Casio announced a G-Shock collaboration watch for Pokemon's 30th anniversary. The GA-110PKM-7AJR features 30 Pokemon on the band, Pikachu and Poké Ball motifs on the dial, and a Poké Ball-shaped box. It costs 33,000 yen and releases July 17, with pre-orders starting July 1. Fans are excited but worried about scalpers and lottery availability.
The base model is the GA-110, with hands and bezel in three shades drawn from the 1996 releases 'Pokemon Red and Green' and 'Blue.' The band carries 29 Pokemon including the original three starters, and the loop adds Mew for a total of 30. The dial includes Poké Ball and Pikachu motifs, and the case back is engraved with a special 30th anniversary logo. The packaging is a Poké Ball-shaped special edition.
Fans responded with comments like 'Gen 1 is cheating' and 'I want the box,' but also voiced concern: 'It'll be a battle between collectors and scalpers.' A lottery reservation sale is planned on the CASIO online store.
