The collection, announced back in April, celebrates Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s 30th anniversary with over 75 Target-exclusive items at pretty darn reasonable prices.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Most of the collection takes inspiration from the late &#8217;90s and early 2000s, featuring collaborations with brands like Lip Smacker and NatureWell. The only caveat? The items are a mix of in-store and online exclusives, making it a pretty ambitious feat to try and collect \u2018em all. <\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Target x Pok\u00e9mon 30th Anniversary Collection Just Dropped Online <\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Apparel makes up the majority of what\u2019s now available online, with a full line of T-shirts inspired by individual Pok\u00e9mon. We\u2019re talking Gengar, Eevee, Charizard, and Jigglypuff &#8211; the classics, truly. The apparel is, for the most part, available in both adult&#8217;s and children&#8217;s sizes, with prices ranging from around $15 to $40. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In line with the late &#8217;90s and early 2000s theme, you&#8217;ll find full lines of Pok\u00e9mon-themed Lip Smackers and detangling brushes. On the less nostalgic end of the spectrum, there\u2019s a good ol\u2019 Charizard Funko Pop!. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">A fair chunk of the collection is only available in stores, so you\u2019ll have to confirm what stock is like at your local Target. We don&#8217;t know the full scope of what will be available online, but some items you may only be able to grab in-person include sticker sheets, water bottles, and a Kanto-themed jacket.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">You&#8217;ll also have to check your local Target for any of the Pok\u00e9mon-themed food items, like Pop-Tarts. I truly hope those don\u2019t become collectibles.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Some items, like cute training caps and Pok\u00e9-kickballs, will become available as part of a second wave launching on June 6. There\u2019s no word on whether that second wave will also include a restock of items from this weekend\u2019s launch. <\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\"><strong>Target x Pok\u00e9mon Collection: Key Dates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li><strong>May 2: <\/strong>Wave 1 available in stores<\/li>\n<li><strong>May 3:<\/strong> Wave 1 available online at 8am CT<\/li>\n<li><strong>June 6: <\/strong>Wave 2 available online and in stores<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It\u2019s safe to say Pok\u00e9mon hasn\u2019t been shy about 30th anniversary celebrations. We\u2019ve seen the re-release of Fire Red and Leaf Green on Switch, as well as some pretty generous events in Pok\u00e9mon Go. We also got our first look at the next mainline Pok\u00e9mon generation, Winds and Waves.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Pok\u00e9mon Gen 10 Reveal: Over 40 Stills From the Winds &amp; Waves Trailer<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The company hasn\u2019t been shy about its merch collaborations, either. Earlier this year, we got our hands on the first-ever Pok\u00e9mon LEGO sets, including full builds for Pikachu and Eevee. Puma recently released a spread of Pok\u00e9mon-themed sneakers, and there\u2019s even a line of Pok\u00e9mon-themed Goldfish dropping next week.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Does the most profitable media franchise of all time deserve the hype? I mean, I\u2019d say so. At the very least, it\u2019s cool to see The Pok\u00e9mon Company embracing collaborations at different price points. (Just don\u2019t pay attention to the trading card situation.)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Blythe (she\/her) is an Audience Development Coordinator at IGN who spends way too much time in character customization screens and tracking down collectibles. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/where-to-buy-target-x-pokemon-collection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Target\u2019s massive Pok\u00e9mon collaboration is now available online.
