At Pokeclaw, a new Mid City claw machine arcade that opened Oct. 6, there's plushies, Pokémon cards, Labubus and more up for the taking.

At 5355 Government St. in Baton Rouge, Pokeclaw has eight claw machines filled with plushies, and all ages can play for as low as $1.

Owner Edmond Ng has lived in Baton Rouge for 10 years, and he wanted to open a spot that offers fun for the whole family.

"I got two kids of my own, so I wanted to open something kid-friendly and for Pokémon lovers too," Ng said.

Ng and his son bond over their love for Pokémon, and his 4-year-old daughter loves the British children's TV show "Peppa Pig," so he dedicated a claw machine to her and filled it with characters from the show.

Other machines have Hello Kitty, Pokémon, safari and babydoll plushies.
