Pokémon’s New 30th-Anniversary Video Invites Fans to Connect with Electric Pokémon and Oricorio
Posted on October 1, 2026, the official Pokémon YouTube video ties the 30th-anniversary theme “つながる” (“connecting”) to enjoying the celebration with Electric-type Pokémon and Oricorio.
Full Report
The official Pokémon YouTube channel posted “【公式】テーマは「つながる」!ポケモンたちと30周年を楽しもう” on October 1, 2026. The video links the franchise’s 30th-anniversary theme, “つながる” (“connecting”), with enjoying the celebration alongside Electric-type Pokémon and Oricorio (オドリドリ) and other Pokémon.
The video follows another anniversary post from the channel on September 30. That earlier video also named “つながる” as its theme and invited people to connect through Pokémon. The new post brings the same theme to a focus on enjoying the anniversary with Electric Pokémon and Oricorio.
Together, the two videos show the anniversary theme appearing across consecutive official posts, with the newer one centering on Pokémon as companions in the celebration. The supplied announcement describes the video’s theme and invitation; it does not provide merchandise or sales details.
Why This Matters
The video gives fans another concrete expression of the 30th-anniversary theme and provides a clear link to the official channel’s preceding post, which used the same “connecting” theme.
