Official Pokémon Multi-Region 30th Anniversary Release Takes Fans From Kanto to Paldea
A collection spanning regions
The Pokémon Company’s anniversary lineup focuses on maps, roads and landmarks featured throughout the games. It offers three kinds of merchandise for each region: a framed map, a diorama music box and a papercraft model.
Examples include music boxes based on Route 1 from Pokémon Red and Green and Route 209 from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Papercrafts depict places such as Ecruteak City’s Bell Tower and Lumiose City’s Prism Tower.
Details behind the designs
The music boxes play background music associated with the games’ locations. Some papercraft models include parts that open and close. The framed maps feature raised and recessed terrain, along with frames decorated with Pikachu and berries. The company described them as items designed for display.
