kalos/gen 6 pokemon fit thoughts / 5/31/2024
with the last pokemon fit (of unova) releasing in january 2023, a lot of folks had waited patiently for the next generation to release (if they werent busy trying to get their favorites).. and now its finally here, seemingly unexpected!
i had pissed my pants before the announcement. i guess that was an omen? (joking, of course)
about the lineup, we're getting all of the vivillon forms and furfrou haircuts. thats actually incredible!!! i had thought before it was taking a while because they were doing mega evolutions, but i suppose they wont (unless theyre saving it for the next legends game)
like the other butterfly 'mons who got plushies so far, vivillion is quite similar to them as sorta.. chibi-like! its already on my want list, alongside spewpa (which i absolutely love forever and ever)
a bit of a closeup (not in the best quality, since i snubbed it from a gif) but even bergmites here! and theyre adorable!!
just like bergmites line, honedge, binacle and skrelps lines are getting plushies! its as expected for a pkmn fit line, but honedge honestly looks incredible in my eyes.
both flabebe, spritzee and swirlix also get plushies, and i cant help but feel swirlix is incredibly accurate. maybe im just cornplating though, since swirlix is one of my favorites (i do have 2 plushies of swirlix, so it'd be nice to have another!)
flabebe also already had a plush before, but it was limited within pokemon centers and goes for high prices. its nice to see the little fairy get something newer (and hopefully cheaper), but id still like to get the limited one..
last thing to note is that a shop will be opened (within japan, dont get your hopes up) dedicated to the fit plushies. im not sure if they did the same thing with the unova fits, but itd be a cool experience to be there!
thats really all else i can say. its always nice to get pokemon fit news, and i hope the merchline is longlasting so anyone can get a plush of their favorites; obscure or not. im personally excited for the other generations, in which im able to wait a few years.. i mean, we'll be doing the same with any other pokemon game (or ratatan).
