Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo Exclusive Mega Pikazard Y PlushAs soon as this plush was announced, I knew I had to have it! The face on the plush that was exclusive to the Mega Tokyo Pokemon Center was absolute perfection, and I even had one of my customs based on it. This plush is from the first run, the original release, not the restock. I've been debating if I want the regular faced one as well...

Pokemon Center June Monthly Pikachu PlushI love rain boots, and I also love the rain coats that also come along with rain boots, so when I saw this dumb Pikachu wearing a rain coat, I knew I had to have it! I almost missed out on my chance for this plush, so when I saw that Gin had a few in hand on Sunyshore I knew I had to buy it. And I am thankful that I did because now they are near impossible to find.

Pokemon Center Mega Pikazard X PlushI was hoping the Pokemon Center would come up with a Mega Pikazard X plush. After the Mega Pikazard Y plush came out, bootleggers came up with the idea for a Mega Pikazard X. Shockingly, bootleggers came up with and started selling the Pikazard X plush long before the Pokemon Center hopped on the bandwagon. When the Mega Pikachu promotion was first teased, I was hoping so much for this plush. It was the first one I bought from the promotion, and I am so extremely glad that I have it to hang out with my Pikazard Y.

Pokemon Center February Monthly Pikachu Plush
Okay, okay, this plush. I needed this plush for a couple of reasons. First, because its just hella cute in general. Second, and most importantly, because I absolutely love kotatsus. I've been screeching about how I want a kotatsu for ages. I've been whining at my friends, saying, "Let's build a kotatsu!" and then proceeding to look up tutorials and plans. My significant other keeps telling me no because I would burn the house down - "it's a fire hazard." But they make special kotatsu heaters, and you don't hear about all of Japan burning down from mass kotatsu fires! I just really need a kotatsu, okay?! I have one in Animal Crossing, I have one in Neko Atsume, I just need one in real life!

Pokemon Center Kyoto Lugia Pikachu PlushThis guy is super adorable! When the art originally came out for the Lugia and Ho-Oh Pikachu, I was hoping they were going to make plush of them. And, lo and behold, they did! I decided to only buy the Lugia version because I thought the Ho-Oh version looked rather odd. I think it looked odd because the hood of the poncho was based on Ho-Oh's head, and it looked too round with no place for the ears. I don't know, but the Lugia was just so much cuter! I've always liked Lugia better anyway; I played Silver and SoulSilver over Gold and HeartGold. I am very pleased to have this guy in my collection! He is a lovely piece.

Pokemon Center Chespin PokedollI sent my sister on a mission to Nintendo World when she was in NYC visiting a friend. I wanted a Chespin pokedoll and a Froakie pokedoll. They were all out of Chespin pokedolls at the time, and she tried to buy me a Chespin standard plush instead. Thankfully I caught her mistake when she sent me a photo - she said one of the employees said I had a good eye! Later, one of my collector friends that lives in NYC was able to grab a Chespin pokedoll for me when they came back in stock. I can't thank her enough, because look at this little shit's face!

Pokemon Center Froakie PokedollI sent my sister on a mission to Nintendo World when she was in NYC visiting a friend. I wanted a Chespin pokedoll and a Froakie pokedoll. They were all out of Chespin pokedolls at the time, and she tried to buy me a Chespin standard plush instead. Thankfully I caught her mistake when she sent me a photo. Thankfully she at least got my Froakie! This lil turd with his big eyes... he is adorable! Thank you, my sestra!

Pokemon Time Eevee Collection Umbreon Mascot PlushI have an Umbreon on my "official" team that I have in Pokemon Y, so I felt like I needed an Umbreon plush to represent him. I first got an Umbreon pokedoll, and then a sleeping Umbreon kuttari, but I got rid of those when I downsized my side collection. I kept this one instead because I really do love the Pokemon Time promotions, and the expression on this plush is just precious. Plus, he's tiny and doesn't take up much space!

Takara Tomy Laying Buizel PlushWhen I was first getting into collecting, I had decided that I wanted to somewhat collect Buizel on the side, because Buizel is another one of my favorite Pokemon. I bought this plush very shortly after my I <3 Marine Buizel from the same seller. I've seen this plush pop up for sale in recent months, and I think I overpaid for him, but I guess that's okay because I think he is a lot cuter than the somewhat-derpy I <3 Marine Buizel.

Takara Tomy Noibat PlushI've always liked Noibat. Who wouldn't like an awesome bat-dragon? But I fell even more in love when Ash caught one in the XY series. So I was super excited when I saw that Tomy was coming out with a Noibat plush! It was scheduled to be released in March, but in early February, I randomly checked ToyWiz, and they had one in stock, so I immediately snatched him up! I was worried about this plush being wonky, actually, but he turned out really well with lots of details! It was then I decided to test out putting a Noibat on my "official" Pokemon team in Y. My little batty boy is doing well so far.

Takara Tomy Oshawott PlushThis plush has some sentimental value. If I am not mistaken it was the last thing I ordered from Toys N Joys before they shut down. But that's not the sentimental part. My sister and two of my friends pre-ordered this for me for my birthday present - well not this specifically, it was a big 12-inch plush, but Toys N Joys sent this instead without any explanation. Apparently the plush they had pre-ordered was a part of a set? Why they offered them individually I don't know. But this plush still means a lot since special people bought him for me..

Banpresto Laying Mew PlushThis is another plush that has some sentimental value. When I was in high school, my best friend and I decided to always buy each other Pokemon plush for our birthdays. This was the only plush that she bought me before we had our falling out. I still care about her and I wish her well, and so I continue to keep this plush that she bought me.

Takara Tomy 1:1 Jirachi PlushThis plush and I have history... It was one of my first big online purchases. After I saw the Jirachi Wishmaker movie, I wanted a Jirachi plush. I looked all over and couldn't find one, until I found a place called Toys N Joys online that sold plush from Japan. I bought this big Jirachi for $50, and it was my very first Japanese plush. As such, I never took its hangtag off like I normally did. I probably should have, though, because I loved this plush so much. It slept on my bed with me and everything, and eventually the tag came off on its own. I still have the tag somewhere, I never had the heart to throw it out, but I'm unsure of where I put it.
