Thirty years after the debut of Pokémon Red and Green, those chunky, black-and-white pixelated Pikachu plushies and keychains are finally heading back into production.

The Pokémon Company has announced a 'made-to-order' run for their 30th-anniversary 'Beginning Pikachu' collection. This includes both the 'Beginning Pikachu Plush' and the 'Beginning Pikachu Mascot' keychain. If you are itching to get your hands on one, keep an eye on the official Pokémon Center online shop, as details regarding the order windows will be dropped there soon.

The 'Beginning Pikachu' is a delightful tribute to the plump, monochrome sprite from the original Red and Green games, complete with that nostalgic, slightly greenish hue caused by the limitations of early displays. Its authentic, chubby charm made it an instant hit with fans. Naturally, the scalpers saw their opportunity, popping up on platforms like Japan's 'Mercari' and listing these toys for nearly ten times their retail value.

Well, the news of this restock has certainly taken the wind out of their sails, and the community is absolutely buzzing with satisfaction. Savvy fans are already flooding forums with warnings, urging everyone to ignore those overpriced listings now that a second chance is on the cards.

In the meantime, The Pokémon Company continues to roll out various celebrations to mark the franchise's 30th anniversary.
