With the recent release and potential of Pokemon Unite coming to Mobile platforms, the Pokemon franchise has been extending its popularity into communities that may not have been very invested before now.

Fortunately for new fans, this popularity comes with special events hosted by companies to showcase content from the games, such as Build-A-Bear's collection of Pokemon to choose from, from Eevee and Flareon to Pikachu and Mew. Build-A-Bear and other companies appealing to video game audiences is a great outlet for players to purchase merchandise of their favorite games.
This trend has hit the shelves of Build-A-Bear with its addition of Espeon. Along with the stuffed animal itself, the Eeveelution comes with a unique purple cape, hood to match its fur, and a recording of Espeon's individual voice lines. The dedicated plushie creation appears incredibly accurate to that of the well known Espeon in-game, and features the Pokemon's unique ears and tail. As the icing on the cake, the hood's purple hue highlights Espeon's Physic abilities well.
Many fans both in the comments and across the internet are already asking for ample stock of the plushie, as the Pokemon selection at Build-A-Bear tends to bring a large fanbase to the store. With an upcoming Pokemon Brilliant Diamond remake release in November, fans of the series are looking for an outlet to release their hype. In addition, many Pokemon lovers enjoy the collectible aspect of the franchise, and these Build-A-Bear pieces add well to their collections.
Merchandise and collectability is a long running aspect of the Pokemon franchise, from its original roots in the Pokemon TCG. Fans of the series have been so dedicated they have turned to making their own unique creations of the titles such as a Pikachu themed keyboard. With larger companies taking up the torch to produce Pokemon merchandise, the community will continue to have even more outlets for their love of the game.
