Originally launched in 2016, Pokemon Go helped propel the Pokemon franchise back into mainstream pop culture relevance. While Pokemon never “went away,” Pokemon Go pushed the franchise back into the eyes of millions of new and lapsed fans and created an entire new generation of Pokemon gamers. While Pokemon Go‘s popularity has slowed since its 2016 heyday, the game still has a dedicated fanbase and sits regularly on best-selling app charts. The Pokemon Company has also incorporated some of Pokemon Go‘s game mechanics into their other games (such as 2018’s Pokemon: Let’s Go games) and has released several other mobile gaming apps since its release.
You can check out the full Pokemon Go line of merchandise on the Pokemon Center online store. Prices range from $25-$55, making them a perfect choice for that Pokemon Go fan in your family.
