A technical issue kept people from getting a Pokemon 25th anniversary-related item from the Pokemon Center. On January 19, 2021, Bear Walker Pikachu 25th Celebration Skateboard pre-orders were supposed to open. However, the retailer will reopen orders for the $249.99 maple wood board on January 21, 2021.
This is the second Bear Walker Pikachu skateboard, though is design features a decidedly more relaxed-looking character than the original. It is a 29” long maple wood board that is immediately ready to be used or displayed. It features a low-key Pikachu on the front with a Poke Ball below it, with additional Poke Balls appearing in the background in the milled grip areas. The underside of the board has the Bear Walker and Pokemon Center logos, as well as an outline of Pikachu’s face.
Here’s a better look at the board.
The Pokemon Center and Bear Walker collaboration has been going on for quite some time. The second series of skateboards added options that featured Mew, Rayquaza, Togepi, Toxtricity, and Umbreon. The first lineup included the original Pikachu board, as well as Charizard, Gengar, Gyarados, and Mewtwo.
The Pokemon Center’s Bear Walker Pikachu 25th Celebration Skateboard will be available to pre-order again on January 21, 2021 at 1pm PT/4pm ET.
