More huge life-size Eevee Pokémon evolution plushies are coming to take over your home【Photos】
Last month, the Pokémon Center revealed some very eye-catching, and eye-opening, Pokémon plushies for the set of Eevee evolutions, or Eeveelutions, as they're also known. How so? Because they're life-sized, and with Eevee being about the size of a housecat, not everyone was fully aware of just how big its evolved forms are.
The 1:1-scale (as per their official Pokédex profiles) plushie collection kicked off with Water-type Vaporeon, and Fire-type Flareon, and Electric-type Jolteon. But that's just the tip of the Eeveelution iceberg, so now they're being joined by Psychic-type Espeon and Dark-type Umbreon, who made their debuts in Pokémon's second generation.
Umbreon looks big enough to eat the woman in that photo, if it so desired, but if you're after a more numeric measurement of its size, the plushie is 76 centimeters (29.9 inches) in length. The Espeon plushie is even bigger, at 83 centimeters.
▼ 'Umm…hey Umbreon and Espeon. Do…do I have your permission to come up to the second floor of my house?'
▼ 'Ah, no, that's cool. You guys can have my bed. I can sleep on the floor.'
▼ 'Oh, the floor belongs to you now too? Sure, yeah, that's fine. I'll just scooch over towards the corner so I'm not in your way.'
Between Umbreon's shadowy color scheme and Espeon's mysterious eyes, these two might not have quite the same cuteness quotient as some of their Eeveelutions cousins, but they definitely make a statement as part of your home décor. They're sure to be conversation starters whenever you have friends over, and some of those conversations might be 'Hey, can you help me move my Eeveelutions?', since Espeon weighs 3.6 kilograms (7.9 pounds), and Umbreon is even bulkier, at 4.4 kilos.
Both life-size Eeveelutions are priced at 44,000 yen (US$303), with preorders now open here through Pokémon Center Online and running until June 16, and shipping slated for January of next year.

PokéPark KANTO to Open in Spring 2026 Inside Japan's Yomiuriland; Pokémon Forest, Sedge Town Areas to House Over 600 Pokémon
Yomiuri Land Co. and The Yomiuri Shimbun announced on Tuesday that 'PokéPark KANTO,' an outdoor facility to be built within the Yomiuriland amusement park, will open in spring 2026. It will be the first permanent outdoor facility themed around Pokémon. It will be operated by PokéPark KANTO LLC, an enterprise jointly established between The Pokémon Company, Yomiuri Land Co., and The Yomiuri Shimbun. Yomiuriland straddles Inagi, Tokyo, and Kawasaki in the lush green Tama Hills. PokéPark KANTO, which is to be accessed through Yomiuriland, will cover an area of about 2.6 hectares and contain 'Pokémon Forest,' an area which makes use of the surrounding natural environment, and 'Sedge Town,' where visitors will be able to enjoy activities including meet-and-greets with Pokémon and Forest will have walking trails spanning 500 meters where visitors can observe the expressions and movements of Pokémon living there up close. Sedge Town will feature two attractions and give fans, both from around Japan and overseas, opportunities to gather and interact with each other. Yomiuri group companies and The Pokémon Company have already collaborated in various fields. The Yomiuri Shimbun began running an educational column for children titled 'Pokémon to Issho ni Oboeyo! Kotowaza Daihyakka' (Let's memorize a proverb encyclopedia with Pokémon!) in its morning edition in 2009. 'The Pokémon Ryuosen' — a Pokémon gaming event named after the Ryuo, the most prestigious championship in shogi — was held for the first time in 2014. Tickets for the new facility are scheduled to go on sale around autumn, and further details will be announced at a later date. ©2025 Pokémon. ©1995-2025 Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK ®, and character names are trademarks of Nintendo.

