I own enough merch that I'm not sure what counts as strange anymore. I consider the Pokemon Center NY Flaaffy sign to be my strangest one, because I'm just, like, how did anyone get this sign to sell it to begin with? Why is it as big as a bed? The second strangest would be a Psyduck bath mat and Pokemon bath set. My bathroom is Pokemon themed and I love it. When I wash Psyduck, I put the Pokeball bath mat out and vice versa. It's awesome.
I love how Lockstin slowly gets more unhinged as the video goes on. Also pretty sure if you live off only the official pokemon food you'll die from diabetes or malnutrition but I'd watch the hell out of someone trying to survive 7 day pokemon food only challenge.
7 days would be no problem. It should be 30 days, like that guy who lived off Big Macs. Also, I thought there were Pokémon-themed restaurants in Japan?
There are actual pokemon restaurants with healthy and normal Pokemon theme food. I don't know why he did not take about the food served in the Pokemon cafes.
@@sarthakarora3212 He didn't talk about it because it's just normal food. He mentioned that Pokemon Cafes existed, but brushed them off due to making food at home with Pokemon merch being more interesting.
Y'know when I heard that the Pokémon company gets a majority of their profits from merchandise, it always boggled my mind,and then I watched this video.
Honestly, I'd belive that just from toys and plushies alone. Like, everyone has or has had a Pokemon plushie at one point. And most Pokemon fans have like... 12.
Okay as a plant lover I would 100% get the squirtle watering can too bad it’s not a wailmer from the gen 3 games. It’s insane how much Pokémon merch there is
You forgot the Pokemon Cookbook, anything you eat made using those recipes would count as living of Pokemon merchandise (there are recipes for things as simple as rice to things like pizza).
I agree, especially in terms of food-related packaging. I’m surprised they haven’t done any Pokémon-themed egg cartons yet or Pokémon-themed hot sauces (Fire-type or Tamato berry on the cover?) Also I’m pretty sure they’ve had some celery bags or clementine bags in the past. Building off what Lockstin said, if there’s a kind of product, Pokémon should be able to put its name on it.
the metapod sleeping bag is a genius product, i feel like... then again, I've grown accustomed to sleeping on a floor, so what do I know about such things... as for the food situation... not sure what is more disturbing... that the only vegetable in the diet seems to be ketchup, or that the ketchup is over 20 years old... ketchup might be shelf stable, but it still probably wouldn't last even one decade, never mind two... is there any official pokemon food-poisoning treatment? 13:04 ok, so you made waffles... but what about the alolan raichu's PANCAKES. (sorry, i was reminded of that meme of yours) 14:07 they made a pokemon charging adapter, and DIDN'T model it after elekid?! WHY!? The guy's horns are LITERALLY a PLUG!
Idk if many of us picked up on this joke but when he said "books for nat dex'ers" when referring to the children counting books was comedy gold (around the time of the joke 15:00).
There is more than one. I own the one targeted to kids, so everything uses store bought stuff and is made in microwaves, making it most useful for ideas than actual recipes. Fortunately, I do know how to cook. I first found out about candied beans from this cook book. Why does the USA not have candied beans?! We add sugar to everything else.
Honestly, I feel like his wife and or buddies made passive-aggressive (but in good faith) jokes of how Lockstin has SO MUCH pokemon merch and that's what inspired this video.
I have the Pokémon colors book for my two year old and we both love it. The art style is vivid and eye catching, and he loves lifting the flaps. Really good kids books have a certain way of drawing the eye and I can’t recommend this enough for any poke fan parent. They could have just made a really simple, shameless pikachu cash-in throw away but they made a quality children’s book
I remember the "Can you live off of" videos Comic Drake and Red Bard did. Now I must see if one can live off of Disney ir Star Wars merch. Edit: First PANCAKES! Now... Waffles.
If people can theoretically live off Pokemon march, they can certainly live off Disney and Star Wars merch. Could possibly do a challenge run for the Star Wars merch and only do stuff pre-Disney acquisition! Though, I'm also not as familiar with the pre-Disney SW merch situation beyond figures and related merch so. ^^;
“IM MAKIN WAFFLES!"Gnoggin exclaimed as he pulled out his blood dripping shaymin knife and murdered my family and gouged there flesh into his pokeball waffle maker in hopes that he could finnaly make a semi-decent pokewaffle. “IT'S TECHNICALLY MERCH RIGHT!?" “HE HE HE HE HAHHAHAHAHHA HOOOOOOOII!"
