Pokemon Carrying a gun (a.k.a. friend world) is a huge hit, with many children and teenagers enjoying this open-world survival crafting game. It’s likely to be a popular source of inspiration for Halloween costumes this year, so, as expected, some companies are already producing unofficial merchandise that may end up having people knocking on your doorstep asking for the candy later this fall.
friend world Has millions of players It is one of the most played games in the world right now. As I write this on a random Tuesday afternoon, the number of concurrent players on Steam is over 300,000. The game features cuteness, Pokemon– Like Little Creatures Called Pals, which was a huge success, when something gets so big, so fast, it often leads to a weird period where official merchandise is nowhere to be found.Naturally, other companies began producing and selling knockoffs friend world merchandise, including some full-body costumes that do look weird.
as found VG24/7, friend worldAs with many other popular video games, knockoff clothing is sold on several different websites. on Redditsomeone spotted these full-body outfits that are currently on sale AliExpress $20. These look like 80’s costumes that you bought at the drug store because you forgot it was Halloween tomorrow and your kids reluctantly wore it because, well, they still wanted candy. Plus, it’s kind of creepy. Imagine you’ve watched a bunch of horror movies and one of them knocks on your door late at night.

For those curious, it doesn’t look like the studio behind PocketPair friend world, any official apparel based on the game has been released. So these are most likely just hasty knockoffs. I don’t even believe the outfits look the same as the ad pictures. Please note before purchasing.
For those kids who end up dressing up as their friends friend world I’m sorry this Halloween, but this is how you trick-or-treat all night long:
Old lady: Oh, look. What a cute Pokémon.
Child: I am a friend…
Old Lady: Oh, great, honey, have some caramel.
