So, I was walking around the mall the other day, and what did I happen to come across? Well, I'll let you see for yourself:

Now, I have no idea why, but before I got here I totally didn't put 2 and 2 together and figure there'd be a giant Pokemon store. Anyway, they have all kinds of stuff in there...stuffed Pokemon, key chains, cell phone charms, and I could go on and on. What struck me as being pretty cool was the "Pokemon Center." I didn't manage to grab a good shot of it, but basically, they had some wifi in that room, and you could hang out with your friends and battle or do whatever. It was pretty neat. There were some screens in there and they had the anime on, and some info on upcoming events, etc.
I was hoping they'd have some sort of Japanese Pokemon give away so I could snag myself a super awesome one, but no luck :( Guess I'll just have to stick to getting them the hard way! Lots of posters and such for black/white which comes out in August or September, and they already have some merchandise ready. I'll try and get some more shots soon. Just something interesting I thought I'd share from Japan. I'm here until Saturday, then I head back home!
