In late September 2026, several Japanese brands announced limited-edition collaborations featuring the Pokémon franchise.

Starbucks Coffee Japan introduced a campaign titled “Connection Over The Coffee Adventures,” which includes a “Pikachu Honey Cream Latte” and 41 different merchandise items, such as reusable cups and stainless steel bottles. The collection features original artwork by illustrator Hikaru Ichijo.

Other brands joined the trend of Pokémon-themed releases. Kose Corp’s Softymo brand planned to launch special packaging for eight cleansing products on October 1, accompanied by a promotional campaign. Additionally, ONO Trading announced a sale on Brook Gaming devices specifically targeting Pokémon GO players.
