Last year, approximately 1,000 Pikachu descended upon Yokohama as they danced and paraded throughout the city.
They will also end the event with a huge bang, as the Minato Mirai shopping area will host a huge party.
However, this year may have even more, as the organizers revealed that they are planning to bring 1,500 Pikachu into the city! This year’s event is officially titled “Pikachu Dake janai Pikachu Tairyou Hassei-chuu!”, which means “Not Only Pikachu, but a Lot of Pikachu-chu!”.
Yokohama better brace itself, because the Pikachu are coming back!