The only “useful” Pokémon merch I have besides some plushes is the popcorn maker. I use air quotes because it really doesn’t work that well. If only I had a Rotom to possess it….
I own enough merch to know the answer is yes, but you probably wouldn't thrive, unless recipes count as merch, since curry would contain all the vitamins and minerals. There's a reason the military used curry to prevent beriberi. Anyway, I never knew all of those lil appliances existed! I want them!
This video would make for the most dangerous drinking game. XDDD Seriously, though, it's amazing just how much Pokémon has its hands in our daily lives to have ALL THESE PRODUCTS!!!
the ramen is actually really good. The soy sauce flavor is so different to the usual western one compared to the Japan ones. It's so flavourful and slightly salty
It's insane... how much different types of pokemon merch use imagery of the standard pokeball and pikachu. Almost 1000 pokemon and that yellow rat is still on everything.
I didn’t know what I was expecting when I clicked on this video, but this was somehow surprising. Edit: Spoiler Just finished watching the video, was not expecting the family abandonment
I doubt you'll see this, but it'd be hilarious to see a sequel to this with only Charmander line themed merch so we can get a glimpse into the daily life of Masuda, but also to see just how overdone the stupid lizard truly is
Ah cool, Red Bard did another one of these can you live off merch videos! Aw man, it's so cool to see her in video's again. ... wait she isn't here? Just randomly similar? Ah ok. Still good stuff.
Pokemon caters to first gen lovers and it also brings back people that grew out of it. I wish they'd focus on loyal fans instead of trying to get more customers.
If I’m being honest, a diet of purely Pokémon merch would either be really unhealthy or a dude running around going all hunter-gatherer with a bunch of Pokémon merch.
I want to imagine every one of these videos types exist in the same universe and you're just assigned a specific thing to live off of at birth. "Oh boy I got Marvel!" "Well I got Pokemon!" "What did you get Bill?" [Bill drinks from his penis shaped mug] "Well... you know.."
At the start of the video I suspected that food would be an issue, however if they improved the quality of the products and you considered Food/Drink as separate as well as actual running water/plumbing & electricity/Entertainment Systems then seems possible.

Just saying you didn't have to eat all these junk food options
I own enough merch that I'm not sure what counts as strange anymore.

The Pokemon Company really needs to tap into the home appliance market with Rotom washing machines, dryers, etc.
I would unironically use a rotom fridge.
Also I actually have that Pokeball popcorn maker
we need a snorlax beanbag chair
Would definitely buy a rotom refrigerator
And an actual Rotom to posses the items
@@King_Kitsune it would make a perfect novelty mini fridge. I honestly don't see how that could not already be a thing.
Those Pikachu's "blue balls" will haunt me for life. Thank you for the nightmares, Lockstin!
What about the pikachu charging plug
I was dying laughing when that part came up
oh god.... dont remind me.....
I love how Lockstin slowly gets more unhinged as the video goes on. Also pretty sure if you live off only the official pokemon food you'll die from diabetes or malnutrition but I'd watch the hell out of someone trying to survive 7 day pokemon food only challenge.
7 days would be no problem.
It should be 30 days, like that guy who lived off Big Macs.

That would be entertaining
I can just imagine him trying to hunt with a Pokémon foam sword or something.
Y'know when I heard that the Pokémon company gets a majority of their profits from merchandise, it always boggled my mind,and then I watched this video.

Lockstin's living the dream of each and every single Pokefan had when we were kids! 💖😍💖
The perfect amount of likes. It would be a shame if someone were to ruin it
When we were kids? I still want that!
Capitalism
I believe you mean, currently none of this “when we were kids” business 😉
He's living in the world of Pokemon?
Okay as a plant lover I would 100% get the squirtle watering can too bad it’s not a wailmer from the gen 3 games. It’s insane how much Pokémon merch there is
We NEED a bulbasaur flowerpot
Gimme Wailmer Pail.
there was a missed opportunity for them to make wailmer pail and sprayduck merch
God I'd kill for the Sprinklotad
You can actually buy a Wailmer Pail on Etsy, it just costs $80.
3:23 Pikachu with blue balls is probably one of the most cursed things I’ve seen
You fool, what have you done. You have summoned the bots. Run, run while you can. Before it’s too late
You forgot the Pokemon Cookbook, anything you eat made using those recipes would count as living of Pokemon merchandise (there are recipes for things as simple as rice to things like pizza).
