Despite Pokemon’s global popularity, the franchise is no stranger to region-specific collaborations. The colorful cookware brand Le Creuset will launch a set of Pokemon-themed items for reservation on July 5. Unfortunately, for the time being, they will only grace Japanese kitchens or the kitchens of those willing to go through the process of importing.
Le Creuset is well-known for its enameled cast iron cookware that comes in practically every color imaginable. Occasionally, the items will be decked out with cute designs, or made into special shapes, like a pumpkin-shaped cocotte, complete with a peduncle-shaped lid knob. The brand’s Japanese branch has also dabbled in collaborations before, including with Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh.
