Pokemon x Tamagotchi Collaboration Coming Soon

A Japanese message board has dropped not-so-subtle hints that a Pokemon x Tamagotchi collaboration in coming our way soon. For this generation, the former certainly is an attention grabber. The latter, perhaps not so much. Yet children of the 90s will be rejoicing like it’s Christmas morning.

Indeed, Pokemon was big way before the days of Pokemon Go. And back in the day, having a Tamagotchi was the cool thing. I bet some of you remember obsessing about your electronic pet.

Now, imagine having a Pokemon in that little egg of a toy.

That’s what we’re getting with the Pokemon x Tamagotchi collaboration.

Admittedly, the leak is not official and has not been confirmed. As it says on the message board:

A leaked image from Japanese imageboards and Twitter have showcased a collaboration between Pokémon and the Virtual Pet game, Tamagotchi. At some point in the near future, a special Eevee Tamagotchi will be released. This comes in the form of the Tamagotchi Nano and allows for you to raise an Eevee and, based on your care, it will evolve into one of its eight evolutions. You can also get various different Eevee including one in a Team Rocket outfit and even a Ditto Eevee. There are two different shells for the Eevee Tamagotchi. One brown and standard Eevee one and one “Colourful Friends” version which includes images of the evolutions. This continues on from the Pocket Pikachu virtual pets of the early 2000s and the Pokémon mini title Pokémon Breeder Mini in providing a Pokémon Virtual Pet

Still, we know how leaks go. Chances are we’re going to see something along these lines in the near future.
