Pokemon Legend Research Event Brings Statues and a Special Shop to Nihonbashi and Yaesu
The special shop gives buyers a rare chance to inspect the Package T-shirt in Pouch series in person before purchase, a step normally impossible since those items sell through Pokemon Center Online.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
Meet Legendary Pokemon: Legend Research in Nihonbashi and Yaesu runs September 9 to November 29, placing 19 Pokemon statues, including legendary Pokemon, across Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower and Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, with more than 100 Pokemon total around the buildings. A paid puzzle event runs alongside. The special shop on Tokyo Midtown Yaesu's fifth floor sells package-design T-shirts normally found only on Pokemon Center Online.
The opening event took place on September 8, a day before the statues went up. The special shop sits on the fifth floor of Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, and its shelves carry T-shirts printed with past game package art, items that normally move through Pokemon Center Online, plus goods tied to the paid puzzle Pokemon Legend Research: Awaken the Legendary Research Report!
The Package T-shirt in Pouch series is the draw. Buyers usually order it sight unseen from the online store; the shop lets them check the actual shirts before paying, a rare chance to see the goods in person.
The statues spread across Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower and Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, 19 of them featuring legendary Pokemon, with more than 100 Pokemon placed inside and outside the buildings. The event runs through November 29.
