I know for sure that Pokemon is still a thing x3
But Rick & Morty, Steven Universe, and Adventure time all are pretty popular shows right now.

idk what most people are into but im really into voltron: legendary defender

For myself, it's everything dragons... among some other things, but everything is centered around dragons.

I'm no kid, but I'm diggin' overwatch, power rangers, guns, and motorcycles.

Lol sketch's, badges, some funk shiz

I'm too old I guess, into 90s and 80s anime lol. I know that Overwatch is super popular right now, Pokemon always is, uhhh.


Also 80s aesthetic is popular! Vaporwave, VHS filters, that sort of thing. For species, it'd be cool to see more bird stuff! Like, always in general lol. As for specific kinds of merch, I'm a fan of pins, since I can just get new backings for them if the pin breaks or gets blunt. Stickers are shorter lived but fun too.

Personally I'm too broke to go to any cons or get things but I always enjoy buy galaxy and starry stuff ^^ and anything with a really unique or cute critter or something :3

id suggest looking into shows and games that are out. For obvious reasons people love splatoon and the new crash bandicoot. things like paper mario or legend of zelda. classic stuff is good too!
shows i'd suggest are like super heroes or fantasy based. castlevania is out as a show, but its also a game too. i hope that helps in some way! =)
