Happy Pokémon Day 30th Anniversary…So They Sent Me THIS 👀 (Unboxing)

Pokémon is officially turning 30 years old, and it’s honestly wild to think about how big this franchise has become over the decades. From playing Pokémon Blue on a Game Boy Color as a kid to now opening special anniversary packages on the channel… this one was a full nostalgia moment.

To celebrate the anniversary, Pokémon sent over a massive mystery box packed with merch, collectibles, and even some TCG products — including Mega Evolutions packs that we open in this video. We also talk about Pokémon Presents, the upcoming celebrations, and what I’m most excited about as a lifelong fan.
