Pokémon House

Released from August 11, 1999 onwards, these Pokémon House mini playsets were distributed and produced by Pokémon USA, Inc. for the English market.

Almost all Pokémon House toys were originally distributed under the banner of Pokémon mate by Tomy in Japan.

The smaller sets tended to contain two figures each and a bridge to connect the sets with each other, whilst the Deluxe sets included 4-8 figures.

The included figures took into account popular Pokémon with fans of the anime series and games, such as those owned by the anime's main protagonists like Pikachu or Squirtle.

The Pokémon Deluxe Micro Playsets were released in 2009 and share many product design features with the Pokémon House and Mate, though lack the same connectivity as these sets.
