Monosense is set to release the third collection of face masks in the popular Pokémon Cosmetic Series on June 19, 2020.

The Pokemon cosmetic series has been a huge success in Japan since it launched, spanning face masks, hand cream, lip cream, lip gloss, point packs, mirrors, and body gel. The face masks however have proven the most popular, having sold over 600,000 of them. Now, Pokémon Trainers can look forward to the third collection in an all new 2020 version.

Until now, the face masks themselves have had an entire print of a single Pokémon face on them. This time, however, they have a new design with many of that Pokémon on them, along with colours that remind one of that Pokémon.

Skin can get pretty dry when summer rolls around, so these made-in-Japan face masks will keep Trainers’ skin moisturised thanks to the collagen, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter in them.

There are four Pokémon to choose from: Pikachu, Eevee, Psyduck, and Mew. Who will you choose?

Pokémon Shirts was launched back in February 2019 by American custom shirt brand Original Stitch—which offers over one billion design customisations—and the Pokémon franchise. Pokémon Shirts ships worldwide including Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

To date, Pokémon Shirts has introduced 251 original prints with Pokémon from Pokémon Red and Blue and Pokémon Gold and Silver.

Original prints for the original 151 Pokémon from Pokémon Red and Blue are now available to customise with the brand’s all-new polo shirts which were introduced on June 5, 2020. Customisation is diverse, ranging from the embroidery of the Pokémon themselves to the buttons as Poké Balls, Pokémon on the shirt pockets, and more.

Whichever Pokémon from the original you pick when customising a polo shirt can be embroidered on the pocket, on the inside of the cuff, or the outside. You can make a casual and smart yet still nerdy design with these customisations.

For the buttons, there’s 3 different Poké Balls you can choose from: the original Poké Ball, Great Ball, or Ultra Ball. You can have one design for all three buttons, or one of each. The designs don’t stand out too much, making them yet still great for smart casual settings while still supporting you love of Pokémon.

Choose between a standard rib collar for regular wear or a semi-formal collar band for business settings. If you select the standard rib collar, you can pick a different colour for the collar than the one you picked for your polo shirt.

Online hanko store Hankos released a new collection of stamps in its “Pokémon PON” stamp line on May 30 which are based on 107 Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. Hanko are a type of stamp or seal traditionally used in place of signatures in Japan. They are crafted with people’s names and unique symbols.

Pokémon PON are made-to-order hanko stamps which feature a Pokémon of your choice and a name in Japanese writing. The Sinnoh region stamps follow the release of the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn region themed stamps.

The 107 designs include the Sinnoh starter Pokémon Turtwig, Piplup, and Chimchar, as well as the Legendary Pokémon Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, and Mythical Pokémon Shaymin, Darkrai, and Arceus.

When ordering your stamp you pick your favourite Pokémon and give your name to be written on it. This can be your actual name, surname, pen name, social media name and so on. Keep in mind though that there is a character limit: three Kanji, five Hiragana or Katakana, and up to six alphabet letters.

There are three different fonts and several types of hanko. One type produces ink by itself meaning you don’t have to buy an ink pad. The wooden type can also be used with most banking facilities in Japan.

Pokémon PON stamps are packaged in an exclusive Pikachu and Eevee box.
