Believe it or not, Pokémon is celebrating 30 years in 2026. That's only 100 years fewer than the Louis Vuitton logo!
The exact Pokémon anniversary date is 27 February, commemorating three decades since the original games, Pokémon Red and Green, were released in Japan. And to start the celebration, The Pokemon Company's official Japanese social media accounts posted a 19-second video that brings back a fan-favourite retro character design: the original, fuller-figured Pikachu.
