Celebrating one year of Pokemon Center DX.
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of Pokemon Center DX in Japan, The Pokemon Company has revealed a new line of celebratory Pikachu plush toys.
Headlining the set is a Pikachu with a lovely cherry blossom-filled afro, as well as Pikachu in a ninja outfit, kabuki makeup, and wrestler outfit.
The set celebrates the March 14, 2018 opening of Pokemon Center DX in Tokyo, which is also home to the Pokemon Cafe that we visited last year. The Pokemon Cafe will also have a special promotion similarly featuring Sakura Afro Pikachu.
Visitors to the Pokemon Center DX and Pokemon Cafe will also receive a Sakura Afro Pikachu visor starting on March 14. The promotion will run until April 26. Tables at the Pokemon Cafe are available by reservation only, though a standby line is also an option if you have time to wait.
For more, read about when we ate lunch at the Pokemon Cafe, including photos of the full menu we sampled.
