Pokémon Is Looking for a Web 3.0 Expert
A job offer from the company behind the global Pokémon phenomenon is looking for a person with knowledge of Web 3.0 for a senior position.
Pokémon is likely looking to join the fast-growing Web 3.0 space, as indicated by a recent job posting in which they are looking for someone with a strong understanding of the technology to fill the position of Director of Corporate Development. The selected candidate would be expected to advise the company's management in the area of exploring new technologies and innovation.
The candidate should have knowledge in both NFTs and the metaverse, as well as blockchain technology. The offer also states that they are looking for candidates who are "Deeply connected to a network of investors and entrepreneurs in the above technology sectors (Web 3.0 and Metaverse)."
It's not yet clear whether Pokémon plans to come up with its own digital NFT collection, or even its own metaverse world, but what is clear is that the ideal candidate will be expected to help push new innovation in the company.
The Web 3.0 specialist will help in the development of new technologies at Pokémon
As for other job specifications, the candidate who is selected may, for example, develop an internal "innovation challenge," and will be tasked with seeking new partnerships with external companies that focus on new technologies.
Pokémon was founded in 1996 in Japan and has since become one of the largest entertainment franchises in the world. In addition to the television series, which has over a thousand episodes and several feature films, the company has a large number of games both on consoles and mobile phones as well as card and board games, and millions of fans around the world collect Pokémon-themed toys and clothing.
Thanks to a partnership with Nintendo, Pokémon console games are being sold all over the world. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa remarked last February that he sees huge potential in the metaverse. While there are no further details from Nintendo's side regarding its involvement in the Web 3.0 space, it's possible that this may soon change, thanks to Pokémon.

analyst opinion
„Being a huge Pokémon fan since I was a kid, I was very happy to hear this news. The selection process is sure to take some time, so I don't think we'll see any announcement of an upcoming NFT collection or launch of a metaverse game this year. Pokémon already has a mobile app, Pokémon Sleep, scheduled for release this summer. Either way, I personally see Pokémon's huge potential in blockchain technology and look forward to seeing what they come up with.“
