To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, the company behind the collectible creatures [teamed up with Target](https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-x-target-collection-available-now?ref=theomnicosm.com) to release a bunch of new items. If you were lucky enough to time [your visit to a Target store or its website](https://www.target.com/c/pokemon-x-target/-/N-x3oll?ref=theomnicosm.com) right on Sunday, you possibly could’ve gone home with Pokémon-inspired clothes, toys, puzzles or food. (Based on the fact that the coveted Kanto Starter Jackets are [selling for $300 one the secondary market](https://www.ign.com/articles/the-target-x-pokemon-anniversary-collection-is-proof-that-the-scalping-situation-is-out-of-control?ref=theomnicosm.com), I’m gonna guess most people didn’t go home with what they wanted.)

I got a box of Pop-Tarts Pokémon Frosted Vanilla Cupcake from Target’s website.

Unlike the Pokémon Pop-Tarts that came out back in the original heyday of the franchise, the new flavor is just the Frosted Vanilla Cupcake Pop-Tarts that [originally debuted back in 2000](https://www.allrecipes.com/pop-tarts-pokemon-frosted-vanilla-cupcake-11951953?ref=theomnicosm.com). Sure, they’ve added rainbow sprinkles, but these sprinkles aren’t even Pokémon-shaped like the original ones. Like a lot of the non-fruit Pop-Tarts, these Frosted Vanilla Cupcake ones [desperately need more filling](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-review-pop-tarts-super-stuffed/) to stave off the dryness you get when the interior of a Pop-Tart doesn’t have the oomph to counterbalance the pastry outside.

If you see both the Pokémon Frosted Vanilla Cupcake Pop-Tarts and the Star-Spangled Blueberry Pop-Tarts on a store shelf, [absolutely go for the latter](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-review-kellanova-soccer-snacks/).
