This week's most-watched TDmonthly Short asked Pokémon fans to pick a starter trio: Kanto, Johto or Hoenn. Watch it, then see three ways to bring the starters home.
Re-Ment released "Pokémon Journey with You! Anniversary: The Dawn of Adventure" in Japan on Nov. 2 for Pokémon's 30th anniversary. Each scenic diorama holds one region's starter trio: Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle (Kanto); Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile (Johto); and Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip (Hoenn). In Japan each type is 2,090 yen including tax, per Re-Ment. Our Short, posted Nov. 4, 2026, passed 1,000 YouTube views, a first for our Shorts this month. For the launch details, read our Nov. 3 toy news roundup.
No. 1: Re-Ment Pokémon Journey with You! Anniversary (import)
Maker: Re-Ment · 1 box, about 3.9 x 5.5 x 2.4 in. (100 x 140 x 60 mm) · $54.22 on Amazon (in stock; checked Nov. 9, 2026; prices change)
The diorama line from our Short, listed on Amazon in the U.S. as an import. The Japanese price is 2,090 yen per type, so the Amazon price includes a big import markup.
Pros:
- The exact 30th-anniversary dioramas from the video
- Each base shows a full starter trio in one scene
- Compact enough for a desk or shelf
Cons:
- Import price, well above the Japanese retail price
- The listing says "1 Box" and doesn't say which of the three regions you get, so check with the seller before you buy
- Re-Ment hasn't announced a U.S. release or price
No. 2: Pokémon Kanto Region First Partner Plush 3-Pack
Maker: Jazwares (official Pokémon licensee) · Three 8-inch plush · $34.99 on Amazon (in stock; checked Nov. 9, 2026; prices change)
The Kanto trio from the Short, Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur, as soft 8-inch plush you can buy in the U.S. today.
Pros:
- All three Kanto starters in one box
- Works out to about $11.66 per plush at the checked price
- Officially licensed Pokémon product, per the listing
Cons:
- Kanto only, so Johto and Hoenn fans are out of luck
- Plush, not a display diorama like the Re-Ment set
No. 3: Pokémon Battle Figure 6 Pack
Maker: Jazwares (official Pokémon licensee) · Six 2-inch figures · $20.99 on Amazon (in stock; checked Nov. 9, 2026; prices change)
The budget pick: 2-inch Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, plus Pikachu, Mimikyu and Toxel.
Pros:
- Lowest price of the three, and it includes all three Kanto starters
- The listing says the figures fit Jazwares' Clip 'N' Go Poké Ball, Carry Case Playset and Surprise Attack Game
- Six figures for play or display
Cons:
- Small 2-inch figures with less detail than a diorama
- Three of the six aren't starters
