For this special anniversary project, the manufacturer has focused on the concept of the “Journey’s Beginning.”

The collection spans the entire history of the main series games, starting from the original Red and Green titles set in the Kanto region, all the way to the recent Scarlet and Violet titles set in the Paldea region.

The packaging has been designed specifically for this anniversary event.

Each box features background art and design elements that reflect the atmosphere of the respective region, allowing collectors to display the figures inside the box without needing to open them.
