She is indeed the princess of Pokemon cosplay. Why would anyone even set out on such a mission? She has it all, from a car to a [figurine of everyone of the beasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/younghee-doll). Not surprisingly, she is also a conference regular and considered very much a Pokemon expert. "I also create my very own costumes that I wear to [Pokemon Events, Kids Events, Conventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trading-tcg) and other media related events," she says. "I just don't collect Pokemon, I pretty much live it as well." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collectibles Obsession:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop an online platform or app that connects collectors of various types of collectibles and facilitates trading, buying, and selling. - **Cosplay Culture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a subscription-based service that offers cosplay enthusiasts access to a wide range of high-quality costumes and props for rent, eliminating the need for them to make or buy their own. - **Niche Expertise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop an AI-powered virtual assistant specifically designed to provide expert knowledge and personalized recommendations for niche hobbies, such as Pokemon collecting. ### Sectors Adopting This - **E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build an e-commerce platform specializing in collectible toys and merchandise, providing a curated selection and unique buying experience for enthusiasts. - **Fashion & Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce a collection of high-end, officially licensed cosplay costumes and accessories, collaborating with popular franchises to cater to the growing cosplay market. - **Virtual Assistants:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a virtual assistant platform specifically tailored to provide expert knowledge and guidance in niche industries, targeting hobbyists and enthusiasts seeking specialized information. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elevated Anime-Inspired Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-pokmon-mosaic-collection.md) - [Oversized Cartoon Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokemon-co.md) - [Elegant Anime Decor Furnishings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-pottery-barn-kids-collection.md) - [Fluffy Plush Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urupocha-chan.md) - [Playful Anime Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-capsule-collection.md) - [Anime-Inspired Huggable Plushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-bandai-1.md) - [Whimsical Anime Decor Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pottery-barn-kids-2.md) - [Anime Creature-Inspired Crystalized Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anime-creatureinspired-crystalized-sculpture.md) - [Cartoon Creature Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-pokmon-sets.md)
