The Pokémon media franchise is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year. On this occasion, new visual greetings specifically for the anime adaptation have been released.
A piece of artwork created especially for the celebrations features central characters from the current series storyline. The illustration is by Rei Yamazaki, who works as a character designer for the animated series. At the center of the image is Captain Pikachu, surrounded by the protagonists Liko and Roy, along with a selection of other Pokémon companions.
Accompanying the drawing, a short animated clip was also produced and released as part of the anniversary activities. Simultaneously, a variant of the official 30-year logo, specially designed for the anime series, was presented.
The timing of these releases coincides with a story arc in the ongoing season. The 129th episode of the current Pokémon anime series deals with a confrontation involving the character Roy and the legendary Pokémon Rayquaza.
