Summary Pokemonwill put its name to just about anything, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. Official Pokemon merch is almost always pretty high quality. What I mean is The Pokemon Company has paired up with some brands you really wouldn’t expect it to collaborate with.

It’s not the only series to have its own line of Razer products, but this week that collection grew a few items bigger thanks to Gengar....
