TOMY Co will launch the Pokemon Z-Ring (2,600 yen, excluding tax), a reproduction of the bracelet worn by the lead character in the Nintendo 3DS video game titles "Pokemon Sun" and "Pokemon Moon" (to be released by The Pokemon Company), the latest titles in the Pokemon series. *1 The toy will be simultaneously launched in Japan, North America and Australia on November 18, 2016 to coincide with the release of the video game. It will then be launched in phases in at least 20 countries and regions worldwide including Europe.
The Pokemon Z-Ring can be synchronized with Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon to enhance the play experience. When the player uses the Z-MOVE in the Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon game, the Pokemon Z-RING worn on the player’s wrist simultaneously reacts to the sounds emitted by the Nintendo 3DS and game to produce sounds, lights, and vibrations that differ depending on what type of Z-CRYSTAL is selected. This enables the players to feel as though they are actually there performing a powerful Z-MOVE. The Pokemon Z-RING is the first video game-synchronized toy that TOMY has produced over its 19 years of creating Pokemon toy merchandise since 1997.
*1 Pokemon is content born from software for Nintendo Game Boy launched in 1996.
