As we get closer and closer to Halloween, the Pokémon Company have released details of their “Halloween Parade” at their Japanese Pokémon Center locations.
The set includes lots of new plushes, including various Pikachu cosplaying as Ghost-type Pokémon such as Golbat, Dusklops and Gengar. There’s also a special edition Gengar hoodie, among other things.
A promotional video was created to showcase all of the Halloween themed merchandise. You can watch the video below.

You can see the entire collection here.
The Halloween Parade will start on September 5th.

A Pikachu with bat wings, vampire fangs, AND a top hat. Whoever came up with that idea deserves a medal. It's so goofy, funny, and cute all at the same time. XD

Crazy how a few years back, no one really cared about Halloween. Now, it's almost as big as Christmas.

Tell me about it....I was seeing Halloween stuff in July....LET ME ENJOY MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!! SAVE THAT HALLOWEEN STUFF FOR AUGUST! SCREW UP THEIR BIRTHDAY MONTH!

Ahem....I totally hope some of this Halloween stuff leaks over into the English Pokemon Center website for October. I would love to snatch up one of those Pikachu plushes for myself.

I've already seen Halloween seasonal stores popping up as early as July. Now that's NUTS.

As for the English Pokemon Center website offering these, it would be criminal for them not to.

Yeah there's a lot more seasonal stores (even year round ones here) popping up. There's a store called Christmas Tree Shops. They have all seasonal items out near year round. Not the scented stuff though or foods.

Yeah it would be nice to see these up on the Pokemon Center website. Now that they have such a thing it's possible. Though, more stores around the world at some point would be welcome as well. If they at least add the special plushes, key chains, or other items on the website for all to buy I guess that works out at least.

And I was fuming every time I saw it.

No way! It would be wrong! Hopefully they will be in there soon. That Gengar-Pikachu is uber wicked.
