Pokémon is celebrating 25 glorious years and in my search of literally any reason to justify talking more about this franchise, I came across the cutest not-so-little phone charger I've ever seen. With this Pokémon phone charger, a criminally adorable Pichu will juice up that mobile device in the most precious way possible: with their squishable little cheeks!
This creative take on phone charging comes courtesy of artist Nendo Yoshirin. The Pichu phone charging station is made out of clay and comes with a MagSafe charger in its right cheek. It's honestly so cute and I can't stop staring at it, especially since it looks like Pichu is literally cuddling with it. The world sucks in a lot of ways, but cuteness like this? It helps.

So now that I got the good "this could make the world a better place" news out of the way, it's time for the bad news: This adorable Pokémon phone charger isn't actually for sale – it's just a prototype the artist made for enjoyment purposes. That being said, you can follow him on social media to see even more creations like this. This artist has created a ton of similar works, especially concerning the Pokémon franchise. Both his YouTube and his Twitter accounts are filled with progression videos on how he brings these creations to life.

Who knows? Maybe if the demand is high enough, he'd be willing to sell! We can dream!
Want even more Pokémon-related goodness ahead of the 25th anniversary? Black Milk Clothing also recently announced a new clothing line to celebrate the event, which you can learn more about right here ahead of the full launch.
Get ready to catch 'em all (again) because Black Milk Clothing is teaming up with the Pokémon Company once more for a brand new clothing line to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary!
Black Milk Clothing is a brand that is no stranger to collaborating with some of the biggest video games out there, including Animal Crossing, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk 2077, and more. This company has also offered a previous Pokémon line as well, but the Pokémon 2.0 lineup promises to be even better:

Get ready, the collection drops at 7am AEST Tues 2 March.@Pokemon #Pokemon25 #blackmilkclothing pic.twitter.com/vKbbZSZFKU
The new Black Milk x Pokémon clothing line is officially going live on March 2 at 7 a.m. AEST and if you're interested, you're going to want to set your alarm. Black Milk is an extremely esteemed clothing brand and one that I have personally dumped so much money into in the past. This company's clothes are fun and quality, and with a franchise as popular as this? Expect the line to sell out fast.
The new line will feature prints that will pay homage to some of our favorite pocket monsters. We only have the small preview in the tweet to show for the new line, with a full reveal and availability on March 2.
Not in AEST time zone? Here's what you need to know:
Brisbane: 7 a.m. AEST, March 2
Sydney / Melbourne: 8 a.m. AEDT, March 2
London: 10 p.m. DST, March 1
LA: 2 p.m. DST, March 1
NYC: 5 p.m. DST, March 1
