Monopoly: Pokemon Johto Edition incoming
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
Monopoly: Pokemon Kanto Edition came out a couple of years ago. Now USAopoly is working on another Pokemon set, this time for Johto.
You’ll find the following inside:
In this special Pokémon Johto Edition of Monopoly, players will travel through all eight Gyms and battle Gym leader Pokémon. Trainer Battle and Professor Elm cards might reward you for Pokémon encounters, or bring an unexpected surprise as players join Pikachu and friends on an adventure through the Johto region.
Monopoly: Pokemon Johto Edition contains six collectible tokens comprised of Totodile, Togepi, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Pichu and Pikachu. It also features a custom designed game board based on the Johto region, renames for Hotels, the Community Chest, and Chance Cards (to PokeMarts, Pokemon Centers, and Chance Cards respectively), plus custom themed Monopoly money.
Here are some photos:
When Pokemon Monopoly: Johto Edition is actually releasing is a bit unclear. BigBadToyStore estimates that it’s coming in August. It seems to be in stock on Amazon at the moment, but only from third-party sellers. It should be made available at more retailers soon in any case.

USAopoly has been dealing with Nintendo-licensed products for awhile, and now you can add another one to the list. A new Monopoly set based on Super Mario Bros. is in the works, and it’ll even be a collector’s edition.
The set has six 8-bit styled tokens featuring Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Super Mushroom and 1-up Mushroom. There’s also a custom designed 8-bit styled board along with custom goal poles and castles (instead of houses and hotels) plus the “? Block” and Warp Pipe in place of the Community Chest and Chance Cards.
USAopoly lists Monopoly: Super Mario Bros. Collector’s Edition as “coming soon”. There are some claims that it’s already available, though it doesn’t seem to be in stock in places like Amazon. Regardless, look for it soon.
