Pokémon Timeless Adventure Turns the “つながる” Anniversary Theme Into Merchandise

Pokémon has announced Pokémon Timeless Adventure, a merchandise line featuring illustrations for its 30th-anniversary pickup theme, “つながる” (“connecting”). The scene is set at a Pokémon Camp in Galar, where Pikachu, Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble appear together as a Rotom Phone captures the moment. The product announcement gives the anniversary theme a concrete setting built around sharing a memory.

The lineup includes an A4 clear file (¥495), sticker set (¥770), acrylic block (¥2,860), acrylic keychain (¥935) and roll cookies (¥1,760; prices include tax). Sales are scheduled to begin at Pokémon Centers on October 3, while Pokémon Center Online sales are due to start October 1 at 10 a.m. The cookies are also listed for Pokémon Stores.

The same announcement lists a Galar Gym Badge Collection for Pokémon Center Online, scheduled for October 1 at 10 a.m. at ¥26,400. Its badges can be joined like puzzle pieces to form one large badge. The announcement says the collection will not be sold at physical Pokémon Center or Pokémon Store locations at launch.

The connection theme also appeared in an official 30th-anniversary video message posted on September 30. Pokémon Center has previously offered connectable Slowpoke-themed plush merchandise, giving the new collection a historical parallel in the brand’s use of linking designs.
