Stunky was yet another random, sudden love. Never having played Diamond and Pearl until 2012, I didn't get to experience it and find new Pokemon loves until years after the fact. Stunky has a chubby face and stubby limbs (are you seeing a pattern with me yet?) and who doesn't love those Garfield eyes? The UFO plush completely sealed the deal.

Banpresto UFO plush can only be found in crane game machines in Japan for a limited time.
I'm so thrilled to own one of these. I fell head over heels for poor Stunky's only plush and had to have one. Actually, I could barely sleep that night after I found out about it because I wanted it so desperately. (So I stayed up late stalking eBay instead.) He's a lot fatter than I expected, which just adds to the super cute factor. I love his chubby face! I made a pair of glasses for mine and named him Shakespeare. He lives on my bookshelf, where he can devote all his time to reading.

Kids are a series of hollow finger puppet figures made of soft vinyl and sold in Japan with candy and a sticker.
One of three Stunky Kids (one being a clear variant), and a Skuntank Kid. I'm not all that fond of Skuntank so I won't get his merch myself, but this one was a gift and he looks great with Stunky. :D
2012 Pokedex Charm

Center
Size: 1.5in / 4cm
Year: 2011-2012
This charm is from the promotion the Pokemon Center held from December 2011 to February 2012, which featured a brand new charm released for each of the 646 Pokemon. The Tympole set was released in December with the rest of the Sinnoh Pokemon.
Unlike my other charms, I got this after release, in July 2012. I was trying to resist getting too many charms in the excitement, but ended up caving in later and wanting Stunky and Gible. :) Hey, at least they're cheaper after the fact. XD
Sticker Sheet
Size: 5in / 13cm
A probably bootleg sticker sheet, prominently featuring Pikachu but also with some other cuties — liiike Stunky! It was cute, I couldn't resist.
