Pokémon Cafes and Centers celebrate the Pokémon that most resembles Japan’s representative cuisine.
Pokémon Cafe
The world’s first permanent Pokémon Cafe is feeling the blow of Japan’s international travel restrictions.
While there may not be a lot of partying around this festive season, this awesome Pikachu cake is definitely an electrifyingly cute way to celebrate Christmas!
We’ve been waiting for the new cafe-themed Pokémon mobile game to be featured in the real-life Pokémon Cafes!
If you don’t know how to evolve one of the most popular Pokémon species, you might not get the food you want.
The first-ever live-action Pokémon movie is getting a special salute from Tokyo’s permanent Poké-eatery.
Plus, can’t decide between Pikachu and Eevee? Adorable combo plate means you don’t have to.
Shadowy ghost and poison-types get their moment in the sun, and of course there’s a new Pikachu item too!
