To mark the occasion, The Pok\u00e9mon Company has released one of its most ambitious merchandise lines yet \u2014 a collection of products designed around the box art of every major mainline Pok\u00e9mon game ever made, covering the full run from 1996&#8217;s Pok\u00e9mon Red and Green right through to last year&#8217;s Pok\u00e9mon LEGENDS: Z-A. The goods went live at Pok\u00e9mon Center Online Japan on 18 June 2026 at 10am JST (that&#8217;s 9am SGT, so some of us may already be placing orders).<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pokemon-30th-package-collection.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon 30th anniversary game package collection products\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Image courtesy of The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What Is the Pok\u00e9mon Game Package Collection?<\/h2>\n<p>The line, officially called the Pok\u00e9mon Game Package Collection, spans 39 major Pok\u00e9mon game releases \u2014 every mainline title, both paired versions and the Legends games. The designs are based on the <em>Japanese<\/em> box art, which matters to collectors: Pok\u00e9mon Green, the Japan-exclusive twin to Red that never received an international release, appears in its own right here rather than being swapped out for Pok\u00e9mon Blue. For Western fans and Singapore collectors who grew up seeing only Red and Blue on shop shelves, that&#8217;s a genuinely rare treat.<\/p>\n<h2>Everything in the Lineup \u2014 and What It Costs<\/h2>\n<p>The collection covers six main product types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Package Pins<\/strong> \u2014 generation-grouped sets with glitter-edged enamel pins faithfully recreating each box art. Sets run from \u00a5660 (roughly S$6) for a single-game set like Legends: Z-A up to \u00a52,640 (S$24) for the original Red and Green duo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Package Magnet Collection<\/strong> \u2014 3D magnets that replicate the shape, texture and metallic finishes of the actual game boxes, including glitter effects. Capsule-toy format, grouped by era.<\/li>\n<li><strong>T-Shirts in Box-Shaped Pouches<\/strong> \u2014 \u00a53,960 (\u2248S$36) each, available in M and L. The front features the Pok\u00e9mon from that game&#8217;s box art; the back prints a chronological timeline of every game release. The pouch itself is shaped like the game&#8217;s original software packaging.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Package Cap &amp; Sacoche (Shoulder Bag)<\/strong> \u2014 Both \u00a52,970 (\u2248S$27). The cap and bag are designed as canvases to display your pins \u2014 attach your collection and wear it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Package &amp; Game Card Keychain Collection<\/strong> \u2014 \u00a5400 (\u2248S$4) capsule toys featuring true-to-life miniature cartridges and game cards from various eras.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Package Pins All Package Collection 1996\u20132025<\/strong> \u2014 The centrepiece. All 39 game box art pins, arranged in chronological order and displayed in a framed wall piece with a built-in stand. Priced at \u00a530,000 (\u2248S$274). Yes, it is expensive. Yes, we want one anyway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pokemon-30th-package-gonintendo.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon 30th anniversary package pin collection framed display\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Image courtesy of The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>The Green Version Moment \u2014 Why This Collection Hits Different<\/h2>\n<p>Most Singapore Pok\u00e9mon fans grew up with Red and Blue \u2014 Green was the one that only Japanese kids got. Seeing it represented alongside its counterpart in a chronologically ordered display is a small but meaningful nod to the franchise&#8217;s history. The collection also doesn&#8217;t skimp on the dual-game pairings: Diamond and Pearl each get their own pin, Gold and Silver each get their own design, all the way through Scarlet and Violet. For anyone who has collected multiple versions across 30 years, the full 39-game framed display is essentially a trophy of the hobby itself.<\/p>\n<h2>How Singapore Fans Can Order<\/h2>\n<p>The Pok\u00e9mon Game Package Collection is currently available exclusively at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokemon.co.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pok\u00e9mon Center Online Japan<\/a> \u2014 no confirmed Singapore or international release date has been announced. That&#8217;s standard for Japan-exclusive Pok\u00e9mon Center drops, and it does not mean an international release won&#8217;t happen, just that it hasn&#8217;t been confirmed yet.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Singapore fans have a few reliable options for import shopping:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Buyee<\/strong> \u2014 A widely used proxy service that lets you purchase from Japanese sites directly. Works with Pok\u00e9mon Center Online.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ZenMarket<\/strong> \u2014 Similar proxy, popular in the SG community, no subscription needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meccha Japan<\/strong> \u2014 A dedicated Japanese import store that often stocks Pok\u00e9mon Center goods directly. Worth bookmarking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Shipping and proxy fees will add to the cost, so factor in around 20\u201330% on top of the yen prices above.

This collection is a tangible, displayable reminder of that journey. Whether you&#8217;re going for a \u00a5660 single-era pin or dropping \u00a530,000 on the full framed display, there&#8217;s something here for every type of Pok\u00e9mon fan. Just don&#8217;t blame us when your wallet takes a hit.<\/p>\n<p><!--GT-SCOUT source=\"Web (English)\" theme=\"Pokemon\" flags=\"Japan-only at launch; no confirmed SGD price or SG release date\"--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pok\u00e9mon Center Online launches a massive 30th anniversary merch range today \u2014 pins, T-shirts, magnets and a \u00a530,000 framed display of all 39 game box arts.
