Perhaps the biggest difference between a teddy bear and a stuffed animal like Pokemon is the price-I think teddy bears are much more expensive. And the second difference is sales. Pokemon plush toys probably sell more than 1000 to 1 (probably much larger) than teddy bears.
Adults are much more interested in teddy bears than children. And they are usually women who are more interested in them as collectors and ornaments than hugging at night.
Obviously, old teddy bears were very popular, but as loving dolls, they are now quite forgotten. When I was a kid, I never had a teddy bear or knew who had it. I’m not a spring chicken. Sure, there was Barbie, but who could snuggle up to the Barbie doll?
Pokemon plush toys (called stuffed animals) come in a variety of sizes and, like high quality teddy bears, aren’t that soft when new, but over time they will soften when handled by hand. My son has never seen him hug, but he is in bed with him. Much older children (actually teens) also like to collect Pokemon plush toys (especially now popular are Pokemon black and white). why?
Pokemon dolls are both toys and collectibles. Classic bears have history and heritage, in other words they permeate culture, but there is no story behind them, and teddy bears enjoy much more diversity than they initially imagined. Pokemon is, in fact, all about diversity-mutations. Behind Pokemon is the whole world, which is supposed to collect artifacts. Pseudoscience is growing behind Pokemon. It’s very different. You won’t see black and white teddy bear card games, but you can buy legendary Pokemon cards.
I don’t know what the teddy was. Relatively speaking, toys were much more expensive than they are today. I think teddy bears are probably several generations old. Monetary value now reflects heritage and handmade. Pokemon dolls represent the commercialization of the popular boom phenomenon. I don’t know if the children’s feelings are so different, but they are very different.
In some respects, the two remain the same. In real life, bears are strong and dangerous animals. They may be soft, but they never hug them (most do not anyway). In fantasy, Pokemon are just as dangerous creatures. However, both are in the form of dolls and look cute and harmless. In general, people are afraid of scary things in the dark. The cute stuffed toy of the beast relieves that fear.
