Pokémon and Krispy Kreme are at it again, because what’s a better way to celebrate a 30th anniversary than by stuffing your face with doughnuts? The popular doughnut chain has announced a new collaboration with the beloved franchise, bringing six specially themed (and flavored) doughnuts to shops for a limited time. Because, you know, what’s a better way to catch ’em all than with a stomachache from eating too many sweet treats? The collaboration begins on August 18 and runs for a “limited time,” though Krispy Kreme doesn’t list an end date, because who needs deadlines when you have sugar cravings?
The Pokémon Invasion Continues
This collaboration is just the latest in a long line of Pokémon partnerships, because why not? We’ve already got LEGO Pokémon, Build-a-Bears, kitchen aprons, and probably a Pokémon-themed toaster somewhere out there. At this point, you can theme your entire life around the creatures, and Krispy Kreme is just happy to help you do so, one doughnut at a time. The six exclusive Pokémon doughnuts include Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Jigglypuff, and a Poké Ball, each with its own unique flavor and design, because who doesn’t love a good themed snack?
Doughnut Details
If you’re curious about the flavors, Krispy Kreme has got you covered. The Pikachu doughnut is filled with lemon-flavored Kreme, dipped in vanilla icing, and topped with an electrifying drizzle and yellow nonpareils. The Charmander doughnut is filled with chocolate toasted marshmallow-flavored filling, dipped in orange colored caramel icing, and topped with an iconic Charmander piece. And so on, because who needs a social life when you can just eat doughnuts and play Pokémon? You can buy the doughnuts individually, but if you opt for the specialty dozen, you’ll also receive a limited edition Pokémon box, which you’ll probably just end up using to store your other Pokémon merchandise.
Pokémon’s Big Year
It’s been a big year for the Pokémon franchise, with Pokémon Pokopia becoming one of the best-selling games on Switch 2, selling over 5 million copies. The next major entry in the franchise, Pokémon Wind and Waves, was also revealed earlier this year, with more info coming soon. Because what’s a better way to celebrate a successful game than by announcing another one and making fans wait even longer? Krispy Kreme’s collaboration is just the icing on the cake, or rather, the sprinkles on the doughnut.
In conclusion, if you’re a Pokémon fan with a sweet tooth, you’re in luck. Krispy Kreme’s limited-time collaboration is the perfect excuse to indulge in some delicious doughnuts and pretend you’re a kid again, catching Pokémon and eating sugary snacks all day long. Just don’t forget to brush your teeth afterwards, or you might end up with a cavity that’s bigger than a Pokémon’s ego.
