== [[Pokémon merchandise]] ==

There is a lot of Pokémon merchandise, which used to be especially popular during the airing of the anime on ORT. Toys, {{wp|Playing card|playing cards}} (not Trading Card Game ones), official magazines, {{wp|pogs}}, {{pkmn|clothing|clothes}}, and other merchandise found a quick sale. In 2001, {{wp|PepsiCo}} had released its drinks with {{wp|Stereoscopy|stereoscopic}} screenshots of the anime placed on the bottles' caps — these caps are highly valued as collectibles among Russian fans. ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'' and the ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook 2]]'' by [[Maria Barbo]] were translated and released under the name "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion|Справочник чемпиона покемонов spravochnik chempiona pokemonov}}" and "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion II|Справочник чемпиона покемонов II spravochnik chempiona pokemonov dva}}" respectively.
