Since that time Pokemon Scarlet and Violet launched last year, some fans have been asking for one particular item: Penny’s Eevee Backpack. The backpack that Penny carries throughout the game is made to look like a regular fox Pokémon, and considering that Eevee is one of the franchise’s mascots, I’m surprised it took The Pokémon Company so long to cash in on its popularity. But it’s finally here, and Penny’s Eevee Backpack is up for sale… but only in Japan for now.
The Eevee Backpack is part of the “Paldea’s line of Pokémon Trainers.” consists of products based on characters in the Scarlet and Violet. This includes copies of items such as electric type gym leader Iono’s hair bow and A member of Rick’s Elite Four gloves. These accessories will go on sale in Japan on September 16, and the Eevee Bag will cost ¥6,930 (approximately $47 USD). But at the time of writing, there doesn’t seem to be anything about a western launch. You can try keeping an eye on the Pokémon Center website, but it looks like it’s a Japan-only promotion at the moment. If you don’t want to risk losing it, you can import it through third-party sellers. For the rest of us, we can just bask in its glory.
Personally, I’m disappointed that this line doesn’t highlight Professor Turo, the best character in the game. Just give me some Turo plushies, Pokémon Company. Or just anything that acknowledges existence passionate professor. I offer you money, but the only commodity that exists of it is in trading cards. For shame.
Pokémon Company will have several new characters to add Scarlet and violet‘s product line when the RPG’s two-part DLC is released starting next month Teal mask September 13. the second part, Indigo diskit is scheduled to be released later in 2023.