Junichi Masuda: PokéPark KANTO, Where Pokémon Are Always There; Tokyo Facility May Evolve After Opening in Spring 2026
'PokéPark KANTO,' an outdoor facility centered on the Pokémon franchise, will open in spring 2026 within the Yomiuriland amusement park that straddles Inagi, Tokyo, and Kawasaki. In an interview with The Yomiuri Shimbun, Junichi Masuda, chief creative fellow at The Pokémon Company, who is leading the development of PokéPark KANTO, spoke about the facility and its main Yomiuri Shimbun: What inspired you to create PokéPark KANTO? Junichi Masuda: Next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the release of the first Pokémon video games, 'Pokémon Red' and 'Pokémon Green' (the latter sold as 'Pokémon Blue' overseas). Based on the original video games, the series has grown into a major franchise including anime and card games, creating a growing global fanbase. Whenever I've met fans at events in Japan and abroad, I've felt that it was wonderful how people were connected through Pokémon. As creators, ever since we made the first games, we have always valued communication through Pokémon. We wanted people to meet each other, trade Pokémon and become friends. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, people were unable to meet each other, and Pokémon events were almost completely canceled. At that time, I wanted to create a place where people could always gather. I wanted a space where people and Pokémon could enjoy themselves together. When I thought about how I could repay the fans who have loved Pokémon for 30 years, I thought, 'It would be fun to have a place where Pokémon are always there.'Yomiuri: Tell us about PokéPark KANTO Masuda: It consists of two areas: 'Pokémon Forest' and 'Sedge Town.' In the games, you travel through forests filled with wild Pokémon, so there's a real sense of relief when you finally arrive in a town and the atmosphere changes to one of safety. I think you'll get that exact feeling here. Pokémon Forest is a lush forest where Pokémon live. There are many Berries, attracting many Pokémon. As you walk through the forest, you will encounter many Pokémon, most of which are wild. We hope visitors will enjoy the adventure of feeling like Pokémon Trainers. Sedge Town is centered around Pokémon Trainers' Market where you can enjoy shopping for many kinds of merchandise. We want visitors to have fun like it's a festival, so we're planning a parade and greetings with Pokémon. There are two other attractions, which we also hope they'll also created a Pokémon Center, Poké Mart and Gym [modeled on those] that appear in the games. I was impressed when I saw the Pokémon Center. Yomiuri: What aspects did you focus on? Masuda: We deliberately separated this project from digital [technology] and focused on the idea of 'a world where Pokémon exist' and 'can be touched.' In Pokémon GO, when you hold up your smartphone, it looks like there are Pokémon in the real world. But when you reach out, they're not there. I thought that having Pokémon that are really there and that you can touch is something we haven't done before, so I wanted to give it a reason for choosing an outdoor setting is that wild Pokémon live in forests and other natural environments. They fly through the sky and move around freely. [In the forest,] you can feel the wind blowing and smell flowers, and Pokémon are there too. I thought that being in nature is very important for living creatures. We are pursuing the appeal of the outdoors. Yomiuri: What points would you like visitors to pay particular attention to? Masuda: Pokémon are living creatures, so just like humans, each one has its own unique character. There are over 600 Pokémon in PokéPark KANTO, and we have created a story for each and every one of them. For example, if it's shy, it might be looking downward a little. We want [visitors] to pay attention to what each Pokémon is looking at, where its gaze is mannerisms are all different too. If two are standing side by side, they might be friends. If they have their backs turned to each other, they might be fighting. I hope visitors will talk about it with their friends and let their imaginations run wild. We hope that visitors will enjoy this facility in a way that is different from previous Pokémon experiences. Yomiuri: What is your message for children? I think that children today don't have many opportunities to play in the woods or touch the soil. In the woods, their feet may get dirty, but I want children to enjoy that. Some Pokémon are so big that visitors have to look up at them, so I want the visitors to compare the size of Pokémon to their own body. There are also Pokémon that visitors can ride on. Yomiuri: What future plans are there for PokéPark KANTO?Masuda: PokéPark KANTO will not be complete when it opens. The Pokémon available at the facility may change depending on the weather or season, and some may even evolve in the future. Since they are living things, they are not always the same. I think that some parts of the facility may change little by little over the years. Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to fans around the world who have continued to support Pokémon. I am truly grateful that we were able to create this facility to coincide with our 30th anniversary. I hope that visitors will find their favorite Pokémon and think, 'I'll come back to see them again.'Junichi Masuda Masuda was born in 1968 and is originally from Yokohama, Japan. As a founding member of GAME FREAK inc., he is one of the original authors of the Pokémon video game series. Masuda has been involved as a director, producer and video game composer for the Pokémon video game series since 1989. He has been in his current position since 2022. ©2025 Pokémon. ©1995-2025 Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK ®, and character names are trademarks of Nintendo.

McDonald's Japan announces Pokémon Trading Card Happy Meals with guaranteed Pikachus
You don't need to specifically choose Pikachu, because it's a promise that he'll be in your Happy Meal. McDonald's Japan is right in the middle of a collaboration with Sanrio, currently serving up Happy Meals with summer suntanned Hello Kitty Toys. But cravings for burgers and fries will always return, and so McDonald's is already planning its next team-up with a superstar character in Japan, and this time it's Pikachu. Coming on August 8 is a new line of Pokémon Happy Meal toys, and fans of the franchise have most likely now marked that date on their calendars. If you can hold off until the next day, though, there's something even better, as in addition to the toy, you'll also get exclusive Pokémon Trading Card Game cards! The lineup consists of a half-dozen Pocket Monster species, including Riolu, Ralts, and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet starters Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. Then, of course, there's Pikachu, whose card features an adorable illustration of the franchise mascot sitting in a restaurant booth and about to dig into a delicious hamburger. Well, actually, judging from the way the cutlery on the table is oriented, he's asking for a bite of the burger ordered by the Pokémon Trainer who's taken him along on this McDonald's run, but come on, get serious, there's no way anyone would ever say no to such a heart meltingly cute appeal. 8/8(金)～ハッピーセット®にポケモンのおもちゃが登場！8/9(土)〜8/11(月)はポケモンカードも もらえるよ！#ポケモン #ポケカ — マクドナルド (@McDonaldsJapan) July 15, 2025 With a total of six designs, though, you might be wondering how many Happy Meals you're going to have to order in order to snag the Pikachu card, but that's where the deal gets really sweet. Each Happy Meal comes with two Pokémon cards, and one of them is guaranteed to be Pikachu. However, while the odds are in your favor, time isn't necessarily on your side. McDonald's is yet to say how long the Pokémon Happy Meal will be available for, but usually each toy theme runs for about two weeks. The Pokémon cards, however, will only be given out on August 9, 10, and 11. And should you decide to go on august 8 as well to make extra-sure you don't miss out on the toys, ending up with a bunch of leftover McDonald's French fries in the process, we've got some tasty ideas for how to reuse them.
