Japanese toy manufacturer RE-MENT has announced an upcoming line of figures centering on the foundational first partner Pokémon from the franchise's early generations. The "Hajimari no Bōken Pokémon Journey with You! Anniversary" blind box collection pays homage to the initial choices players have faced since the series debuted in 1996 with Pokémon Red and Green.
Choosing between a Grass, Fire, or Water-type companion is a core experience shared by trainers throughout the video games and animated series. This specific release shifts the spotlight back to the first decade of the franchise, gathering the starters from the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn regions—representing the eras of Pokémon Red/Green, Gold/Silver, and Ruby/Sapphire.
Classic Starter Partners
These three dioramas are designed to sit alongside six additional regional scenes from the concurrently announced "A New Journey Begins" and "The Road to Tomorrow" collections. Together, they allow trainers to form a complete timeline of regional starter partners.
This is so hilarious! I am glad I’ve found my childhood loved character Mashimaro. I put it on my office desk and it attracts so many people saying that is sooooo cute!
