Fond memories of discovering the world of Pokemon stirred nostalgia within me. The original starters, Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur, are not just beloved characters, they are a piece of my personal history. Recently, I noticed their plush versions are missing from the Build-A-Bear store, breaking the hearts of countless fans like me. In 2021, the Pokemon franchise turned 25 years and reminded the world of its enduring presence and popularity with over 368 million games sold up until 2021(according to The Pokemon Company). Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur are icons within this franchise, their plush versions should continue to be celebrated and cherished. We are calling on Build-A-Bear to restore these characters into their collection, enriching the store and bringing joy to fans new and old. Please, sign this petition and support our cause. Rebellion starts with a single step: each signature brings us a step closer to bringing our beloved first generation Pokemon starters back to Build-A-Bear.
