In a recent announcement featured by Famitsu, renowned peripheral manufacturer Hori has introduced a new collection of officially licensed Pokémon accessories designed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Set to arrive in April 2026, these accessories offer fans a chance to further personalize their gaming experience, drawing from iconic in-game inspiration and featuring fan-favorite characters like Ditto – known as Metamon in Japanese releases. Among the newly revealed hardware accessories, the standout item is the Pokédex Switch 2 game carrying case.
Designed to resemble the essential encyclopedia carried by Pokémon Trainers, this compact case captures the aesthetics of the original Pokédex while incorporating modern functionality.
Constructed from premium faux leather, the carrying case holds up to eight Nintendo Switch 2 game cards, offering both practical storage and nostalgic appeal for collectors invested in physical editions – a feature especially appreciated amid current difficulties in finding physical copies of popular titles like Pokémon Pokopia. For gamers in need of flexible carrying solutions, Hori has also developed the Ditto Switch 2 "Puffy Hybrid" pouch.
This versatile pouch features a convertible handle, allowing it to function as a standard carrying bag or be worn like a messenger bag for greater convenience.
A second style, the “Metamon Decoration” pouch, is finished in sleek black with subtle Ditto etchings and comes with decorative stickers for added customization.
Both accessories are tailored to accommodate the Nintendo Switch 2 and key accessories, making them ideal for on-the-go Switch players and Pokéfans alike. Dedicated Ditto aficionados will appreciate the standalone Ditto carrying case and a dedicated Ditto-themed gamepad – the Horipad Turbo.
Engineered for compatibility with both Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, this controller includes a detachable USB cable, integrated microphone input, and classic D-pad configuration, catering to a wide range of game genres.
The Ditto controller’s thoughtful design merges playful aesthetics with robust gaming functionality, maintaining Hori’s reputation within the gaming accessory industry for delivering quality and innovation. Hori has opened pre-orders for these Pokémon-themed peripherals through Amazon Japan and Rakuten, with a targeted release window of April 2026.
This announcement aligns with Pokémon Pokopia’s recent in-game and retail success, further fueling anticipation for both software and hardware tie-ins within the Switch ecosystem. As Nintendo Switch 2 continues to generate buzz ahead of its official launch, Hori’s new Pokémon collection arrives as a timely addition, inviting both new and longtime fans to enhance their gameplay experience.
Stay tuned for updates and further coverage on Hori’s official product releases and future Nintendo accessory announcements.
