In the world of Pokemon, the trainers travel around the world battling one another, catching wild Pokemon, and earning gym badges. Pokemon Champions like Ash Ketchum even travel to other regions and continents in search of new Pokemon and new opponents to face. And now, when you are traveling both domestically and abroad, you can look like you are a Pokemon Master, too!
Pop culture goods and book store Village Vanguard in Japan has released a new line of Pokemon-themed travel accessories for discerning Pokemon fans to check out. The series has everything a traveler needs to be both comfortable, and also show everyone their love of Pokemon. There are plenty of items in the line, each of them useful while also having a clever or cute design.
The Cute Pokemon Travel Accessories
Let’s start with the cute items in the Pokemon travel accessory line. The one that draws the eye the most is the transformable travel pillow, which comes in three varieties. The available Pokémon for the travel pillow are Snorlax, Slowpoke, and Pikachu (of course!). What makes the travel pillow so special is that it can change between three forms; the usual half-moon-shaped travel pillow with the Pokemon printed on the outside, a Pokeball, and the Pokemon’s head. You can use it however you need to when you need a pillow on the go.
The other really cute item in the Pokemon travel accessories line is a collapsible bag. The bag comes in two patterns, both of which are shoulder bags that can fold down into a small case for storing inside your larger luggage and using when you get to your destination – or when you buy too many cool Pokemon things on your trip to Japan and need more luggage to make it home. The available patterns are Pikachu in yellow, which features its face on the front of the case and its tail on the back, or a pink one with all the Evolutions on it.
The Practical Pokemon Travel Accessories
Just as the above cute items are certainly practical as well, these more practical items are arguably also quite cute! The first are luggage straps that can help keep your overstuffed suitcase from splitting open when you’re traveling, and also help you identify it at the airport. These come in patterns that match the collapsible bag, with a yellow Pikachu version and a pastel Eeveelution version. An added point of interest for the Evolution print is that it has the Eeveelutions’ Japanese names on it rather than their English names, which makes it an item unique to Japan.
If you want a triple matching set of either Pikachu or Eeveelution items, you can also get a hair straightener in a matching soft case for on-the-go styling before your big gym battle. Finally, the last two practical items are travel wallets and passport cases. The travel wallets come in pastel colors that match the travel pillows, featuring Snorlax, Slowpoke, or Pikachu on them. The passport case comes in two varieties, one with Pikachu all over it, and the other with just its face.
All the items in the Pokemon travel accessory line are reasonably priced, with the travel pillow and collapsible bag both being the most expensive at 4,950 yen ($33 USD), and the cheapest being the passport case at 1,320 yen ($9 USD). They can all be purchased either at a Village Vanguard store, which can be found all over Japan, or via the Village Vanguard Official Website. They are really great items for remembering your trip to Japan, or for using when you travel to let everyone know you are a Pokemon Master.
