A new piece of Pokemon merch is taking the internet by storm, as a Hoenn favorite and a piece of stationary are combined gloriously.
Every singlePokemonhas a fan, every single one. Even with well over 1000 of the creatures, there is a dedicated fan base for every ‘mon under the sun (Trubbish gang rise up), and because of this, every single Pocket Monster is bound to get some fun merch.
