The Hershey's Kisses Pokémon has been announced by the chocolate brand as a new collaboration with the collecting-themed anime franchise to encourage fans to try their best to collect them all. The collaboration consists of Hershey's signature Kisses chocolate drops that are wrapped in a special edition foil that includes 151 unique variations as a nod to the original Kanto region Pokémon characters from the franchise. The collaboration encourages consumers to find, trade and collect all their favorite characters.
The Hershey's Kisses Pokémon collection is limited-edition and has been announced alongside a collector's case for fans to pick up as a means of displaying their collection at no cost, while supplies last.
Senior Associate Brand Manager Ashley Reeb spoke on the Hershey's Kisses Pokémon partnership saying, "Our collaboration with Pokémon combines the timeless appeal of Hershey’s Kisses chocolates with the joy of discovery and collecting—making it more than just a treat. The special-edition foils may spark a little friendly competition but also unite fans around their love for milk chocolate and Pokémon.”
