Pokémon's numerous regions have all proven to be huge hits with fans, with several of them becoming fan favorites that have appeared more than once. However, beyond Pokémon Gold and Silver (and their subsequent remakes), no Pokémon game has delivered multiple regions at the same time. It is a huge shame, especially as not only does it deliver twice as much value to the consumer, but it also naturally allows for Pokémon from across several games to appear at once, rather than Game Freak shoehorning them all in to fulfill a Pokédex quota.

While we're yet to get a Pokémon game that combines Kanto and Hoenn or any number of other regions, we are getting a brand-new multi-region release that is sure to appeal to fans who want every single generation and their respective landmasses to get the attention they deserve. This new 30th anniversary project is scheduled to be released later this month, meaning that fans won't have to wait long until they can get their hands on it.

As part of the seemingly unending Pokémon 30th anniversary celebrations, The Pokémon Company has collaborated with yet another company to release a piece of merchandise. However, unlike a lot of the far less interesting crossovers (anyone remember the weird Pokémon Winds & Waves plane collaboration), this is a genuinely interesting offering that will likely appeal to fans. That's because Japanese toy manufacturer Takara Tomy has produced a massive set of Pokémon figures from across all nine generations.

Each generation (and thus region) gets its own bespoke set, with Kanto getting an Evolution set featuring the final evolutionary forms of the three main starter Pokémon, while the remaining eight get Legendary sets, featuring figures of their respective box cover legendaries. It is a truly staggering collection, but one that will cost you quite a lot if you choose to collect them all. Here is a list of every set and the Pokémon you get in each one:

  • Kanto Set: Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise
  • Johto Set: Lugia and Ho-Oh
  • Hoenn Set: Kyogre and Groudon
  • Sinnoh Set: Dialga and Palkia
  • Unova Set: Reshiram and Zekrom
  • Kalos Set: Xerneas and Yveltal
  • Alola Set: Solgaleo and Lunala
  • Galar Set: Zacian and Zamazenta
  • Paldea Set: Koraidon and Miraidon

The special Kanto Evolution set costs a little less than the Legendary sets at just 2,145 yen, which equates to roughly $14.50. The Legendary sets will cost you 3,520 yen (or around $24) each, meaning you'll need to spend several hundred dollars in order to complete the collection. Alternatively, if you're not interested in collecting every region's legendaries (or starters in Kanto's case), then you can just buy the ones you prefer, as the sets are sold separately.

This collection of figures is part of the Moncolle range, which is often a lot smaller than Takara Tomy's typical line of toys. The Legendary Pokémon figures are a tad taller than the majority of Moncolle figures on account of their in-game size, but generally these multi-region figures range from 7cm to 14cm.

The full collection is being released on October 24, 2026, and you can see it via the official Takara Tomy website. While it isn't quite a full-blown multi-region Pokémon game, it is great to get updated and high-quality figures of these Pokémon, especially in a set designed to celebrate each of the aforementioned regions. Hopefully, Game Freak decides to create more multi-region games in the future, but until then, these Pokémon figures will have to do.
