This means that every fan has their favourites. With the new line of merchandise, fans and newbies alike can enjoy the Pok\u00e9mon universe, bringing it into their everyday lives. For fans who enjoy the trading cards and for those who are gamers, the range will not disappoint,\u201d says Galliford.<\/p>\n<p>The plush backpacks, laptop cases, character backpacks, pencils, pencil cases, books, drawstring bags, and pen sets have been designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards so that they are true to the much-loved Pok\u00e9mon characters.<\/p>\n<p>The Pok\u00e9mon merchandise range is ideal for children and adults. Pok\u00e9mon is an evergreen brand, and it not only doesn\u2019t shed its appeal but grows and gains new fans as the years go by.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-32784 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/07\/Pikachu-small-backpack-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/07\/Pikachu-small-backpack-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/07\/Pikachu-small-backpack-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/07\/Pikachu-small-backpack-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/07\/Pikachu-small-backpack-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/07\/Pikachu-small-backpack-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/07\/Pikachu-small-backpack.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>So popular is the merchandise that an entire Twitter feed &#8211; @ReviewsPokemon &#8211; has been dedicated to it, with fans posting witty, wholesome, and downright outrageous comments.<\/p>\n<p>South African gamer and influencer &#8211; Enricoh Alfonzo has been a fan since childhood. His favourite character is Charmander, a cuddly orange and yellow Pok\u00e9mon species born with a flame at the end of its tail. \u201cCharmander is my OG starter, and I wholeheartedly love the plush backpack. It is delightfully themed, with quality stitching with the character likeness I\u2019ve been longing for. The depth and adorableness in the eyes really pull at the heart strings!\u201d explains Alfonzo.<\/p>\n<p>For more information go to <a
