For the last three summers, the city of Yokohama, Japan’s second-largest city, has played host to the biggest Pokémon celebration in the world: the Pikachu Outbreak.
Fans are keeping their fingers crossed about this summer’s “Not Just Pikachu Pikachu Outbreak” event.
The August 14 parade has a Brazilian carnival theme, but the thing that’s really got fans talking is the official name of this year’s event: Pikachu Dake Ja Nai Pikachu Tairyo Hasseichu.
That translates to “The Not Just Pikachu Pikachu Outbreak.”
