Pokémon Legends: Z-A has captivated longtime trainers and newcomers alike with its innovative gameplay and fresh takes on classic Pokémon lore.
As fans anticipate the global release of the Mega Dimension DLC on December 10, 2024, The Pokémon Company has brought some of the game’s digital treats into the real world.
Tokyo’s Pikachu Sweets café, a branch of the revered Pokémon Café, is introducing two themed doughnuts and a new beverage, all inspired by key elements from the forthcoming expansion. The addition of the 'Red Doughnut' and 'Blue Doughnut' to the Pikachu Sweets menu is creating a buzz among fans.
Debuting on December 10 for 550 yen each, these desserts directly reference the Mega Dimension DLC's in-game pastry treats.
According to the official item description, 'The doughnuts are inspired by the special doughnuts that appear in the paid add-on content, Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Mega Dimension! They look like some kind of Pokémon…?' Although presented under their current names, the desserts’ colors and designs make an unmistakable nod to the Generation III Legendary Pokémon, Groudon and Kyogre—both franchise icons first introduced in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. A new specialty beverage joins the doughnuts on the menu: 'Hoopa’s Mischief Ruby Chocolate Frappe.' Its vibrant pink hue and whimsical toppings reinforce the café's dedicated adaptation of themes and motifs from the Mega Dimension DLC.
In recent statements, The Pokémon Company has emphasized how collaborations like this aim to 'immerse fans in the world of Pokémon beyond video games,' expanding the franchise’s cultural impact. Pokémon Legends: Z-A, available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch and via the Nintendo eShop, will expand on its base adventure with the Mega Dimension DLC, priced at £24.99 / $29.99.
The expansion introduces a fresh dimension-hopping storyline, new Mega Evolutions for Pokémon including Raichu, Baxcalibur, Chimecho, and Zeraora, and playable content set in the mysterious Hyperspace Luminose.
The Pokémon Company has confirmed that the final news update for this DLC arrives on December 2, promising more reveals for dedicated players. Since its debut, Pokémon Legends: Z-A has been met with critical acclaim for its innovative mechanics and world-building, continuing The Pokémon Company's storied tradition of blending nostalgic elements with bold, new experiences.
With themed offerings at the Pikachu Sweets café and new in-game content on the horizon, 2024 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Pokémon fans worldwide.
