Limited Edition Pepsi x Pokémon 30th Anniversary Drinks Bottles Revealed
Japan’s Suntory Beverage & Food has officially revealed the second wave of its expansive “Pokémon” tie-up campaign.
18 unique original Pokémon package designs are set to appear across a wide variety of popular drinks distributed by the company this summer, including Pepsi.
This exciting promotional campaign is designed to commemorate the massive 30th anniversary of the legendary Pokémon game series, which originally debuted in Japan in February 1996.
The world-famous series has grown from its humble handheld beginnings into a global phenomenon that continues to capture the hearts of fans across multiple generations.
The Pokémon collaboration packaging will appear on six iconic beverage brands, with each brand offering three different labels for collectors and casual fans alike to enjoy.
Fans will soon be able to find commemorative Pokémon labels on “C.C. Lemon,” “Pepsi BIG ZERO,” and the citrus-infused “Pepsi BIG ZERO LEMON.”
The colorful “POP Melon Soda” alongside the refreshing “Natchan Apple” and “Natchan Orange” juices will also feature new limited-edition illustrations.
The design choices for each label have been thoughtfully selected to mirror the specific colors and flavors of the beverages they represent.
The artwork across all 18 labels has been crafted to evoke a sense of nostalgia while celebrating the growth of the series through the inclusion of newer Pokémon.
