So, how do you up your game when it comes to reviving the magic? One of the best ways to up your game is to find the best collectibles out there, including going internationally, and that’s where Plaza Japan comes in! Check out more ways that Plaza Japan delivers - literally - on all the ways you can show your love for Pokemon while #adulting.

Plaza Japan: Fun in the Original Japanese

If you grew up with the first wave of the 1990s Pokemon craze, you’ll likely remember how rare and highly sought after any Japanese originals were, from the trading cards and games to rare plush toys themselves.

The Original Trading Card Game

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of revealing Pokemon playing cards in their original Japanese, especially for collectors who can’t get enough of the rare and one-of-a-kind artwork that is often region-specific. Whether for a special tournament, a collection that will make your friends jellicent, or for a treasured card of your favorite Pokemon, Plaza Japan has everything you’ll need to make your inner child (and your inner child’s classmates) jealous.

Authenticity Guaranteed

Nothing can be more frustrating to any collector than realizing that the item you fell in love with wasn’t the real deal, and that can especially be the case when you’re ordering internationally and expecting authentic merchandise. Plaza Japan has been in the business of working directly with trusted Japanese manufacturers since 2004, including Pokemon Center Online, to ensure that everything you find is exactly as you’d find it in Japan - without the travel!

Find It Here First

With so many regional differences between what is available in Japan and what you can find anywhere else, it can be hard to find unique Japanese goods. This is especially so because not everything originally sold in Japan ever gets sold outside of Japan, especially due to popularity. That’s where Plaza Japan comes in! When you order from Plaza Japan, you’re getting the first picks of what’s available in Japan long before it reaches you (or is sold out!).

New Takes on Old Classics

There are even more ways to integrate your favorite childhood fandom with your vibes as an adult, including fun new aesthetics. One that comes to mind is the “Saiko” Soda Pop line, a fun, whimsical, and intentionally old-fashioned take on Pokemon toys and action figures. Another is in the form of high-quality, highly poseable figurines, suitable for any desk or workspace. These options give extra permission to embrace the fandom in a way that can feel as mature as it is playful.

Order with Confidence

POV: you went from asking adults for permission to asking yourself if you can buy it for yourself.

The workaround? Order from Plaza Japan because you don’t need to justify your joy to anyone! The only thing you have to choose is the shipping option that works best for you.

Be a Kid At Heart

Part of the fun in reviving the favorite parts of your childhood is adding a touch of that magic to your everyday adult world. That’s why now, more than ever, adults are driving the toy market: fun is important at every age! It’s also why there are so many Pokemon plushies that just seem like they’re calling to you and your inner child: if you were ever “that kid” who wasn’t allowed to have Pokemon, you were “that kid” who regrets giving them away, or you are the forever kid-at-heart who wants to keep building on what you cherished the most, look no further than Plaza Japan!

So, what are you waiting for? Mega-evolve your fun with Plaza Japan today!
