Tonies introduces Pokémon to the Toniebox
Starting 19th August, four exclusive Pokémon Tonies and a Pikachu-inspired Toniebox 2 in Lightning Yellow will be available on tonies.com. Tonies now offers children a completely new way to experience the world of Pokémon adventures. For the first time, children will be able to enjoy the stories of Pikachu and friends as a one-of-a-kind audio experience via the Toniebox and rediscover their beloved characters through their own imagination.
To help young listeners get off to a playful start with the stories about Pikachu and friends, a professor-narrator is there to guide them. He accompanies them through the adventures, answers their initial questions and familiarises them step-by-step with the unique characteristics of Pokémon. Along the way, children learn more about different Pokémon types, their abilities and the role of Poké Balls on their journey to becoming a Pokémon Trainer. The Trainer Academy is also a core part of this audio world. In a clear and age-appropriate way, the Trainer Academy teaches children about the relationships, rules and unique traits of Pokémon, opening up new perspectives on the characters they encounter during their audio adventure. The result is an auditory experience that combines entertaining storytelling with educational elements, sparking curiosity and a spirit of discovery.
The new Pokémon Tonies enrich Tonies’ audio-play universe with exclusive content developed jointly by Tonies and The Pokémon Company specifically for the Toniebox.
The Tonies x Pokémon partnership includes:
- Special Edition of the Toniebox 2 in Lightning Yellow: Coinciding with the launch, the Toniebox 2 will be available for the first time as a Special Edition in Lightning Yellow. In addition to the Lightning Yellow Toniebox 2, this exclusive starter set includes the Pikachu Tonie.
- Four New Pokémon Tonies: With Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, kids can now experience four popular Pokémon as Tonies for the first time. Each Tonie is dedicated to one of the popular Pokémon characters and allows children to learn more about its unique traits, abilities and characteristics. The Tonies are available individually and are compatible with the Toniebox and Toniebox 2.
The Lightning Yellow Special Edition of the Toniebox 2, featuring the Pikachu Tonie, as well as the four individual Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle Tonies, will be available online starting on August 19 and in stores starting on August 20. They can be pre‑ordered as of August 12.
