Pokemon Is Celebrating Space Week With Cool Merch, And You Just Know Scalpers Will Ruin It

World Space Week kicks off on October 4, and if the idea of exploring the infinite horizon of the cosmos doesn't interest you, then maybe a world-famous Pokemon can inspire you to reach for the stars. As part of the event, the European Space Agency is teaming up with The Pokemon Company to shine a light on space exploration, and it'll feature a very special Pikachu. Back in June, French Astronaut Sophie Adenot traveled to outer space and back with a special Pikachu plush to lay the groundwork for the promotion, capturing several moments on camera. https://youtu.be/mjkDwgStzuo Back on terra firma, there'll be exhibitions at ESA facilities  during ESA Open Days, and at museums during World Space Week.
