Play Pokemon Snap in Real Life with Polaroids

Get ready to snap, because Polaroid is inviting fans of the Pokémon universe to explore a whole new dimension of nostalgia with a unique camera collaboration. Polaroid has dropped a collection of cameras designed to look like their favorite monsters and iconic items, creating a mashup that is sure to capture the imagination of collectors and photographers alike.

This exciting line features three distinct models, each inspired by the Pokémon mega-franchise. You can choose between a charming Pikachu design, a graceful Sylveon version, or a classic camera design inspired by the iconic Poké Ball colorscheme. What makes this line truly special is that it’s not just a color change; Polaroid has modified two separate designs to give them a Pokémon makeover, all while keeping the essential Polaroid feel.

The smaller Polaroid Go Generation 3 cameras receive the themed makeover, featuring designs based on Pikachu and Sylveon. These smaller models come equipped with themed straps—one featuring a charm modeled after Pikachu’s tail, and another showcasing the signature colors of Sylveon in a wavy pattern.

Meanwhile, the classic Polaroid Now Instant Camera Generation 3 gets the treatment, redesigned to look like the iconic Poké Ball. Despite the varied exterior designs, all cameras share a unifying feature: the shutter button is cleverly modelled after the familiar Poké Ball, tying the entire collection together with a familiar, fun touch.

The photographic experience is enhanced by themed film. Each camera comes with i-Type film frames based on instantly recognizable pocket monsters, ranging from Charmander to Bulbasaur. These films are further enhanced with darkslides featuring custom Pokémon silhouettes, ensuring every photo tells a story.

For those looking to expand their collection, Polaroid is also releasing a host of accessories that echo the Pokémon theme. Fans can grab themed Go Camera Cases, classic Photo Albums, and universal Camera Straps, all based on the familiar Poké Ball motif. They can also mix and match with existing cameras and add custom film options.

The full range of options includes the Polaroid Now Gen 3 (Poké Ball Edition) for $139.99, and the two limited-edition Polaroid Go Gen 3 (Pikachu & Sylveon Editions) for $99.99 each. Special edition film and add-ons, such as custom-themed i-Type Film and Polaroid Go Double Packs, are also available to complete the adventure.

These highly anticipated collectibles will go on pre-order on August 25 ahead of the full release on October 5. It’s time to bring the magic of Pokémon into your photography, where nostalgia meets innovation.
