SoraNews24 heads to the Tokyo-area bayside oasis to spend warm summer nights chasing, and finding, Pokémon!
Pikachu Outbreak
All shows to be held at night, so you can enjoy the Pokémon fun without the scorch of the sun.
Visitors to the site of the Pikachu Outbreak get a special hello from the Pokémon star himself!
The Pokémon will be staying up late this year so you can bask in their adorableness while staying out of the scorching sun.
With human faces staring out of their mouths, overly long legs, and dead eyes, these Pikachus aren’t exactly cute.
In previous years, the famous and adorable Pokémon went to sleep when the sun went down, but this time they’re staying up late to party!
Eevees appears en masse at the annual Pikachu Outbreak in Yokohama to grab their share of the Pokémon spotlight.
Because the only thing better than seeing 1,500-plus Pikachus is seeing a squad of Eevees at the same time.
Special after-dark Pokémon parade means fans will want to stick around all day to see the 1,500-plus Pikachus.
The sheer number of people undoubtedly brought a lot of revenue to the area, but the chaos from hosting such a large crowd also took its toll on area residents and police.
Sprint wants to send you and three of your friends to Yokohama for the Pikachu Outbreak Festival in August!
Fans are keeping their fingers crossed about this summer’s “Not Just Pikachu Pikachu Outbreak” event.
A few weeks ago, the handlers of the Pokémon franchise announced the Pikachu Tairyou Hassei Chu, or “An Outbreak of Pikachus” event. First they brightened our day with a TV ad showing the adorable Pocket Monsters hanging out in a shopping mall. Then they teased us with a photo of the electrified rodents landing on the dock.
And now, they’re here!
We grabbed our cameras and went Pikachu hunting in Yokohama, and we were not disappointed. We were, though, almost completely paralyzed by the awesome overdose of cuteness that comes from a parade of a pack of 20 Pikachus.
