These new bean bag chairs push the limits of Pokémon roundness

Pokémon Center has become a leading purveyor of all things round, squishy, and big. First we got the comically large life-sized Spheal. Now the online seller of Pokémon merchandise has released another banger: Pokémon bean bag chairs. As of Wednesday, fans can pre-order from the Pokémon x Yogibo line. Interested buyers have the options to purchase round, plump bean bag versions of Lechonk, Gengar, and Jigglypuff.

Yogibo has an established reputation for making comfortable (and fancy) bean bags. Its website touts bean bag innovations like a “patented combination of the inner and outer covers” that allows the bags to mold to your body. These special sacks a heavy price tag, though: All three versions of the bean bag — Lechonk, Gengar, and Jigglypuff — retail for $299.99. So you’ll have to pony up if you want a Lechonk that will cradle your body.

Each bean bag measures 30 x 30 x 30 inches and weighs about 12 pounds. That’s enough to hold a butt, but you it might not make for a full-body lounge for a grown adult. Still, the overall look of these chairs got me giggling. For starters, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a round version of Gengar. Sure, he’s always had a plump physique for a ghost-type, but now he’s going full-on basketball. I also just love the little nub feet at the bottom. You can view front and side-angle images of it below, just to get an idea of how round this bad boy is.

The Jigglypuff is a great color, and would make an incredible addition to any person who wants more pink decor in their life. However, I still can’t get over the completely empty look in its eyes. It’s just a bit deflated. It seems like Jigglypuff is internally screaming for help in its new life as a seat for humans.

Personally, I think the winner of the three is Lechonk. This porker and its eye-to-eye smile appears ready and happy to be your seating of choice. The best part is, it somehow looks cute even when it’s being squished.
