"Pikachu, I choose you" - many this phrase is familiar from childhood. In the period of the frenzied popularity of the cartoon about the Pokemon about these little funny animals almost everyone knew. The main characters of the game tried to imitate, even there were board games on this topic. With the release into the world of the Pokemon GO application, everything seemed to return 10 years ago. Only now the younger generation is running around with phones, trying to catch a digital animal. Such a worldwide popularity of the cartoon did not pass Japan . The result was the founding of the Pokemon Center in Tokyo .
The dream of the "Pokemon trainer"
Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo is a huge trading platform that embodies dreams. Although it sounds a little pathetic, but most visitors leave the store with an expression of joy and absolute happiness on the face. It is located in the shopping center Sunshine City Alpa, in the Ikebukuro district.
On the shelves of the store exhibited a variety of goods, which unites only one thing - involvement in the cartoon about Pokemon. There is a huge department with plush toys, where you can buy yourself a soft friend in the form of Chermander, Bulbazavr and even Sloupuk. Almost from all the shelves the yellow color of Pikachu flashes - an obvious favorite among fans of amusing beasts.
In the store you can buy school and office supplies, sticks and cutlery, playing and collectible cards, figurines, toys, licensed CDs with cartoons, electronic games, clothes and even food with the symbols of a famous anime. In the design of the Pokemon Center every now and again there are bizarre figures of cartoon characters in full growth.
