3 June 2026 - Since the release of the original Pokémon games, Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Green Version launched in Japan in 1996. To mark its 30th anniversary, The Pokémon Company has announced a lineup of events and initiatives across seven cities in Asia: Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Singapore, Manila, Bangkok, Jakarta, and Hong Kong.
Set to be the biggest Pokémon celebration in Asia in conjunction with Pokémon 30th Anniversary, the line up of events include PokéXciting!, Pokémon Run, Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokémon GO, shopping mall campaigns, and more.
As part of the initial announcement, the “Pokémon Asia 30th Anniversary Official Site” is set to launch today, 3 June, at 12:00 PM JST.
Mr. Susumu Fukunaga, Corporate Officer of The Pokémon Company stated, “This celebration is a tribute to everyone who has journeyed with us over the decades. Whether you are a current Trainer or a longtime fan returning to the world of Pokémon, we invite you to join us for this milestone experience. Of course, we’re also thrilled to bring the world of Pokémon to new fans in the Asian region. Therefore, we hope that this event creates a wonderful opportunity for people who are not yet familiar with Pokémon to discover it for the first-time.”
“We are pleased to bring to you a dedicated website to officially connect to our fans in Asia for each celebration in the seven cities. We hope everyone can look forward to the celebration together.”
