Playing thePokemongames, watching the show, and collectingthe trading cardsis all well and good, but some people want their fandom of the series to go further than that. Especially those of you who have grown up on Pokemon and might be looking for more grown-up ways to show the world Pokemon is for everyone, regardless of how old you are. One of the best ways to do that is to kit your home out in Pokemon decor.
RELATED:Best Pokemon Backpacks
Since Pokemon officially has its hands on just about everything you could possibly imagine at this point on its timeline, there’s an almost endless number of items to choose from when it comes to kitting out your house with home decor inspired by the series. That also means there’s a long list of items to choose from when buying a gift for the grown-up Pokemon fan in your life. Whether buying for your own home or some else’s, we’ve got something to suit any and all Pokemon fans below.
Pokemon Waffle Maker
Pokemon Waffles With Vanillite On Top, Yum!
Pokemon’s officially licensed waffle makers are not only adorned with all three Kanto starters, but each version puts the faces of those Pokemon on your waffles. Deciding to buy one is easy. Having to pick between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle yet again, on the other hand, maybe not so much.
I think about Pokemon pretty much every waking moment of the day - and now all through the night too thanks to Pokemon Sleep. I’m assuming that since you’re here looking for ways to decorate your home with Pokemon merch you think about it a lot too. That’s why when I was told there’s a way for Pokemon to be looking back up at me when I glance down at my breakfast, I jumped at the chance to make it happen. Pokemon’s waffle makers not only print a picture of a Pokemon’s face on your waffles, but the shells are brightly colored and covered in Pokemon too. Win-win!
Pokemon Winter Wonders Glass Tumblers
Perfect For Pokemon Milk, Apparently
Pokemon’s Winter Wonders glass tumblers come as a set of four, each with a repeating pattern etched into the glass all the way around. That repeating pattern features Pikachu’s face as well as other winter-themed decorations.
A lot of the items on this list will be home decor items that let you kit out your home Pokemon-style in a far more subtle way than you would have as a kid. These tumblers might well be my favorite way to do that. Subtle enough that the Pikachu silhouettes etched into them may go entirely unnoticed. Not in the hands of a Pokemon fan, though. Those you want to notice your very cool Pokemon glassware will pick up on it, and isn’t that really the point of owning most of the items in this guide?
Pokemon Winter Wonders Pillow Covers
Pikachu Pokemon Pillows
Pokemon scatter pillows you can bundle together in one spot, spread around a room, or dot around your house. I like the final option. Let visitors know you love Pikachu in as many rooms as possible.
Pikachu Pokemon pillows. Not only is it fun to say, but they’re fun to own, and also fun to give as gifts, especially around the holidays. Even though they have a wintery feel to them, these covers can definitely be used year-round. Also, before you give me stick for playing a Pikachu card right off the bat, flip these bad boys over and take a look at the print on the back. Each cushion is covered in different Pokemon including Vulpix, Glaceon, and Piplup. The only real downside is you’re paying for the covers alone, so make sure whoever you’re buying them for has some cushions that will fit inside.
Kanto Gym Badge Magnets
Now, Where’s Indigo Plateau?
Still the eight badges most synonymous with the Pokemon series as they were the ones introduced in the very first games. Now Kanto’s badges are officially fridge magnets.
As many Pokemon games and their various badges and trainers are thrown at us, fans of a certain age will always recognize the eight badges above as the ones you need to become a Pokemon Master more than any that have come since. The eight badges you needed to collect on the very first Pokemon journey in Red, Blue, and then Yellow. Recreated as magnets in stunning detail, buy these for someone who needs reminding of their battles with the original Elite Four every time they go to the fridge for a snack.
Pokemon Curtains
Kids Need Home Decor Too
Not all home decor needs to be for grown-ups. The best room in the house to kit out in Pokemon gear is your child’s bedroom, and including these curtains in your plan means some of the OG ‘mons will be the focal point of that room every single night.
You hear the phrase home decor and you probably think of boring grown-up stuff like plants and cushions. However, kids’ rooms need to be decorated too, and that’s where Pokemon products really come into their own. It’s where Pokemon stuff can be extra colorful, and that’s exactly what these curtains are. The perfect representation of Kanto, the anime, and its starter Pokemon as Pikachu is back, and they’ve brought a few more of the most instantly recognizable Pokemon on the planet along with them.
