Pokemon Gold and Silver 25th Anniversary Goods Appear

The Pokemon Company revealed a new lineup of merchandise themed after Pokemon Gold and Silver right on the game’s 25th anniversary date on November 21, 2024. The company is also gradually putting the items up for sale in its Japanese online and physical Pokemon Center stores.

The merchandise lineup ranges from plushes of Golden Ho-Oh and Silver Lugia priced at 4,400 yen (~$28.55) each to jackets that cost 22,000 yen (~$142.85). However, most of the items already have their online stocks sold out in just half a day after the company made the reveal at 10 AM JST. As of midnight in the Japanese time zone (10 AM ET), the only items still available for orders online are the 495 yen (~$3.20) socks, the Miltank Moomoo Milk-themed correction tape at 550 yen (~$3.55), and a set of multicolored pens with one side producing square pixels at 1,540 yen (~$10).

Pokemon Gold and Silver appeared on Game Boy Color first in Japan on November 21, 1999. Nintendo released Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver as remakes on the DS to mark the game’s 10th anniversary in 2009. The company also brought the original GBC games to the 3DS via Virtual Console in 2017.

The Pokemon Gold and Silver 25th anniversary merchandise is immediately available to order online—although most of the items have already sold out in less than half a day since the opening. The items will be available for sale in physical Pokemon Center stores across Japan on November 23, 2024.
