Monopoly: Pokémon Kanto Edition is a special edition of the classic Monopoly game published and adapted for Pokémon by Hasbro. It is focused on the Kanto region. It is a remake of the 1999 edition, but based on Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokémon Origins, rather than Red and Blue and Pokémon the Series: The Beginning. It was released on September 15, 2014. An exclusive GameStop version including extra cards and tokens was later released in 2015.
