The 25 year anniversary of Pokemon is being celebrated in a number of ways -- one of which ways is the Pokemon tableware collection and kitchen items. The adorable characters are seen detailing the lifestyle items with the upcoming launch.
The capsule is made up of 15 pieces in total and sees kitchen accessories as well as stoneware, coffee muds, bowls, a teapot, a pan with Pikachu on it, dual wall glass cups, a metal ladle, tongs, coaster, placemats, a double sided cutting board, a metal turner, and plates in different sizes. The color palette is rooted in gray and pink predominantly with Pikachu adorning the items alongside some florals as a subtle nod to the Spring season.
