The Pokemon Company has partnered with The Hershey Company to launch a new chocolate collection featuring iconic Kanto Pokémon. This exciting collaboration will debut this summer, showcasing a variety of chocolate products that are sure to delight fans of the franchise. The collection will include full-size chocolate bars adorned with 12 unique designs and 18 designs on snack-size bars. Additionally, all 151 Kanto Pokémon will be featured on the foil wrappers of Hershey’s Kisses, making this a nostalgic treat for fans and collectors alike.
Many longtime Pokémon fans remember the candy-packed shelves of the 90s, often showcasing characters like Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. For those eager for more Pokémon content, the next game in the franchise, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, is set to release on October 16, 2025. This sequel to the beloved Pokémon X and Y games is the second in the Pokémon Legends series and follows the 2022 release of Arceus. Pre-orders for Pokémon Legends: Z-A are already available, and trainers who reserve their copy will receive a free starter plushie as an added incentive.
In addition to the chocolate collection, fans of Bulbasaur and Pikachu can look forward to themed accessories from Loungefly. The collaboration between The Pokémon Company and Hershey’s also allows die-hard trainers to keep track of their Hershey’s Kisses collection on the Hershey’s website. Furthermore, there’s an opportunity to win a limited-edition Collector’s Case, perfect for storing collected Kisses. Lastly, Pokémon fans can also anticipate the US appearance of the Pokémon Fossil Museum, which features life-sized replicas of Pokémon skeletons compared to real-world fossils.
While this exciting event may be some time away, it promises to educate and engage Pokémon enthusiasts with a unique blend of science and nostalgia.
