Anipoke After Story
The Zenigame Fire Brigade has now become a very popular in town.
Satoshi, of course, but also Fushigidane, Lizardon, and Pikachu seem happy to see the Zenigame playing a very active role.
Does it feel good dressing up in cheering goods?
Translation Note: 応援グッズ refers to merchandise used to cheer on idols at concerts, the heroes at stage plays, sports teams, etc.
なりきり気分 refers to throwing yourself into a fandom or role whole-heartedly. It can refer to cosplaying as a character, but in this case, the characters are clearly using the merch to roleplay Zenigame in their heads.
