I have some raycons they're great

[@sarahvanbuskirk7432]

What about the pokemon cook book that makes all your healthy dishes into pokemon

[@sarahvanbuskirk7432]

Just saying you didn't have to eat all these junk food options

[@Tenko72]

I own enough merch that I'm not sure what counts as strange anymore. I consider the Pokemon Center NY Flaaffy sign to be my strangest one, because I'm just, like, how did anyone get this sign to sell it to begin with? Why is it as big as a bed? The second strangest would be a Psyduck bath mat and Pokemon bath set. My bathroom is Pokemon themed and I love it. When I wash Psyduck, I put the Pokeball bath mat out and vice versa. It's awesome.

[@cassie6146]

The Pokemon Company really needs to tap into the home appliance market with Rotom washing machines, dryers, etc.

[@King_Kitsune]

I would unironically use a rotom fridge. Also I actually have that Pokeball popcorn maker

[@fatiyahe]

we need a snorlax beanbag chair

[@ScarIsARebel]

Would definitely buy a rotom refrigerator

[@Flandre_Scarlet8]

And an actual Rotom to posses the items

I was dying laughing when that part came up

[@nametheocmaker]

oh god.... dont remind me.....

[@sankeshia]

I love how Lockstin slowly gets more unhinged as the video goes on. Also pretty sure if you live off only the official pokemon food you'll die from diabetes or malnutrition but I'd watch the hell out of someone trying to survive 7 day pokemon food only challenge.

[@davetheimpaler204]

7 days would be no problem. It should be 30 days, like that guy who lived off Big Macs. Also, I thought there were Pokémon-themed restaurants in Japan?

[@sarthakarora3212]

There are actual pokemon restaurants with healthy and normal Pokemon theme food. I don't know why he did not take about the food served in the Pokemon cafes.

[@Conorator]

@@sarthakarora3212 He didn't talk about it because it's just normal food. He mentioned that Pokemon Cafes existed, but brushed them off due to making food at home with Pokemon merch being more interesting.

[@MelonHere20]

That would be entertaining

[@L-and-P]

I can just imagine him trying to hunt with a Pokémon foam sword or something.

[@lavenderly_]

Y'know when I heard that the Pokémon company gets a majority of their profits from merchandise, it always boggled my mind,and then I watched this video.

[@MythicMachina]

Honestly, I'd belive that just from toys and plushies alone. Like, everyone has or has had a Pokemon plushie at one point. And most Pokemon fans have like... 12.

[@StickMaster500]

3:23 Pikachu with blue balls is probably one of the most cursed things I’ve seen

[@Krishy-dz4ov]

You fool, what have you done. You have summoned the bots. Run, run while you can. Before it’s too late

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

My takeaway from this is that official Pokémon merch hasn't gone far enough.

[@michaelnelson1127]

I agree, especially in terms of food-related packaging. I’m surprised they haven’t done any Pokémon-themed egg cartons yet or Pokémon-themed hot sauces (Fire-type or Tamato berry on the cover?) Also I’m pretty sure they’ve had some celery bags or clementine bags in the past. Building off what Lockstin said, if there’s a kind of product, Pokémon should be able to put its name on it.

[@whisperingwooper1763]

Okay as a plant lover I would 100% get the squirtle watering can too bad it’s not a wailmer from the gen 3 games. It’s insane how much Pokémon merch there is

[@Conorator]

You can actually buy a Wailmer Pail on Etsy, it just costs $80.

[@cassandracastro2759]

You forgot the Pokemon Cookbook, anything you eat made using those recipes would count as living of Pokemon merchandise (there are recipes for things as simple as rice to things like pizza).

[@TheMrCoolBoi]

Yes

(sorry, i was reminded of that meme of yours) 14:07 they made a pokemon charging adapter, and DIDN'T model it after elekid?! WHY!? The guy's horns are LITERALLY a PLUG!

[@rikimaroshu]

Pokemon also has a cook book, but i guess cooking with real food isn't pokemon enough. Your also putting more effort in how it looks than its taste.

[@Tenko72]

There is more than one. I own the one targeted to kids, so everything uses store bought stuff and is made in microwaves, making it most useful for ideas than actual recipes. Fortunately, I do know how to cook. I first found out about candied beans from this cook book. Why does the USA not have candied beans?! We add sugar to everything else.

[@piercelee1097]

I'd love if Lockstin's accountant had a KZbin channel to breakdown his monthly Pokémon related spending.

I have the Pokémon colors book for my two year old and we both love it. The art style is vivid and eye catching, and he loves lifting the flaps. Really good kids books have a certain way of drawing the eye and I can’t recommend this enough for any poke fan parent. They could have just made a really simple, shameless pikachu cash-in throw away but they made a quality children’s book

When it comes to the Halloween merch I'll quote Alice Cooper. "Keep Halloween Alive, 365."

[@Tenko72]

I own enough merch to know the answer is yes, but you probably wouldn't thrive, unless recipes count as merch, since curry would contain all the vitamins and minerals. There's a reason the military used curry to prevent beriberi. Anyway, I never knew all of those lil appliances existed! I want them!

[@rotciv557]

Pokemon has an official cooking book with a pretty wide variety of recipes in it so I'd say any of those would count.

There has to be a Pokémon cookbook and if you make food from that I think it qualifies for the food category.

If people can theoretically live off Pokemon march, they can certainly live off Disney and Star Wars merch.

Pokemon really needs to tap into the pet market more. Sure, real pets are, in a way, their competitors, but a lot of people would love to surround their pets with Pokemon supplies. Just remember kids: you can treat your pets like Pokemon all you want, but never battle them for sport.
