Pokemon was my gateway drug to nerdom. It got me into gaming, collecting toys, forums, and introduced me to a whole community of fellow nerds. So when we walked by the Pokemon booth at Toy Fair, I practically squealed with joy. I mean, my love of Pokemon extends so far that I bought White in Japanese just so I could play it a few months early!

Thankfully they had quite a few awesome toys on display, including some painfully adorable new plushes, model kits, ABS figures, cards, backpacks, and DS cases. Everything a Pokenerd needs! Many of them featured the new batch of Pokemon, which seem to be getting some mixed views in the community. I think they are pretty darn cute, and the new legendaries fit in well with the rest of them. But what about you, Tomopeeps? Would you like to own any of this Pokemerch?
