Calling all Pokémon fans! The brand is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a limited-time Target collaboration — and the highly-anticipated lineup just dropped online. There are more than 100 items across apparel, accessories, home and grocery, with even more exclusive items landing on June 6, according to a press release.
To help bring the collection to life, Target tapped Pokémon superfans and creators, with Joe Jonas leading the campaign. Shoppers will find plenty of '90s nostalgia, including brand collaborations with Lip Smacker and Mead (maker of Trapper Keeper), as well as graphic tees and oversized track jackets — all of which feature nods to the Pokémon universe.
Each piece takes millennials back to their school-age days, and might just introduce new kids and teens to the fandom. With nearly half the collection under $20 and prices starting under $4, Pokémon lovers of all ages can get involved.

This unisex tee is for the Gengar fans — it features a Poké Ball icon on the front and a custom Gengar graphic on the back. Made from 100% cotton and designed in an oversized fit, it will easily pair with any of your favorite jeans or summer shorts. Plus, it's available in sizes XS through 5X.
This nylon Starter jacket goes all in on the vintage vibes. The front flap pocket features “Kanto Region” text, while the inside of the flap has under-the-radar embroidered badges that true fans will love.
Have summer travel plans? Consider this crossbody bag, which allows you to go hands-free while you’re on the (Pokémon) go. All of the small zip pockets are perfect for cards, keys, lip balms and other tiny essentials. Plus, the strap is adjustable so you can customize your fit with ease.
Water is the most common Pokémon type — and with the purchase of one of these mystery bottles, you’ll open one of eight Water type options. Each bottle comes in a sealed box so you won’t know which Pokémon you get until you open it, making it a fun gift for yourself or others.
