Welcome to Project Merchandise! Here, you will find Bulbapedia's largest frontier of potential editing possibilities. With new Pokémon products being released seemingly every single day somewhere around the world, there is ''always'' something to edit and add to our encyclopedia. Without a doubt, we all have a collection of Pokémon merchandise, so why not take a minute to see what information '''you''' can add! Merchandise often branches into other areas of the franchise; whatever your interest, there is certainly room here for your expertise! Best wishes and happy collecting!

Articles should be grouped together by lines and release sets; there are too many pieces of merchandise to give every doll and toy an individual article.


Each book should have its own article, and have a plot summary, character list, and other relevant facts.
