The Pokémon Company has revealed a new range of merch based on Pokémon Gold And Silver in celebration of Gen 2's 25th anniversary.
We're going to be honest, we're quite jealous. A lot of merch can look pretty grim and tacky, but the selection on offer here is really quite nice. You've got bomber jackets, heat-changing mugs, keyrings, stickers, chocolate, slide puzzles, pens, plushies, backpacks – all sorts! It's a neat way to commemorate such a momentous milestone for Gold and Silver. Well, outside of releasing the games on Nintendo Switch Online, that is. Grumble...
The range will become available via Pokémon Center stores in Japan from 23rd November 2025, with online outlets such as Amazon Japan no doubt offering international shipping if you're desperate to pick something up.
We're particularly enamoured with the trash can. It's based on the Vermillion Gym from Gold and Silver in which you search a bunch of trash cans to find two hidden switches. There's even some text at the bottom of the can that roughly translates to "Nope, there's only trash here". Delightful stuff.
Let's take a look at some of the goodies on offer:
Is there anything here that catches your fancy? Will you he heading to Japan anytime soon? Let us know with a comment down in the usual place.

That's the most recognition Gold and Silver will get.
Man am I jealous and particularly love the trash can with the "The trash can is empty." writing (literally "The inside is empty..." in Japanese), too!
Those jackets go soooooooo hard!
Wish lets go johto was real
TPC will literally do anything but re-release Gold+Silver for Switch.
@Beetlebum91 They won't be doing any more Let's Go games; they only did Let's Go PE because of the Pokémon GO app's release.
I'm afraid to admit how much I'm willing to spend for those Jackets and Plushies.
Boy I need that Raikou coffee mug
Ya, on the one hand, Japan gets all the cool stuff. But, at the same time, they can overly obsess on stuff and are collectors to a fault which always puzzles me given that most Japanese live in very small spaces compared to the west. I've stopped collecting a long time back because I just didn't want to deal with space and storage. But, some of this is really nice. LOL
Everything is awesome but that Lugia Plush. The silver just looks grey and makes it seem like old man Lugia.
Would also have loved a Slowpoke Tail reference.
You’re envious, not jealous - unless you’re worried the merch will replace you.
I'd buy most of this. It's really annoying the stuff I would actually buy as a longtime fan is only available in the Center in Japan. I don't want most of the stuff they have internationally, I like the retro stuff.
So Pokemon Gold/Silver NSO when???
Hope this merch also helps us get the Gold and Silver music on the Nintendo music app… I beg
I'd go for both of those plushes, the rest of it I can do without lol.
Possible the jacket could go up on Pokémon Center website
If only I could afford onevof those jackets. Especially the silver jacket, Pokekmon silver was my first gen 2 game.
Really? And you DON'T think it is just really ugly? Ok....
Going to Japan next week (Osaka). Oh boy, me and my partner are so getting these! Can't wait!
@Daggot I'd say everybody does that. I know way too many people with massive collections of something dumb like funko pops and they live in studios. The collection obsession with some things baffles me
Aw man, they didn't have anything half as cool as that when I went there.
Damn, 25 years? My brother still shares so many fond memories with me of when he first played them. Still to this day Crystal remains what I would personally say is his all time favorite game.
Hopefully might put some stuff on Pokémon centre UK site
Which generation has been unjustly forgotten?
I got excited as I am literally in Japan right now. And then I read it's next year.
That Ho-Oh plushie looks awesome! Heartgold was the first Pokemon game I played and I have always enjoyed his design.
Any news on when this might be put on Amazon JP?
I’d rather just play the game… on switch! But at least there’s still my DS one and the lovely little Pokewalker. 😁
Can't wait for the new gold & silver remakes they are clearly working on.
Yellow was my first Pokemon game; still beat the E4, and without realizing the significance, I pulled a Let's Go and swapped out my Pikachu for Jolteon.
But Crystal was my first beloved. The Pokemon, the music, the region... Johto really is the best era, and I dream of a proper Switch 2 reimagining that resembles Kyoto.
Man I will pay almost anything for that Houou jacket and shiny plushie. They are seriously MORONS for making this Japan-exclusive 🤬
Ugh, now I'm just fantasizing of a genuine reprinting of a Game Boy and Gold/Silver cartridges. I might have to hunt down some legitimate copies one of these days...