Yes
I'm pretty sure lockstin decided that non merchandise ingredients can't be used considering what happened with the waffle maker.
@@nickcarballo6039 Yes
I remember when his wife told him to eat the expired Pokémon cereal for a video to justify it’s purchase. I wonder if a similar thing happened here…
Did he record that?
@@J-manli not sure which one but he had made a video of eating 18 years old cereal before
My takeaway from this is that official Pokémon merch hasn't gone far enough.
I agree, especially in terms of food-related packaging. I’m surprised they haven’t done any Pokémon-themed egg cartons yet or Pokémon-themed hot sauces (Fire-type or Tamato berry on the cover?) Also I’m pretty sure they’ve had some celery bags or clementine bags in the past. Building off what Lockstin said, if there’s a kind of product, Pokémon should be able to put its name on it.
GIVE ME ROTOM APPLIANCES
Lockstin must be at the state of insanity with the amount of times he must have said Pokémon in this episode.
He has lost his sanity a while ago
This feels like a mockery of the over commercialization of pokemon
I love it
What gave you that idea? :p
This sounds like an excuse to buy more merch and I’m here for it
It’s tax deductible if it’s used in a video
I feel like this is what insanity looks like, and I'm all game for it. Sign me up for a multi-hundred dollar mareep plushy, I'm ready for my meds!
This video is like one giant Pokémon themes rant, absolutely hilarious!
Lol
Begone bots
oh no this channel getting invade by plague of useless bots
I love how absolutely unhinged lockstin sounds as he makes the waffles
Okay, this is actually hilarious. Great job on the segues from one thing to another!
This is the greatest free advertisement for the Pokemon Company's official website lmao. Great vid!
This is the greatest commercial for addiction help hotlines lol
If I saw a person living only on Pokémon merchandise, I wouldn’t ask why they do it
I’ll ask how did they even found and pay for all of these stuff
Is this a real-life challenge run? How many Pikachus will you have to eat to survive?
eat the trainers
the metapod sleeping bag is a genius product, i feel like... then again, I've grown accustomed to sleeping on a floor, so what do I know about such things...
as for the food situation... not sure what is more disturbing... that the only vegetable in the diet seems to be ketchup, or that the ketchup is over 20 years old... ketchup might be shelf stable, but it still probably wouldn't last even one decade, never mind two...
is there any official pokemon food-poisoning treatment?
13:04 ok, so you made waffles... but what about the alolan raichu's PANCAKES. (sorry, i was reminded of that meme of yours)
14:07 they made a pokemon charging adapter, and DIDN'T model it after elekid?! WHY!? The guy's horns are LITERALLY a PLUG!
This is abjectly horrifying. I never once thought about just how powerful Captialism is for Pokemon.
better than communism
Eh if it makes people happy

Idk if many of us picked up on this joke but when he said "books for nat dex'ers" when referring to the children counting books was comedy gold (around the time of the joke 15:00).
I heard the joke, but didn't get *why* it was a joke until now.
...how quickly the community just accepted that this is the new norm.
Wait now I'm not 100% sure I got the joke
-Paintspot Infez
Wasabi!
these types of videos are always so interesting to me, if I were to make one I would either do it on sailor moon or Doraemon personally
I'd love if Lockstin's accountant had a RUclips channel to breakdown his monthly Pokémon related spending.
I misread that as "to detail the financial impact of his pokemon-related breakdowns" and honestly, same energy.
Accostin? Locktant? Gnancial? What would we call them?
You're love for the Pokemon franchise is so awesome lock!! I don't know why I find it cool
@Kisra Asity no
@nєgínα💌 no
Pokemon also has a cook book, but i guess cooking with real food isn't pokemon enough.
Your also putting more effort in how it looks than its taste.
There is more than one. I own the one targeted to kids, so everything uses store bought stuff and is made in microwaves, making it most useful for ideas than actual recipes. Fortunately, I do know how to cook. I first found out about candied beans from this cook book. Why does the USA not have candied beans?! We add sugar to everything else.
Mom: "You can't spend your whole life being surrounded by Pokemon!"
This kid: "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!"
And I thought I went overboard when I made an altar to Dialga and Palkia back when they were new
That’s actually adorable, though!
