Pokémon Reveals Massive New 1,025-Design 30th Anniversary T-Shirt Collab Collection
ZOZOTOWN is celebrating Pokémon’s 30th anniversary with an enormous new T-shirt collection that lets fans choose from all 1,025 Pokémon discovered across the series so far.
The “Pokémon 30th Anniversary 1025 T-shirt Collection presented by ZOZOTOWN” range is built around the idea of wearing your favorite Pokémon, with some alternative forms also represented among the available designs.
Pokémon officially reached its 30th anniversary in 2026, marking three decades since Pokémon Red and Green first launched in Japan on February 27, 1996, and introduced the original generation of 151 Pokémon.
The new ZOZOTOWN collection stretches far beyond those original Kanto favorites, covering Pokémon introduced across every subsequent generation and giving fans the opportunity to choose everything from longtime icons such as Pikachu and Charizard to considerably more recent additions.
Each shirt combines the selected Pokémon with a special logo created for the franchise’s 30th anniversary, giving the collection a consistent commemorative appearance despite the huge number of character choices.
Pikachu gets an additional ZOZOTOWN-specific variation, with the “30” incorporated into its anniversary logo changed to black to match the fashion retailer’s own version of the design.
The scale of the lineup is matched by a wide range of sizing, with 13 options covering children’s sizes from 100cm through 160cm alongside adult sizes ranging from S through XXXL.
Each T-shirt will also come with a ZOZOTOWN-designed Pikachu logo sticker, while every shirt will be individually packaged inside a special original box rather than being shipped as standard apparel.
Not every design will necessarily become available at exactly the same time, with ZOZO confirming that some Pokémon will be added gradually after the collection initially launches.
The huge 1,025-design lineup arrives shortly after Pokémon took a similarly ambitious approach to its anniversary celebrations with “Pokémon All-Stars 1025,” an official 22-minute song that challenges musician Masayoshi Oishi to sing the names of every Pokémon introduced from Red and Green through Scarlet and Violet’s The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero.
Pokémon Center has also been revisiting the history of the games through its 30th anniversary “Game Package” collection, which transformed box artwork from multiple generations into T-shirts and other merchandise spanning the Game Boy through Nintendo Switch eras.
More recent anniversary merchandise has included the “Pokémon Timeless Adventure Alola” collection starring Rowlet, Litten and Popplio, continuing a region-by-region series that previously covered Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos.
