Overview
- An official social post announced the monochrome 1996-style Pikachu plush and matching keychain are coming to Pokémon Center locations outside Japan.
- North American and UK Pokémon Center sites do not yet list the items, and availability details remain unposted.
- The design replicates the original Game Boy sprite with a pixelated, monochrome look; the plush is about 7 inches and the keychain about 4 inches.
- Japanese retail pricing is ¥3,300 for the plush and ¥880 for the keychain, which does not indicate final pricing in other regions.
- The Japan run sold out quickly, and inflated reseller listings, including eBay posts over $100, have raised concerns about scalpers targeting the international launch.
