If you’re a fan of Tamagotchis and a Pokémon lover, get ready for this. 

Although Tamagotchi-inspired Pokémon devices have been around, a new and official collaboration between The Pokémon Company and Tamagotchi is on its way!

Set to be released in January 2019, the Pokémon Tamagotchi will allow owners to take care of their very own Eevee. Each Eevee has the potential to evolve into one of eight adorable creaturesL Espeon, Umbreon, Sylveon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Leafeon, and Glaceon.

Rumours of the Pokémon Tamagotchi first went around in early November, but the news was officially confirmed recently. Although this is the first time Pokémon and Tamagotchi have officially collaborated, it isn’t the first time The Pokémon Company has explored the possibility of a physical digital pet for players. 

Inspired by Tamagotchi’s great success, the Pocket Pikachu was released in 1998. Fans were allowed to carry a tiny Pikachu in their pockets. In 2010, the company release the PokéWalker - essentially a pedometer that displayed a tiny Pikachu.

The new Eevee Tamagotchi will be available early next year in Japan and will be available in a brown-and-pink hard shell. Each Tamagotchi will set you back approximately RM 503.70.
