god, how cute

The worst things are the little tsumtsum type floppy pokemon. They are all so adorable and I keep wanting to buy more of them...

So cute! May I ask what Lilligant is holding in that picture? I high-key thought it was a dorito at first glance

On one hand, I'm super jealous that you have access to all of those cute, exclusive plushies over there in Japan. On the other hand, I'm kind of lucky that I don't have a Pokemon Center near me because all of my savings would be spent on Rowlet and Rockruff merch.

[banditpony]

Haha that looks like restraint to me
Congrats on the cute merch!

I have seen a ton of merchandise for both of those, so you would probably be doomed xD.
I don't even like Pikachu that much, but the Maiko Pikachu is somehow so cute that I had to have her. Sigh.

Lillie is holding a Fuji Senbei. I'm in Kyoto now, but I spent a week in Tokyo and did a trip out to Fuji. I bought some of the senbei or rice crackers from there and I still have a few left. It was just the right size for her to hold, and with it in package, her hands (leaves?) didn't get dirty xD. It was just the right size for her!

They're this kind of thing:

It only looks like restraint because most of my favourite pokemon don't get plushed. I am principally a grass pokemon lover, and most of them don't get attention like some of the others. But I'm also lately obsessed with white Vulpix. In fact, the reason I went to three pokemon centers was originally that I was searching for the Alolan Vulpix and Hiroshima was the only one that had her. There is an exclusive version of her up in Sapporo, apparently, which is way too far away, but I am just happy with the basic plush.

 There is actually a fourth Pokemon Center store I can get to from here, which is in Osaka, but I don't think my wallet can cope.

So that's what those things are called! I've seen those crackers in anime a couple of times in the past and have always wondered what the characters were munching on.

They have tons of merchandise for Rowlet and Rockruff over there, you say? Darn. Now I am jealous!
Last time I checked, there is little to no Sun and Moon stuff (especially plushies) where I live. The only Rowlet related thing I've seen in the wild is this Jumbo Sized/Trainer Sized plush that I can in no way afford space wise or price wise. 

And here I thought Rowlet was this American soccer ball sized bird friend. Nope. Apparently he's bigger than my head.

[Taffeta]

Yep, there is a ton of sun and moon stuff out here. But the positive is that some of that will probably trickle to other places with time. They also seem to bring out new stuff practically weekly, so it would be impossible to keep up with it all.

The worst thing about the tsumtsumish ones is that there are 2 versions of each - open eye and closed eye. As if there wasn't enough to choose from...><

I had a look to see if I had any pictures of Sun and Moon stuff but I don't...I only took pics in Ikebukuro and I have seen most of the SunMoon stuff in the others.

[invaderhorizongreen]

They are all quite lovely plush.

[Leave a Whisper]

Those are adorable. Don't feel bad Taffeta, your just following the natural course of a Pokemon trainer.

Haha ! Too true. Gotta buy them all..?

Oh boy yeah are Pokemon Centers dangerous. When I found out about their existence I vowed to visit Japan and make a Pokemon Center my first stop. However, if they don't have Rattata merch then I will be very disappointed. Rattata is my favourite Pokemon and he doesn't get enough recognition!
