If you’re a Pokémon fan and are using Samsung devices, we have good news for you. The Korean firm has released Pokémon-themed limited-edition accessories for some of its recent products. There’s a ring case for the Galaxy Z Flip 4, a wrist strap for the Galaxy Watch 4/5, and a Poké Ball-shaped storage case for the Galaxy Buds Live, Galaxy Buds 2, Galaxy Buds Pro, and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
These aren’t entirely new Pokémon-themed accessories that Samsung has made. The company originally released these in November last year in select markets, such as Singapore. They were made available in the US around Christmas. But unsurprisingly, the stock barely lasted 24 hours, leaving many Pokémon fans disappointed. Now, just in time for Pokémon Day on Monday, February 27, the Korean firm has re-stocked all three accessories in the US.
As of this writing, Samsung is only taking orders for the Galaxy Z Flip 4 Pokémon cover. Priced at $49.99, the case features the iconic game character and the Poké Ball and comes with a ring holder. The watch band and Galaxy Buds case also get similar aesthetic treatment and are priced at $39.99. The company isn’t taking orders for those yet, though. But if you’re interested in them, you might want to regularly check Samsung’s online store here. We believe the stock is limited and may deplete very quickly.
Samsung released Pokémon-themed devices and accessories in the past as well. Last year, the company sold a highly customized Galaxy Z Flip 3 with Pokémon all over it in its home country South Korea. It also sold a special edition Galaxy Buds 2 with the same Poké Ball case that it is now selling. Considering the high demand, it may release more such Pokémon-themed products in the future.
Nintendo is also gearing up for Pokémon Day
For the uninitiated, fans observe February 27 as Pokémon Day globally because this is the day when the iconic video game debuted in Japan in 1996. Nintendo, one of the parent organizations of Pokémon, usually joins the celebration by making new announcements. And it’s no different this year. The company is hosting a special Pokémon Presents event on February 27. Fans are expecting it to announce new updates for the game. We may get some DLC for recent Pokémon games Scarlet and Violet. It may also have some surprises up its sleeves. The event kicks off at 6 am PT/9 am ET/2 pm GMT on Monday, February 27. You can watch it live on the official Pokémon YouTube channel.
