The Pokémon Company has officially launched a dedicated website to commemorate the Pokémon franchise's 30th Anniversary, marking a significant milestone for one of the most beloved properties in gaming history.
As the global sensation approaches three decades of adventure, innovation, and cultural impact, this anniversary initiative serves as a pivotal hub for fans and newcomers alike.
Since its debut with Pokémon Red and Green in 1996 in Japan, the Pokémon series has expanded across multiple hardware generations, including the Nintendo Switch, and has achieved over 440 million units in global sales as of 2024. The newly unveiled 30th Anniversary site functions as the central resource for all news and developments related to the anniversary celebrations.
Visitors to the website will find timely updates on upcoming events, commemorative projects, and announcements pertaining to the Pokémon world.
Among the featured content is a link to an upcoming special anniversary video, which has already generated anticipation within the community, further highlighting the enduring legacy of the brand. Notably, the website introduces an interactive “Create Your #Pokemon30 Snapshot” feature.
This initiative invites enthusiasts to utilize a downloadable app, Pokémon GO, to create memorable photo moments with their favorite Pokémon, regardless of whether they have an existing Pokémon GO account.
The tool’s accessibility aims to engage a broader audience and promote a sense of inclusivity among veteran players, collectors, and fans experiencing Pokémon for the first time. A Pokémon Company spokesperson explained in a recent statement that the anniversary site is designed to bring the community together and offer a destination for fans to share in the festivities throughout the year.
"We want every trainer, old and new, to celebrate the world of Pokémon alongside us.
The website will provide the latest details on anniversary events, unique digital experiences, and collaborations within the global Pokémon community," the representative shared. The Pokémon series, developed in cooperation with Game Freak, Creatures Inc., and published by Nintendo, has consistently innovated with each generation, introducing new gameplay mechanics, regional Pokémon, and cross-media content ranging from trading cards to anime.
The launch of the 30th Anniversary website coincides with ongoing expanded releases of the franchise, including new titles and updates for Nintendo Switch and the official series mobile games like Pokémon GO and Pokémon Masters EX. As the Pokémon franchise continues to evolve, fans can expect regular updates and interactive experiences to be rolled out via the official website throughout the anniversary year.
Industry watchers recommend bookmarking the site to stay informed about celebratory news, eShop promotions, special digital events, and commemorative merchandise.
