JapanLA’s wildly successful pop-up shop from last year, the Pokémon Boutique, is making a returning for a second appearance! Last year, this awesome (and free) event offered free Pocky, appearances by Junichi Masuda himself, special Pokémon fashion merchandise for sale, and much more! I was able to see many great cosplayers as well–and meet more Pokemaniacs!
Details can be found on JapanLA’s Instagram and Facebook page, and it consists of the following activities:
-New @JapanLAClothing Pokémon Collaboration release!
-Pokémon Pop Up Shop inside JapanLA!
-Free Exclusive Pokémon Tote Bag with purchases over $30! (while supplies last)
-Free Pokémon Photobooth!
-Pokémon Trivia and Prizes! (while supplies last)
-@RidgesChurroBar Food Truck! Yum!
-Free to attend! All Ages!
Attendees are also encouraged to arrive dressed up in their favorite Pokémon cosplay or inspired fashion. The last time I went to the event, there was an after-party as well (at a nearby venue), so be prepared for anything!
It is also worth noting that this event lands on Pokémon Day–February 27, and it sounds like a great way to celebrate! I certainly will be going! Are you in SoCal and attending this event? Did you enjoy the last event? Please let us know in the comments!
