Pokemon Day is officially upon us, and with new Game Boy style gadgets, extra Pokemon classics hitting the Switch 2, and Gen 10 getting its official Wind and Waves reveal, everyone's feeling the love for these critters.
It's certainly a day to remember, with a whole avalanche of new announcements hitting on the 30th Anniversary.
All week, the GamesRadar+ team has been squirrelling away building the ultimate Pokemon setup of our dreams. Whether you're kicking back with some original games or exploring the new releases, there's one thing to be certain of - we won't be left wanting for good merch.
I'm talking building sets, figures, plush, and backpacks - even Razer, PowerA, SecretLab, and Hori all have officially licensed Pokemon gadgets to see you through the 30th Anniversary in style. I've rounded up the GamesRadar+ team's favorite accessories right here, and you can read all the latest coverage further down the page.
