Pokemon Center: Tokyo

Last week I went to the Pokemon Center in Tokyo with my fellow Pokefan friend Shannon.

We got progressively more and more excited as we got closer and closer to our destination. The direction signs in the Hanamatsu-cho Station were our first glimpses of Pokemon goodness.

Posing with Pikachu

Next was the actual entrance to the Pokemon Center.

We made it!

And to top things off, the grand finale was Pikachu in the flesh (or costume) - jumbo size!

Better than Disneyland, imo

True to its name, the Pokemon Center played the in-game Pokemon Center theme song over and over again.

And, of course, the goods (for now...):

Sleeping Pikachu face towel, Doduo / Dodrio (my favorites!) mini charms

We also pre-ordered tickets to the new Pokemon movie coming out in July. Since we're in Japan and Japan always has super cool promotions, especially when it comes to Pokemon, we also get to choose between a special shiny in-game Entei, Raikou, or Suicune when we go to the theater.

Yeah Boy!

We also get to download a promotional Celebi when we go to the movie. Thanks Japan!
