Everyone should enjoy nature through Pokémon!

Everyone from children to adults should experience the joy of communing with nature through Pokémon. Make your way through the grass and trees and work together with your family and friends to search for Pokémon. Immerse yourselves in the vastness of nature and develop a "sense of wonder", which is a sensitivity to the mysteries and wonders of nature. It is with this in mind that Pokémon WONDER was born.

Pokémon that harmonize with nature

No CG, no animation, no plush toys. With the concept of harmony with "nature," from plants to sunlight, the Pokémon are expressed in a variety of unprecedented ways.
