The Pokémon Company has confirmed special commemorative pieces for the franchise’s 30th anniversary, including two solid-gold statues of Gholdengo and Pikachu that will be displayed in Yokohama.
Pokémon is managed by The Pokémon Company with core development historically handled by Game Freak, and the series remains a flagship property on Nintendo hardware such as the Nintendo Switch.
According to the announcement, the sculptures include a 6 cm solid-gold Gholdengo that will be offered for sale at a price just under $10,000, and a larger 50 cm gold Pikachu that will be part of the exhibition but not available for purchase.
In journalistic terms: The Pokémon Company stated the Gholdengo statue will be a 6-centimeter solid-gold piece priced at just under $10,000, while the 50-centimeter gold Pikachu will be displayed as an exhibit-only item and will not be sold.
Both pieces are scheduled to be viewable on the eighth floor of Yokohama Takashimaya in Japan from 30 September to 5 October.
The display is part of broader 30th anniversary celebrations organized by The Pokémon Company, which have included limited-edition merchandise, events, and collaborations tied to the long-running franchise since its 1996 debut.
These gold statues underscore Pokémon’s enduring cultural footprint and the company’s approach to milestone marketing.
Collectors and fans familiar with Pokémon merchandising will recognize that The Pokémon Company frequently pairs high-profile physical displays with digital and retail promotions across Nintendo-related channels; historically, major franchise announcements have appeared in venues and showcases that target both local and international audiences.
For fans planning to view the statues in Yokohama, the eighth-floor exhibition at Takashimaya will be the official public opportunity to see both works in person during the listed dates.
The Pokémon Company provided the details in its public announcement; for further specifics and any purchase procedures for the Gholdengo piece, interested parties should consult official Pokémon channels.
This display is one of several activities highlighting Pokémon’s 30th anniversary and reflects the ongoing collaboration between The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, and Nintendo platforms that have hosted the series over three decades.
