Apple launches Pokémon 30th anniversary limited-edition gift card: 3 exclusive wallpapers available, on sale in Japan on November 16

IT之家 November 14 news: Apple yesterday announced the launch of a Pokémon 30th anniversary limited-edition Apple Gift Card, which will be sold in limited quantities at 11 Apple Store retail locations across Japan from November 16 to November 30.

This campaign is a special project launched through a collaboration between Apple and Pokémon, and the gift card features the Apple-themed Pokémon "Applin."

According to Apple's official introduction, this gift card is called the Apple Gift Card Pokémon Special Edition, and the card face bears an image of Applin.

Users can set the recharge amount themselves at the time of purchase, ranging from 1,000 yen to 250,000 yen (IT之家 note: at current exchange rates, approximately 41.8 yuan to 10,452 yuan), with a maximum of 3 cards per person. Because it is a limited-edition release, sales may end early once stock sells out.

In addition to being used to redeem Apple Account balance, the QR code on the back of the gift card also offers a special benefit. After scanning the QR code, users can download 3 original Pokémon-themed wallpapers, with designs including an Applin pattern, an Applin-themed illustration, and an illustration featuring Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and other Pokémon together. These wallpapers were specially drawn by Pokémon designers, and versions compatible with iPhone Duo are also provided.

This collaboration also involves "Pokémon GO." From November 16 to November 30, all 11 Apple Store locations in Japan will appear as PokéStops in the game. During each store's business hours (10:00 to 21:00), the corresponding PokéStop will continuously have a Mossy Lure Module active, and players who tap the apples appearing nearby will also have a chance to encounter Applin.

The stores covered by this campaign include Apple Ginza, Marunouchi, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Omotesando, Kawasaki, Nagoya Sakae, Kyoto, Shinsaibashi, Osaka, and Fukuoka.
