The 20th anniversary celebrations keep on coming: merchandise based off the sprite work from Red, Green, Blue and Yellow are being sold in Japan!

Those cushions are oddly cheap. But oh my god those pencil cases?? Where were these when I was a kid and R/B/Y was the new, hip thing?!

Damn this merchandise is so good... it's making me want to move to Japan hahahaha

I'd buy one of those cushions. They'd be very neat to decorate with in a game room.

Makes me want to bust out the beads and make my own sprite art! :)

If I could justify spending $70+ on a hat (before shipping), I'd love to have that pixel Pikachu one. But of course they're New Era, which makes them more expensive by default.

If everything was a bit cheaper and more readily available I'd love to grab a bunch of things, but I guess for now I'll just enjoy looking at pictures of them :p

If the bags weren't so expensive, I would buy one in an instant. I really like the keychains as well; randomising them seems like a cool feature. Although, it would suck if you got two of the same, or the Pokéball one.

Oh my, I want to have these so badly! Kinda strange, isn't it? It's super pixel-y and hardly recognizable as a Pokémon, yet they're super adorable. If only their prizes didn't exceed the budget of a poor student like myself...

I'd go broke just buying these.

I'm very tempted to go broke for a week just spending all my money on these.
