Pokemon Moleskine notebooks
Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.
If you love stationary even a teenie tiny bit then you'll know how amazing Moleskines are. Well, they're now even more fantastic, because Moleskine has launched a limited edition Pokemon range featuring some of your old favourites, like Pikachu and Jigglypuff. As you'd expect from a Moleskine, the quality is incredible, with the attention to detail in each one making it near impossible to resist treating yourself to the entire range. The range is entirely hardback, with the large notepads featuring rather sophisticated Charmander and Pikachu covers, with a special bundle version featuring a Poke Ball design and matching Moleskine pen. Then there are two smaller versions featuring adorable Jigglypuff and Snorlax designs, but all of them come with the cutest little Poke Ball bookmarks - in normal, Great, Ultra and Master varieties of course - to make sure you're never flicking through your notes for longer than you need to. These are the ultimate treat for grown-up Poke fans.

If you're going to let anyone look after your money, I can't think of anyone better than Pikachu. After all, what would an electric mouse do with all that pocket change?