When it comes to the Halloween merch I'll quote Alice Cooper. "Keep Halloween Alive, 365."
An outfit of just pokemon Merch looks like this Lockstin...
**points to the Levis anniversary collection from last year**
This entire video felt like an intro to a point that was never made
And I’m down for it
Honestly, I feel like his wife and or buddies made passive-aggressive (but in good faith) jokes of how Lockstin has SO MUCH pokemon merch and that's what inspired this video.
I have the Pokémon colors book for my two year old and we both love it. The art style is vivid and eye catching, and he loves lifting the flaps. Really good kids books have a certain way of drawing the eye and I can’t recommend this enough for any poke fan parent.

Love these videos where you go unhinged and balistic, blessings from México
I was eagerly waiting for the “pancakes” meme clip to make a comeback in the waffle section, but it never did 😭
14:59 You'd expect the Pokémon murder to come from any of the various Pokémon knives.
How to Survive on Pokemon Merch:
Step 1: Live in Japan
I've waited for someone to do something like this. And i'm glad it's you!
I remember the "Can you live off of" videos Comic Drake and Red Bard did. Now I must see if one can live off of Disney ir Star Wars merch.
Edit: First PANCAKES! Now... Waffles.

Could possibly do a challenge run for the Star Wars merch and only do stuff pre-Disney acquisition! Though, I'm also not as familiar with the pre-Disney SW merch situation beyond figures and related merch so. ^^;
I was gonna say "damn he's just gonna list pokemon merch I thought he was gonna buy a bunch and then try it but I guess not"
And then he did
“IM MAKIN WAFFLES!"Gnoggin exclaimed as he pulled out his blood dripping shaymin knife and murdered my family and gouged there flesh into his pokeball waffle maker in hopes that he could finnaly make a semi-decent pokewaffle. “IT'S TECHNICALLY MERCH RIGHT!?" “HE HE HE HE HAHHAHAHAHHA HOOOOOOOII!"
The only “useful” Pokémon merch I have besides some plushes is the popcorn maker. I use air quotes because it really doesn’t work that well. If only I had a Rotom to possess it….
I have the popcorn maker myself and it works pretty well for me.
Use the Death Star popcorn maker instead. There are absolutely no fatal flaws built in
@@grunkleg.29691 Nope. None whatsoever, I’m sure! 😂
I absolutely want to try this for myself. My wallet doesn't
@nєgínα💌 no one Cares
There has to be a Pokémon cookbook and if you make food from that I think it qualifies for the food category.
Between Pokemon and Evangelion merch, you could easily live off of anime merch, and I think that's interesting
As someone that's apartment is PKMN themed and goes out with PKMN merch like the watch, umbrella, glasses case, shoes, crocs, etc. I love this video.
Kind of disappointed that the fridge during your cooking segment didn’t have Pokemon magnets on it. Kind of broke the emersion there.
I own enough merch to know the answer is yes, but you probably wouldn't thrive, unless recipes count as merch, since curry would contain all the vitamins and minerals. There's a reason the military used curry to prevent beriberi. Anyway, I never knew all of those lil appliances existed! I want them!
Pokemon has an official cooking book with a pretty wide variety of recipes in it so I'd say any of those would count.
The food served in pokemon cafes is all Pokemon themed. You can just healthy food from there.
This video is just one long pokemon advertisement and it actually makes me want to buy the product
The fact that you can actually feasibly do this is absolutely absurd.
Considering the franchise has been around for 25 years now. It's not really that shocking
@angel whispers it's not surprising, it's just ridiculous.
This video would make for the most dangerous drinking game. XDDD
Seriously, though, it's amazing just how much Pokémon has its hands in our daily lives to have ALL THESE PRODUCTS!!!
Flashback to my Squirtle and Horsea bath toys I had before I even knew what Pokemon was
Alternative title: My Future Poké-life
Yeah, it will worth it
That SwSh hoodie looks amazing and I definitely need it in my life
Me:
What are you doing in my house??
Lockstin:
I'm making waffles
If I took a shot from how many times Lockstin said "Pokemon" I wouldn't be typing this (also I have that EXACT SWSH hoodie btw)
14:06
Adapter isn't wrong, but Block is more specific
Alternate title: Lockstin slips into madness going over all kinds of Pokemon merchandise.
the ramen is actually really good. The soy sauce flavor is so different to the usual western one compared to the Japan ones. It's so flavourful and slightly salty
Lockstin: spends a video basically advertising a life of nothing but pokemerch
Also Lockstin: Meta Knight (face? kinda?) mask
I came here to say this lol
It's insane... how much different types of pokemon merch use imagery of the standard pokeball and pikachu. Almost 1000 pokemon and that yellow rat is still on everything.
