The Pokémon Company in collaboration with Yomiuriland have jointly established the entertainment business PokéPark KANTO to operate on a portion of the Yomiuriland site. Yomiuriland is located in the Tama Hills in the Kanto region of Japan, where rich nature still remains.

NEW WAYS TO PLAY AND MORE EXCITING DETAILS ANNOUNCED FOR THE HIDDEN TREASURE OF AREA ZERO PART 2: THE INDIGO DISK

The Second Chapter of the DLC for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet Launches December 14

London, United Kingdom —December 7, 2023—Today, The Pokémon Company International announced more details about The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk DLC for the Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet video games. The Indigo Disk launches exclusively on the Nintendo Switch family of systems on December 14, 2023.

The Synchro Machine

Once players progress far enough in their adventure in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk, they’ll be able to use a device called the Synchro Machine to see the world through the eyes of their Pokémon. While synchronized with one of their Pokémon, they’ll be able to move around and battle wild Pokémon—a fresh new way to play the game. It appears that this device is still a prototype. Players will be able to use it once they’ve helped a scientist in the Terarium with her research.

The Power of Flight

The Legendary Pokémon Koraidon or Miraidon will gain the power to fly for the first time when Trainers take on the Elite Trial set by Amarys of the BB League Elite Four. While at first this power is believed to be only temporarily imparted, it can apparently be made permanent, allowing Koraidon and Miraidon to fly at any time—but only once players have made it far enough in their adventure. Trainers will be able to fly wherever they please with their Legendary Pokémon and enjoy the sense of freedom that only an open world can provide.

Legendary Pokémon

After completing the main story of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk, Trainers can meet a curious character named Snacksworth at Blueberry Academy. By completing Blueberry Quests (BBQs) in the Terarium, Trainers can earn snacks from Snacksworth that will allow them to encounter certain Legendary Pokémon from throughout the series back in the Paldea region! He’ll also share his extensive knowledge about these Pokémon with Trainers—as well as tall tales of his own heroic encounters with them.

Tiffany & Co. Debuts Its Next Creative Collaboration with Contemporary Artist Daniel Arsham in Partnership with The Pokémon Company: The Tiffany & Arsham Studio & Pokémon Capsule Collection

Nov 13, 2023 - NEW YORK, NY—Tiffany & Co. announces the debut of its latest collaboration with contemporary artist, Daniel Arsham, in partnership with one of the world’s most popular entertainment franchises, Pokémon: the Tiffany & Arsham Studio & Pokémon capsule collection. Designed in Arsham’s “Future Relics” aesthetic, where he reimagines everyday objects as archaeological discoveries from an imagined future. The collection is inspired by Arsham’s exhibition in Japan, A Ripple in Time, which features a variety of Pokémon works of art meant to evoke the passage of time. The collection features nine jewelry designs from pendants to necklaces highlighting six iconic Pokémon displaying unparalleled creativity, artistry and design while reinforcing the House’s longstanding connection to contemporary art and iconic pop culture.

“With my latest project with Tiffany, we’ve recontextualized Pokémon—a nod to my 2022 A Ripple in Time project in Tokyo—to orchestrate a new narrative,” said Daniel Arsham. “With Pokémon and Tiffany, itself, there’s a sense of cultural permanence about each.”

The Tiffany & Arsham Studio & Pokémon capsule collection will feature an oxidized sterling silver pendant with diamond accents highlighting one of six beloved Pokémon —Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Jigglypuff, Cubone or Mew. Inspired by the highly collectable nature of the Pokémon brand, Tiffany designers, created an oxidized sterling silver necklace with diamond accents featuring all six Pokémon. Playing on Pikachu’s iconic yellow color, two different size iterations of necklaces, one in small and the other in a larger pendant size, are available in 18K yellow gold with diamond accents. The oxidized sterling silver designs are packaged in a Tiffany & Arsham Studio & Pokémon Blue Box, while a Tiffany Blue® Poké Ball houses the gold Pikachu pendants.

Crafted from oxidized sterling silver, with exclusive styles in 18k yellow gold with diamonds, the necklace and pendants evoke the crystallized quality of Daniel Arsham’s Pokémon sculptures featured in his A Ripple in Time exhibition.

The Greatest Match Ever
