It’s been a quarter of a century since Ash Ketchum began his journey living out every kid’s dream—training to become a Pokémon Master. It’s also been 25 years since these cute characters called Pokémon started invading the pop culture consciousness, living rent-free in our collective minds, led of course by the ever-electric Pikachu.
To celebrate this milestone, TrueID launched the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl series, which follows Ash’s adventures across the Sinnoh region and also has the distinction of bringing Brock back from the OG series. This means that there’s more Pokémon to see alongside the currently streaming Pokémon Sun and Moon, which is set in the tropical Alola region. The digital lifestyle platform also teamed up with Pokémon for one epic promo that will make the fandom sing out loud like Jigglypuff.
By simply binge watching on TrueID, anime fans will get the chance to win a Nintendo Switch plus other exclusive Pokémon swag, including the upcoming remakes of Pokémon handheld video game classics Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl (release date: November 19).
