The excitement traces back to a joint celebration of the Red and Green games’ 30th anniversary, prompting Fender Japan to release two models that echo the original games’ sound. Forbes disclosed the price, while Guitar Player and IGN reported the partnership’s timing and purpose.

Fender Japan’s release notes a lottery‑only distribution, a detail highlighted by Guitar World, and Pokémon.com confirmed the collaboration with the Pokémon Center brand. The guitars blend classic electric‑instrument design with retro game audio, but their scarcity leaves fans wondering whether the limited run will spark a broader wave of gaming‑themed musical gear.
