The Pokémon Company has officially commenced celebrations for one of gaming’s most beloved franchises, marking the 30th anniversary of Pokémon.
Established in 1996, the Pokémon franchise has grown into a global cultural phenomenon, with mainline RPGs, spin-off titles, trading cards, TV shows, films, and merchandise all contributing to its enduring legacy.
As of early 2026, Pokémon remains one of the top-selling video game franchises worldwide, with key installments on the Nintendo Switch platform, including Pokémon Sword and Shield, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus. In honor of this significant milestone, The Pokémon Company has launched an all-new 30th anniversary website.
The site features custom logos commemorating every Pokémon from the franchise’s history.
According to an official statement from The Pokémon Company, this digital initiative is designed to celebrate the unique legacy of each Pokémon and to engage the community with new content and activities tied to the anniversary celebration.
Visitors can access the website today to explore the full gallery of logos, which visually capture the evolution and diversity of the Pokémon universe from its original 151 through to contemporary favorites. The celebratory rollout is part of a broader series of commemorative events that culminate during the annual Pokémon Day observance.
The main highlight for fans will be the upcoming Pokémon Presents presentation, set for February 27, 2026—Pokémon Day itself.
These live-streamed events have historically served as the stage for major announcements concerning new game releases, updates to current titles, and special content for platforms such as the Nintendo Switch and the eShop. In the lead-up to Pokémon Day, company representatives emphasized their gratitude to fans, noting, "We are honored to celebrate three decades of Pokémon with our global community.
This anniversary website is just the beginning of the festivities planned for the year." The Pokémon Company also pointed to the collaborative achievements it has made with development partners like Game Freak, Creatures Inc., and Nintendo, ensuring ongoing innovation within the franchise. With over 440 million games sold globally and a robust presence on the Nintendo Switch, Pokémon continues to engage new generations of players.
Fans are encouraged to visit the official 30th anniversary website and to tune in to the Pokémon Presents digital showcase for a full reveal of upcoming projects and celebratory initiatives.
