The model, GA-110PKM-7AJR, is based on the GA-110 and uses the red, green, and blue colors from the 1996 Game Boy titles Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue on its hands, dial, and bezel. The band features 29 Pokémon: the three starter Pokémon from each generation plus Pikachu and Eevee, with Mew on the keeper for a total of 30. The sub-dial at 9 o'clock is a Poké Ball motif, and the hands are shaped like Pikachu's back. The case back is engraved with a 30th anniversary logo. A special Poké Ball-shaped package is included. The watch is priced at 33,000 yen (tax included). Pre-orders will be handled via a lottery on the CASIO Online Store, with applications accepted from July 1 at 10:00 AM to July 6 at noon. Sources disagree on the release date: three outlets report July 10, while two report July 17.
