This adorable plush and plush key chain recreate Pikachu’s original look from the Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green games. Longtime Pokémon fans will no doubt remember the excitement of exploring Viridian Forest in the first Pokémon video games. There, lucky Trainers met the iconic (and elusive!) Pikachu for the first time. It’s been 30 years since that first momentous encounter, and you can commemorate the occasion with a pair of incredible new plush from Pokémon Center.

The Pikachu 1996 Style Plush is bursting with retro charm. With its monochrome palette and pixelated features, this charming little chonkster faithfully recreates Pikachu’s original appearance in the Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green video games for Game Boy. In addition to the infinitely huggable plush, there’s also the Pikachu 1996 Style Plush Key Chain that brings big-time nostalgic vibes to your bag, backpack, or lanyard.

Video game graphics may have advanced during these past 30 years, but these lovable plush prove that pixels are timeless. Don’t miss adding a bit of ’90s flair to your Pokémon plush collection.
