Pokmon TCGs Cutest Accessory Has One Glaring Problem

The Pokémon Center has been on a roll lately with its merchandise releases, with their newest accessory being no exception. From life-sized Pokémon plushes or trinkets of every character, the Pokémon team seemingly has its sights on cornering the market for all things cute. Fans of the card game haven't been forgotten either, with plenty of interesting sets and an array of unique accessories on the way.

While getting creative with TCG accessories can be challenging, there's always room for improvement. The Pokémon card game has already been innovating the market with its Halloween treat packs and art competitions, letting fans see even more unique art styles on playable cards. Recently, Pokémon's marketing team has found the perfect way to bring the cuteness of its game characters into a card game player's hands, but there's a catch.

Pikachu Plush Deck Box To Store Equally Cute Cards

An Adorable Accessory That's Not Without Flaw

Originally released last year in Japan, the Pokémon Plush Deck Box is finally available worldwide at a much more affordable price. The compact and friendly deck box will hold up to 90 sleeved and 180 unsleeved cards, being the perfect size for any card game needs, Pokémon or otherwise. While this versatile and adorably fluffy Pikachu container is great for storing and displaying cards, it might not be the best for consistent play.

Some fans have pointed out that while this box is the cutest yet and looks great on a shelf, it will likely get dirty quite quickly from standard use. Even for players taking care of their furry friends, sweat and grease buildup from long play sessions can cause problems down the line, on top of getting knocked around and scuffed in a backpack. While many players have expressed their concerns over the longevity of a damage-prone accessory like this, even more are hoping this style of deck box is more than a one-off trend.

Even More Pokémon Card Accessories To Match With

Art Sleeves Pair Great With A Similarly Themed TCG Deck Box

There are countless Pokémon that could easily be made into a cute deck box companion for players of all ages. Some fans have already pointed out that Pokémon like Eevee or Mimikyu could be made into similar boxes without needing much alteration to the design. But it's not just the popular ones that have their chance, as the Pokémon team has been better at giving love to the less popular creatures in the franchise as of late, with their recent merchandise line even having something for all 151 Gen 1 Pokémon.

Whether players plan to keep their fuzzy deck boxes in pristine condition or use them for regular gaming, there are plenty of cool new Pokémon cards on the way to fill them with.

But with nicer cards comes the need for quality sleeves, and thankfully, alongside the Pikachu Plush Deck Box comes an array of adorable new art sleeves available at the Pokémon Center store as well. While it's harder to protect a box meant to safeguard cards in the first place, matching the Pikachu Plush Box with equally cute sleeves will make a delightfully appealing combo for both playing or display purposes.
