The 30 Best Pokemon Crochet Plush & Patterns

Adriana Maronese  - May 15, 2022

When I was about 11 years old, me and my cousins turned on the TV one day and found out that a new show called “Pokemon” was on. We instantly loved it! What was not to like? The concept was simple: a few kids traveling around, unsupervised, training monsters to fight one another. I mean, that was every kid’s dream at the time!

Pokemon Red was one of the first video games I became obsessed with. I was determined to become the best pokemon trainer of all! I even remember I asked my parents to buy me an external lamp for my Gameboy Color to be able to play at night. Twenty years later, I still play Pokemon on a couple of different consoles and love it!
