Our Man in Japan - 5These Pokémon Love To Be Felt!

Japan is the centre of the Pokémon world for toys, novelties, crafts and merchandise, that’s for sure. I bet many of you over in the UK would love to get your hands on the cool stuff I see every day in the Tokyo shops. Like this Diamond & Pearl Felt Pokémon craft kit I picked up. You can make little felt models of Pikachu, Piplup, Turtwig, Chimchar and Dialga, and each kit comes with all the bits you need to get stitching! Want to have a go at something similar? Check out our Make and Do project in issue 102.

Our Man in Japan - 5Yummy Chimchar For Your Tea!

What I love about the branded kids’ food here in Japan is it’s fun, and healthy too! No chicken nuggets here – this Chimchar is made from flavoured rice, with bits of radish, olive and turnip sliced to make the face. With a tomato and egg Poké Ball to go with it, what a great way to get healthy, eh?

Our Man in Japan - 5Boom, Boom, Shake The Pokémon!

It seems that great minds think alike when it comes to Pokémon merchandise. Advertising the local Namco arcade here in Tokyo, I picked up a pair of really cool Boom Sticks, plastered with cool Pokémon images from Arceus and the Jewel of Life. Namco in Japan has obviously been subscribing to Pokémon World, as we have given away these Boom Sticks before, and by weird coincidence, in issue 103, on sale 29 April 2010, we have a new pair of Boom Sticks for you! Grab a copy for your very own PokéBattle Sticks!

Hee-hee! It’s amazing what you can find when you go searching through the local markets here in Japan. I don’t think these are even official, but how cool eh? Pokémon pants! I couldn’t resist buying a couple of pairs to show off to you Pokémon World readers. Sadly, Your Man in Japan won’t fit into them – my bum’s too big! Altogether now, “What a load of old pants!” Har, har!

Our Man in Japan - 5Flip or Flop?

What better way to get set for summer than with a pair of Pokémon flipflops? I’ve seen these three types so far; the black ones are my particular favourite!
