Where to buy The Times Pokemon Special Edition
Combining 96 pages, The Time Pokemon Special Edition features Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in a highly collectible celebration of the franchise.
If you’re wondering where you can pick up these Pokemon special edition covers of Time Magazine, you don’t need to look any further than trusty Amazon for $14.99. The edition will explore the Pokemon influence, especially Pikachu’s, and uncover the history of its worldwide phenomenon. The issue also explores the craze surroundingPokémon GOas well as giving eager new players tips and tricks on how to get the most out of the game and how it became such a lucrative market.
With Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle all seen individually on single copies of the magazine, it seems like a bit of a pick ‘n’ mix when choosing what edition you buy from Amazon, so if you are wanting Pikachu, for example, you might end up with Charmander instead which is a little of a strange system but if you’re a Pokemon fan, you might not care which one you get as they are all pretty awesome looking.
Regardless, the 96 pages of Pokemon history will be an interesting endeavor and could even teach the most hard-core Pokemon lovers something new about the franchise, and who knows how much these special editions of The Times variants could fetch years down the line - that $14.99 could be well worth the price even just from an investment viewpoint.
