Back in 2015, Osaka opened the Pokemon EXPO Gym, a Pokemon Gym which acts as an “Edutainment” facility through Pokemon.
The Pokemon EXPO Gym features various activities, like Charizard’s Battle Colosseum, which allows trainers to battle another trainer who uses a Charizard for 600 yen.
The Pokemon EXPO Gym’s March Consolidated Report revealed that it has about 2.4 billion yen in deficit.
However, less than two years later, that real-life Pokemon gym is now about to close its doors permanently.
