Pokémon celebrates 30th Anniversary With Yearlong ‘What’s Your Favourite?’ Campaign

by Rainier on Feb. 9, 2026 @ 1:50 a.m. PST

The Pokémon Company International unveiled a massive yearlong campaign — titled “What’s Your Favourite?” — celebrating 30 years of the iconic Pokémon brand by calling on fans around the world to share their favourite Pokémon.

As seen in the Super Bowl spot, The Pokémon Company International enlisted support from fellow fans of Pokémon — including Lady Gaga, Trevor Noah, Charles Leclerc, Jisoo, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Lamine Yamal and Young Miko — each championing their favourite Pokémon while showcasing the diversity of the global Pokémon community and the brand’s enduring impact on pop culture and entertainment.

“The ‘What’s Your Favourite?’ campaign embodies Pokémon’s overarching mission of bringing people together through a shared love of Pokémon. Since the franchise debuted 30 years ago, Trainers have often asked each other, ‘What’s Your Favourite?’ — it’s a question that sparks passionate discussion and reminds fans that no matter who they are, there is a Pokémon for them,” said Kenji Okubo, president at The Pokémon Company International. “As we gear up for a year packed full of fan-focused celebrations, we thank Trainers around the world for being part of our diverse, global and multigenerational community, and we can’t wait to surprise and delight them with more offerings and experiences in the coming months.”

“What’s Your Favourite?” Fan Photo Creations

Starting today, fans worldwide can join the “What’s Your Favourite?” festivities by sharing their own favourite Pokémon with a new camera feature through the mobile game sensation Pokémon GO, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.[1]

Fans can choose their favourite Pokémon to feature in their photos and follow #Pokemon30 online to see fellow Trainers’ favourites. More information on the “What’s Your Favourite?” snapshot feature can be found at Pokemon.com/30.

Global Day Out and Night Out Events

As part of the “What’s Your Favourite?” campaign, Trainers will be able to enjoy various fan-focused experiences that encourage the larger community to come together in real life.

Throughout the year, The Pokémon Company International will host various events, including “Day Out” and “Night Out” experiences specially designed to give fans of all ages the ability to connect with fellow Trainers in interactive and immersive ways. Day Out events will feature family-friendly activities and programming, and Night Out events will have fun surprises in store for longtime fans who grew up with Pokémon. More details on both Day Out and Night Out will be announced in the future.
