For example, right now, a number of Japanese media outlets are in Rio de Janeiro to cover the Olympics.
Each station’s Rio 2016 pin bears the star of its flagship anime, which means Nippon TV’s features Anpanman and TV Asahi’s has Doraemon.
While athletes go for the gold, what fans want to take home is this exclusive piece of Pokémon Olympic memorabilia.
However, given the ravenous hunger certain people have for Pokémon swag, and the equally strong demand for Olympic memorabilia, Pikachu Rio pins have been showing up on eBay.
