Pokemon Celebrates its 25th Anniversary with a Colorful Interactive Display

To celebrate 25 years of its wonderful, ever-expanding world that began as an 8-bit game, an interactive exhibition called “Pokemon Colors” will travel to various cities in Japan, starting with Tokyo.

Pokemon Colors will kick off at the Matsuya Ginza Department Store on July 22, and will include 4 interactive areas, an art workshop area, and an exclusive merchandise sales area. It will offer the public fun experiences like throwing pokemon balls to catch them, where everything will be colorful and bright like the pocket monsters from the series.

You can get an idea of ​​what you will find with the following images of the project.

The best way to travel within Japan is by train, very punctual and convenient, although it can be expensive. For an even better price, we recommend traveling with the Japan Railways universal pass called JR PASS , which you can purchase on their website. This pass is purchased before traveling to Japan , arriving at the airport or at any train station , you can pick up your pass with proof of purchase .
