Pokémon Center “I Won’t Listen to You!” Gachapon – A Hilarious Tribute to Stubborn Pokémon!
For every Pokémon trainer who’s struggled with a high-level Pokémon refusing to follow orders, Pokémon Center Japan has captured this moment in an adorably frustrating gachapon series—“I Won’t Listen to You!”.
This five-figure capsule collection, launched in December 2024, is available exclusively at Pokémon Centers in Japan and costs 500 yen per spin (approximately $3.50).
Inspired by Classic Game Mechanics
In the Pokémon games, Pokémon won’t obey commands if their level is too high and the trainer lacks enough Gym Badges. This leads to hilarious (and frustrating) moments where they turn away, close their eyes, or completely ignore the battle!
The “I Won’t Listen to You!” gachapon series brings this classic mechanic to life, featuring five rebellious Pokémon in various disobedient poses. Each figure also comes with a game-style text box base, just like in the games!
Gachapon Lineup – Meet the Stubborn Pokémon!
🔥 Charizard (2.8 x 5.5 x 4.0 cm, 15g) – Flops onto its back, ignoring its trainer.
🌀 Mewtwo (5.5 x 3.8 x 3.8 cm, 11g) – Crosses its arms with a smug, uninterested expression.
🌙 Umbreon (Moonlight Form) (4.1 x 2.8 x 2.7 cm, 5g) – Turns its head away in pure defiance.
🪨 Larvitar (3.8 x 2.1 x 2.7 cm, 6g) – Looks utterly unbothered, standing still in protest.
⭐ Starmie (4.4 cm wide) – Lies completely motionless, refusing to battle.
