You stumble after him and find yourself in front of a pile of soft-looking terrycloth Pokemon plushes, a great place to take a nap, perhaps?
Kutakuta Plush
My main, and favorite, part of my collection. Collecting these was a longtime coming. I fell in love with this line of plush when I saw them for the first time at a local anime store when I was a kid. I love their unique terry cloth material, pose, and softness!
"Kutakuta" is Japanese meaning "withered" or "exhausted". This theme is apparent with the laying down pose many of the plush have, as well as the sweet slouchy-ness of them all. These beanie plushes were made my TOMY (Takara Tomy), though were also known to be sold in Pokémon Centers. Some, maybe all, were released under the Pokémon USA license and their tags distinguish their origins accordingly.

Sleeping Pikachu
Sleepy 'chu is probably my favorite kutakuta (besides the elusive Ditto); he is even much more adorable in person!

Squirtle (Tomy)
Not to be confused with the Hasbro beanie. Kutakuta's are distinguished by their terry cloth material.

Eevee
One of my favorites! I've always had a soft spot for Eevee. Even more so when in HeartGold, Bill gave me a shiny one! I was so happy to win this sweetie from a group auction on PKMNCollectors ♥.

My first Kutakuta plush, and therefore, one of my favorites! Rotund shape makes it fun to squish.