Pikachu is THE spoiled rat for a reason
15:04 "These books written for Nat Dexers" I love you
I know this shows just how tight of a hold the pokemon company has on capitalizing off of everything, but this just makes me wanna buy it all
The Pokémon candles and lampshade he mentioned at 17:10 are subtle enough in their design/colour and I think they'd look really nice in any room. :D
I didn’t know what I was expecting when I clicked on this video, but this was somehow surprising.
Edit: Spoiler
Just finished watching the video, was not expecting the family abandonment
Life size furret you say...
I shall now make the meme of furret walking a reality by carting it on my back and walking around the world.
I doubt you'll see this, but it'd be hilarious to see a sequel to this with only Charmander line themed merch so we can get a glimpse into the daily life of Masuda, but also to see just how overdone the stupid lizard truly is
Ah cool, Red Bard did another one of these can you live off merch videos! Aw man, it's so cool to see her in video's again.
... wait she isn't here? Just randomly similar? Ah ok. Still good stuff.
This is what I would think about doing when I'm an eccentric billionaire
oh god, i remember some of these products from going to japan a few times
I see that the heavenly rays of Arceus have driven Lockstin mad.
The Pokèmon rabbit hole just got a whole lot weirder. Thanks Lockstin🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had the squirtle water gun and watering can lol
Hahaha intern Josh was a scraggy for a moment! 😂
this is a great explanation for what people exactly mean when they say “pokemon is the biggest franchise”
I like how 99% of Pokémon products are just the same seven Kanto Pokémon over and over again. Such variety! Very cool!
Pokemon caters to first gen lovers and it also brings back people that grew out of it. I wish they'd focus on loyal fans instead of trying to get more customers.
Who would have thought I would meet my new favorite masked Luchador at the end of a Pokemon video
I really miss the pokemon jam jars. I'm also sad that missed out on buying the official Pikachu salt and pepper shakers.
This reminds me of the video where someone actually spent an entire day on just Evangelion stuff and... they were able to be comfortable LOL
Oh man! We had those sleeping bags as kids, what a wild nostalgia trip.
Remember, most of the income from Pokemon comes from merch.
Only you could (or would) make a video like this and I love you for it. Well done!
This is stupid… I love it.
Interviewer: "Where do you see yourself in 20 years?"
Me:
Pokemon could release a rotom minifridge or even a rotom fan.
I see those working
seeing josh fall RIGHT NEXT TO AN EARTHENSTONE HEARTH made my head try to retract down to my pancreas.
I love how they can just make something yellow and then add a pikachu face, raise its price for millions!
If I’m being honest, a diet of purely Pokémon merch would either be really unhealthy or a dude running around going all hunter-gatherer with a bunch of Pokémon merch.
Fun fact: doggie diapers are typically for intact female dogs when they have their period.
Gnoggin's wife: How much did you spend on this merch?
Gnoggin: Yes
I love how you say you're so happy to see your family for Christmas on I forgot to mention because of this obsetion they've abandoned you
This was a more disturbing rabbit hole than most horror movies..
I want to imagine every one of these videos types exist in the same universe and you're just assigned a specific thing to live off of at birth.
"Oh boy I got Marvel!"
"Well I got Pokemon!"
"What did you get Bill?"
[Bill drinks from his penis shaped mug]
"Well... you know.."
WHAT IS BILL DRINKING
What is a "too much cheese"?
As far as I know there are only 2 quantities of cheese:
not enough and enough
At the start of the video I suspected that food would be an issue, however if they improved the quality of the products and you considered Food/Drink as separate as well as actual running water/plumbing & electricity/Entertainment Systems then seems possible.
“If there’s a type of toy (for kids anyways)”
One day… one day… lol
Words cannot describe how much Chef Lockstin… looks like my uncle 😂
I never knew Meta-Knight was a Pokémon XD
Lockstin: entertainment?
Me: WHAT ABOUT THE F*CKING POKEMON ANIME
But what about the socks?? Shoes without socks?! Absolutely absurd, we need answers Lockstin
I have pokemon socks
