Pokemon’s Absurd New Porygon Plush Costs as Much as a PS5

Pokemon's Absurd New Porygon Plush Costs as Much as a PS5

As a seasoned gamer with decades of Pokémon fandom under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of nostalgia and sticker shock when confronted with the Porygon Celadon Game Corner Poke Plush. On one hand, the sheer size and intricate detailing of this plush are a testament to the dedication of the craftsmen at Pokémon Center. On the other, it’s hard not to chuckle at the thought of spending as much on a giant Porygon as I would on a brand new PlayStation 5 console.


The official Pokemon Center website showcases unique merchandise not available elsewhere, catering to fans across various age groups. This includes trading cards, binders, and high-end items such as premium statues. Some of these top-tier goods come with a hefty price tag. For instance, consider the latest Porygon Celadon Game Corner Poke Plush, which stands an impressive 31.5 inches tall. The corresponding cost is equally noteworthy: $499. In other words, this Pokemon plush will set you back as much as a standard PlayStation 5 console (not the PS5 Digital Edition). If you’re keen on owning an oversized plush of a Pokemon character that’s rarely featured in the anime, you can preorder it directly from here.

As a die-hard Pokémon fan, I must admit that the sheer size and cost of this new plushie might leave you taken aback. But let me clarify, this isn’t an unusual move on Pokémon Center’s part; they’ve been releasing such oversized and pricey plushies quite frequently. Remember the giant Slowpoke plush back in April, selling for a whopping $450? Despite being a bit goofy-looking, Slowpoke does have its fanbase among Pokémon enthusiasts.

Would you rather have a gigantic plush of Porygon or a PlayStation 5? At the end of the day, the choice is yours to make, and different people have different priorities. However, potential Porygon purchasers should be positive before making a decision; this is a final sale item, so there are no returns offered. That does seem pretty accurate to how Porygon is distributed at the Celadon Game Corner in Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow, where it also cost an arm and a leg with no returns. At the very least, this all seems game accurate!