Destination Pokemon Posters
Take Me To Alola
Pokemon’s world is filled with beautiful destinations that will be tourist spots for everyone who calls that fictional universe home. These posters showcase each region’s beauty in a way that looks like they have been made to appeal to those tourists.
I’ve noticed as an adult that posters often have a stigma attached to them. They’re viewed as things kids have on their walls depicting footballers or scantily-clad celebrities. However, posters can also be art, even Pokemon ones. In fact, in this specific instance, especially Pokemon ones. The Pokemon Destination Posters set includes eight posters, each of them capturing the beauty of a different region from Kanto all the way through to Galar. Galar was actually added to the collection after it already existed which means the set may well get a Paldea poster in the future too.
Pokemon Pokeball Cookie Jar
Perfect For Your Pokemon Sleep Biscuits
Pokemon biscuits are a bigger deal than ever now thanks to Pokemon Sleep. you may’t keep those cookies in this snazzy Pokeball cookie jar, but you can keep real ones, and any number of other treats, in there if you like.
Whether you’re thinking someone needs something to perfectly store their cookies, or you think they might need an item to protect their biscuits from visitors and little ones, this Pokeball cookie jar is the answer. Usually, what’s inside is the main event of a cookie jar being brought into the equation, but with this one, its design will get everybody’s attention before they remember what they actually want is inside. Pokemon biscuits have also never been hotter as they’re what you need to befriend Pokemon inPokemon Sleep. You can’t keep those biscuits in this jar, butit’s perfect for Pokemon Oreos.
Pokemon Peel And Stick Wall Decals
Peel And Stick ‘Em All
An entire selection of different Pokemon that have been turned into decals. Decals that can be stuck to interior walls and peeled off without leaving a mark and so they can then be stuck and peeled elsewhere.
If you know someone with little kids, know that they live in fear that at any given moment, they could walk into a room and that room has been redecorated with a set of felt tip pens by their little ones. Even if you put all pens up and out of the way, don’t worry, they’ll find them. How about helping those little ones learn that drawing on the walls isn’t okay by giving them something they can stick all over them instead? This set of Pokemon decals has been specifically designed to be stuck on interior walls and peeled off without leaving a mark. They can then be stuck elsewhere, letting your kids decorate as many walls and rooms as they like.
Pokemon Gardening Medium Planter
Plant Some Leech Seeds
Most Pokemon live outside, so your Pokemon home decor should extend to the garden too. It’s also best that anything in the garden revolves around Grass-types, so this Bulbasaur plant pot ticks all the boxes.
While I don’t know this for a fact, my time with Pokemon has led me to believe much like animals in the real world, Pokemon live outside. Wild Pokemon that is, not ones that have been caught so they live in Pokeballs or areshacked up with Ash’s mom like Mr. Mime. Sorry, no time for that tangent now. Since most Pokemon live outside, the best part of a house to deck out in Pokemon gear is the garden. This plant pot is the perfect place to start, and maybe you can grow something in there that looks a little like a Pokemon. An Oddish would be easy to do if you pretend everything other than its leaves is buried in the soil. Wait, is that a little dark? I’m sure it’ll be fine.
FAQ
How Many Pokemon Are There?
We’ve come a long way since the days of there only being 151 Pokemon to remember. The Pokemon Company has expanded on that original selection time and time again, up until now where there’s an eye-watering 1,010 Pokemon in total. Good luck catching ‘em all now, especially sinceGame Freakhas stopped including all of them in each of its new games.
What Is The Strongest Pokemon?
If you have played the Pokemon games for as long as I have, you’ve probably had a few healthy debates over who the strongest Pokemon of all is. Mewtwo might have a claim, but the general consensus now is Arceus. Considered the creator of the Pokemon universe, and the creature responsible for space and time as its inhabitants know it, it’s hard to argue with anyone who tells you Arceus, which is basically a Pokemon god, isn’t the strongest Pokemon of all.
