To close off this run of discussions related to Pokémon merchandise, I have a quite sensational discussion topic. The Pokédex Plush dolls, which are the life-size plush dolls I referred to in an earlier post, have taken the Pokémon merchandise realm by storm. This is especially true of the latest release, which I'll get to in just a bit. With such a state of affairs, it seems to make sense that the merchandise series will continue, and to that end, I've decided to pose a few potential targets for the series.
Regarding the latest members, they are the Eeveelutions - all eight of them - also becoming a complement to this "Year of Eevee". Since a number of evolved Pokémon species are being featured (think Gardevoir and Lucario), other evolved Pokémon that make for good "cuddle buddies" could receive the treatment - the recently popular Meowscarada and the timeless Wigglytuff are strong candidates for this purpose, and several fan sectors might just pony up their support (and cash).
Of course, a few of the other members of this plush group are some of the "familiar yellow" ones, being Pikachu and Psyduck. Both not to mention are also rightful "cuddle buddies" in the same vein as the above. Other Pokémon that fit either of the above criteria - and as such may become potential plush targets - could be Yamper and Zeraora. Granted, the support for these Pokémon are even more sectional than the above, but if the demand is present, they might just get their way.
As for the rest of the Pokédex Plush doll crew, there is the oddball of Porygon, which suggests that other "oddballs" may have their ways of making them be realized as part of this illusory group. Those other "oddballs" might then consist of Rhyhorn (since Jolteon has been done and there are other beanbag-sized merchandise) and Primarina (which has overtones of certain senses but is an odd choice in itself). Others might be good choices to and would reflect other preferences.
If there's one other word that could be used to describe this series of plush dolls, it would be "engaging", since all of the ones realized so far have had this quality for the fans of the Pokémon species of concern. The potential species that could be realized as part of this series may be considered to have some of that "engaging" quality even without the existence of plush dolls in this manner, and if they were realized, that might just make for a different world of "engagement".
