Pokémon Kids (Japanese: ポケモンキッズ Pokémon Kids) is a figure series available in Japan that began in October 1996 and is still released to this day. Pokémon Kids are small PVC finger puppet figures made by Bandai, with the main series consisting of 1.5"-2"/4-5cm figurines. Until BW-on most series had special clear plastic variants as secret figures. Other releases include Attack Series poses, Pokémon Daisuki Club shiny variants, and deluxe large sized versions. Each figure comes with a ramune flavored candy tablet and a sticker with Pokédex data.
During Generation IV, some of these figures were released in special packs in Europe and Australia, with no change to the figures themselves outside of the different packaging.
Main Series
Starting in 1996 the Pokémon Kids figures began as blind packaged figures, with a feature or focal Pokémon on the box of most releases as the main attraction for that specific release. It's a trend that carried through well into April 2005. From that point onward Pokémon Kids were no longer blind packaged. This meant that, for example, if someone wanted to purchase a Pikachu Kids figure the box would easily show that Pikachu was inside. The series saw another packaging redesign with the Diamond & Pearl series debut in 2006, where the boxes would often be color coded to the elemental type of the Pokémon inside along with having an image of them on the box front, which set a series trend for Best Wishes in 2010 and the current XY series in 2013.
