GameStop – Best Overall

Up first in the list is GameStop, one of the best places to get not just awesome Pokemon gear of all types, but also exclusive collectibles that you won’t find anywhere else. Furthermore, to celebrate the Pokemon 25th Anniversary GameStop will be launching a host of new gear like accessories, collectibles, card game packs, and more. Pallet Town was just the beginning so many years ago, and with new games, shows, and gear coming out, it’s clear the series is going to continue being a powerhouse long into the future.

ToyWiz – Best for Cards

To pick from one of the largest collections of Pokemon Trading Card Game single cards, booster packers, boxes, decks, and more, ToyWiz is one of the best places to go. They also include rare and unique card packs, like the new Pokemon Celebrations series. There are even options to pre-order card packs that are coming soon or not yet released.

Pokemon Center – Best for Accessories

Backpacks, purses, plushies, clothing, figures, pins, you name it, Pokemon Center has the best selection of fan-favorite accessories. You can grab stylized drinkware and coffee mugs, wall art, and even garden statues. Currently, there are quite a few things sold out, or out of stock, so if there’s something specific you want, you may need to keep checking back!

Etsy – Best Custom Gear

If you want something custom-designed or personalized, Etsy is one of the best places to go, and there a bunch of Pokemon-themed items available too. Some things you’ll find include stickers, name plates, Pokemon-themed terrariums, T-shirts, and more!

Amazon – Best for Toys

Costumes. Check. Toys. Check. Pokemon cards. Check. Random collectibles and figurines. Check. It’s probably no surprise that Amazon has a great selection of Pokemon gear, but their inventory of toys is unmatched. From plushies and proper stuffed animals to a

, there’s a lot to discover.

Celebrating 25 Years of the Pokemon Franchise

Yes, many of these places are excellent choices to find Pokemon gear, but it would be remiss of us not to mention GameStop’s exclusive 25th anniversary Pokemon event again. Throughout October they will be unveiling new and exclusive items, including rare collectibles and Pokemon card packs. If you’re a fan of the series it’s not something you want to miss. If you’re not a fan of Pokemon there are still plenty of collectibles at GameStop you might be interested in, and some of them have some serious attention to detail.

After the success of Prey, there's some new energy in the Predator franchise. What's even better for Predator fans, though, is that the next installment seems designed to give them something they've always wanted. Namely, a movie that follows a predator's POV.

In the first trailer for Predator: Badlands, a predator named Dek is exiled from his clan, only to meet a humanoid-looking life-form played by Elle Fanning. The two of them team up to take on something that "can't be killed," and a long the way, we get some pretty incredible looks at the homeworld of the predators.

Depending on how you look at it, golf is either one of the simplest sports or one of the most complex. The objective is very easy to wrap your head around: This ball has got to wind up in a hole that's maybe a quarter mile away. Everything that happens after that, though, is where things get interesting. Of course, people who love golf love it for a wide array of reasons. Some people love the beautiful courses, while others love the stories behind their favorite players.
There are plenty of people who love golf but don't play it much themselves, and those are the people who this list is really for. Golf's full of amazing stories, and we've even gotten our fair share of great golf movies as a result.

They're the kinds of movies that can inspire and perplex you, and also remind you that at its best, golf is filled with legendary moments. These movies might not be on the shortlist for any awards, but that's only because sports documentaries are so recognized for how well they put stories together.
