>>53396803The only upside to this is PM19 got quite a bit of really nice magazine art and posters; I feel bad though for any fan that tried to collect 'em all because I imagine that could get really expensive over time.
I think that trend will continue for the reasons you stated. Unless the two new MCs become real popular, I don't think there will be much merch centered around them. I don't recall Ash even getting much merch during PM19. There was some around when the M8 was airing, but that was to be expected.
