Pokemon Center Tokyo
So a few days ago on Twitter Pokemon came up, as it naturally does, and I realized I hadn't yet told you fine folks about my trip to the Pokemon Center in Osaka! It (re)opened in the new City Station department store last year and was ridiculously crowded. As my friend put it, listening to children scream bloody murder is the best kind of contraceptive. Anyway, pictures behind the cut! At the store I had to use my crappy phone camera, so I apologize for the abysmal quality of some of them!

ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Lego stores here in the States, sort of.
My BFF loves Legos so I have been to a few and I know what you mean!!
DeleteOh my goodness, this post is full of amazing! Thanks for sharing the photos! (And now I have Gene Wilder's voice stuck in my head singing "Come with me, and you'll be...in a world of pure Pokemon-ination~")
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! I have the song stuck in my head too >< I added a link to the Tokyo shop in case you hadn't seen it :)
DeleteAwesome pics, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go there :P
Thank you! Hopefully the pictures made you feel as if you sort of went there ^_^
DeleteThis is like nerd heaven. o:
ReplyDeleteI have a question, though; were the items here expensive? For instance, how many pounds/euros/dollars would a keychain amount to?
I don't have my receipt anymore, but all told I paid about 5000 yen, which I think is around 60 USD at the moment. That includes the big bag, little bag, plush, handkerchief, and keychain. I think the keychain was around 400 yen, maybe 5 USD? The sets of multiple chains were more of course :)
DeleteOh wow, not a lot at all. :)
DeleteWooo!
ReplyDeleteThis is all so cool. Oo, look, Ash hats for sale! Everything just has a 'perfect' feel about it. As though nothing is out of place, and it looks the part!
Really can't wait to visit myself, one-day.
Thanks for the post!
