UNIQLO UT Unveils Pokémon 30th Anniversary Special Collection Featuring Watercolor Art Inspired by the Original Pokémon World

UNIQLO UT has announced a special Pokémon 30th anniversary collection, celebrating the beloved franchise with watercolor style artwork inspired by the world of the original Pokémon games.

The graphic T shirt brand UT from UNIQLO revealed that the collection will launch on March 23, commemorating the 30th anniversary of Pokémon in 2026. The lineup features designs using watercolor style artwork that symbolizes the atmosphere of the first generation of Pokémon titles. The collection aims to create designs that can be enjoyed across generations.

The artwork used in the collection reflects the gentle colors and hand drawn feeling of the illustrations created during the early days of Pokémon. For adults, the designs evoke nostalgia for the Pokémon they grew up with, while for children, the lineup offers fresh and warm expressions of the characters.

The collection includes a total of ten designs, with five styles for men and five styles for kids. One of the highlights is that parents and children can wear matching designs, making the collection easy to incorporate into everyday styling.

In addition, a special interview with comedian and entertainer Naomi Watanabe, known as a passionate Pokémon fan, will be released in advance on the Today’s Pick Up website starting March 4. In the interview, she talks about how she first encountered Pokémon, how she enjoys the franchise, and the choices she has made throughout her globally active career.

Watanabe will also appear for the first time in UT magazine Issue 13, which is scheduled to be distributed at UNIQLO stores not only in Japan but also overseas starting in March.
