The Pokémon Company is expanding its merchandise portfolio with a creative new launch for fans and collectors in Japan.
The company recently announced the arrival of 'Pika Pika Mart', a distinctive merchandise collection that offers a playful take on what a supermarket might look like in the Pokémon world.
Known for its innovation in both gaming and licensed products, The Pokémon Company continues to push the boundaries of its brand offerings, capturing the imagination of Pokémon enthusiasts worldwide. Unveiled as an exclusive collection for the Japanese market, Pika Pika Mart features Pikachu not only as its iconic mascot but also as the face of a fictional supermarket chain.
The collection stands out with its branding, utilizing the ever-popular Pikachu as the logo, which nods to the beloved character’s status within the Pokémon franchise.
Each item is designed to evoke the everyday household products one might encounter in a supermarket, cleverly integrating familiar Pokémon as mascots for various goods. A representative from The Pokémon Company shared that the concept behind Pika Pika Mart was to explore everyday life within the Pokémon universe, imagining what kind of products and branding would exist if Trainers could shop for household necessities alongside their favorite Pokémon.
This household theme carries through the full range of merchandise, which includes items that resemble grocery products, stationery, and lifestyle accessories, all adorned with unique Pokémon motifs. The Pika Pika Mart merchandise line is scheduled to launch across Pokémon Center stores in Japan on December 6, 2025.
Pokémon Center outlets are renowned retail destinations for fans, offering exclusive products that frequently celebrate both current and classic elements of the franchise.
The company's decision to launch such a themed collection highlights its ongoing commitment to creative brand extensions, which have contributed to Pokémon's enduring popularity across decades. For collectors and fans of Nintendo’s Pokémon franchise, this new lineup further reinforces the franchise’s strong integration into pop culture and everyday life.
Pikachu, one of Nintendo’s and The Pokémon Company's most recognizable characters, remains at the forefront of marketing and product design, demonstrating the lasting appeal of the brand on both the Nintendo Switch and beyond.
With annual releases and frequent collaborations, the Pokémon brand has enjoyed significant success globally, with its merchandise sector playing a key role in its commercial achievements. The Pika Pika Mart line will be available exclusively in Japan’s Pokémon Center locations, beginning December 6, 2025.
