The official Pokémon store, Pokémon Center, is always a massive hit, whether it's in Taiwan or Japan, with stores consistently packed and new merch flying off shelves as soon as it drops.
They've just announced a brand-new line of "Shoulder-Riding Plushies," designed so you can literally "carry" your favorite Pokémon on your shoulder, arm, or backpack for all your adventures! Each plushie will retail for 2,200 JPY and officially launches in Japanese stores on July 12!

This wave features seven super-adorable Pokémon: Pikachu, Sprigatito, Diglett, Slowpoke, Natu, Whimsicott, and Goomy! Each plushie also includes a rotating joint between the character and its strap, letting you adjust your Pokémon's pose for maximum cuteness and eye-catching flair!
Just wrap the special Velcro strap around your shoulder or backpack, and boom—you'll feel just like a real Pokémon Trainer heading out with your trusty partner!
