Chocolate lovers, you've probably spotted the iconic "Mary's" brand at department stores across Japan, easily recognizable by its charming little girl silhouette. This beloved confectionery, Mary Chocolate, has been a Tokyo staple since 1950 and is even credited with popularizing the tradition of gifting chocolates on Valentine's Day in Japan.
Now, get ready for a dose of pure adorable! Mary's has just announced a sweet collaboration with Pokémon, dropping the limited-edition "Pokémon meets Mary Chocolate" collection for Valentine's Day 2026. These pixel-art themed treats are as cute as they are delicious. Mark your calendars: pre-orders kick off on the official online store starting December 23, 2025, with a nationwide rollout at select Japanese department stores beginning early January 2026.

The "Pokémon meets Mary Chocolate" line was an absolute smash hit when it launched last year, selling out fast! This series is all about that charming pixel-art Pokémon design, blending retro vibes with fresh appeal. The packaging looks like you're embarking on an adventure with your favorite Pokémon, and inside, each chocolate is meticulously crafted to reflect the unique characteristics of different Pokémon.
This year's collection features a total of eight different items. Each comes in unique packaging adorned with adorable pixel-art Pokémon, making the entire lineup seriously collectible.
