Kim Kardashian recently celebrated a significant occasion in her family as her youngest son, Psalm West, turned seven years old. The renowned SKIMS founder hosted a Pokémon-themed birthday party that was vibrant and engaging, embodying the spirit of the popular franchise that her children have come to adore. The event took place on Saturday, May 9, and was attended by various family members and friends.

In a series of photos shared on Instagram, Kardashian showcased the delightful decorations and activities that made the day special. Key highlights included large, colourful balloons shaped like Poké Balls, a life-sized Pikachu figure, and towering cards featuring well-known Pokémon characters. The celebration aimed to immerse attendees in the Pokémon universe, complete with a plethora of themed decorations that would excite fans of all ages.
Psalm, who wore a black Pikachu t-shirt he had previously donned during a family trip to Tokyo, fully embraced the theme. Accompanying him was his sister, Chicago West, aged eight, who sported a white graphic tee adorned with images of popular Pokémon characters, including Pikachu and Ash Ketchum. Their brother, Saint West, 10, chose a grey graphic t-shirt paired with light-wash jeans, keeping with the festive mood.
While the eldest sibling, North West, aged 12, did not feature in the snapshots, other family members such as cousins, including nine-year-old Dream, daughter of Rob Kardashian, were present, adding to the festivities. Kardashian’s Instagram caption for the post read, “Pokemon Psalm!” which effectively conveyed the joyous occasion.
The West family’s enthusiasm for Pokémon is well documented. Just earlier this year, Kim Kardashian was seen engaging in the fun of collecting Pokémon cards alongside her son Saint and DJ Steve Aoki. Notably, she made headlines after purchasing a highly sought-after BGS 10-graded Hidden Fates Shiny Charizard card in March, indicating her active involvement in the Pokémon community.
Last year, Psalm’s birthday bash took a different turn with a Deadpool and Wolverine theme, showing Kardashian’s penchant for organising creative celebrations tailored to her children’s interests. The change in theme year on year not only reflects the evolving interests of her children but also Kardashian’s commitment to making each birthday special in its own right.
Kardashian has spoken fondly of Psalm in previous interviews, mentioning how he has had a unifying effect on the family. Shortly after his birth, she remarked that he had a special gift for bringing everyone together, emphasising how much love and joy he has brought into their lives. “They love him. He has helped everyone come together. So now everyone gets along,” she stated in a September 2019 interview with PEOPLE.
This recent birthday party is a testament to the close-knit bond the Kardashian-West family shares and demonstrates their ability to create cherished memories despite their celebrity status. As one of her children’s most cherished interests, Pokémon will undoubtedly remain a focal point for future celebrations, paving the way for more exciting and imaginative parties in the years to come.
With memories of such joyful gatherings, Kim Kardashian continues to navigate motherhood while ensuring her children experience the joys of childhood in unique and memorable ways. As Psalm grows older, it will be intriguing to see what themes the family will embrace as they come together to celebrate another year of his life.
