Level Up the School Year with Pokémon Backpacks and Stationery

School just got a whole lot cooler because Pokémon is here to power up pencil cases, backpacks and beyond. With the new school year around the corner, kids and teens across South Africa can now gear up with a range of official Pokémon stationery, drawstring bags, and backpacks that bring a whole new energy to classroom essentials.

Whether you’re a die-hard Pikachu fan or can’t choose between Charizard, Bulbasaur or Squirtle, there’s something to match every trainer’s style. Expect bright colours, bold designs and high-quality finishes, with characters from across the Pokémon universe adding excitement to everything from notebooks and files to carry bags and pencil cases.

For younger fans starting Grade 1, these are more than just school supplies, they’re confidence boosters. Heading into a new classroom with a Pikachu on your backpack is like having a familiar friend right there with you. For tweens and teens, it’s about showing off gear that’s functional and fashionable.

The drawstring bags are ideal for extra-mural activities - lightweight, roomy and tough enough for sports kit, art supplies, or even a quick weekend trip. And the backpacks are built for everyday use, with sturdy zips, padded straps, and enough compartments to keep school days organised and adventure-ready.

“Pokémon is timeless,” says Philip Galliford, spokesperson for Solarpop. “What makes this range so special is that it taps into something deeply nostalgic for older fans while still sparking wonder and joy in younger ones.”

The stationery range includes themed pens, pencils, rulers, erasers, and notebooks, perfect for completing the full Pokémon look. With quality and design front and centre, it’s a collection that’s sure to be high on every school list.

Whether your child is just starting their school journey or heading into another year of growth, Pokémon makes the everyday magical. Stock is available now at leading toy and lifestyle stores.
