Various Pokémon-related events and activities are scheduled across Japan. In Tokyo’s Nihonbashi-Yaesu district, the “Pokémon Legend Research” event will run from 9 September to 29 November 2026 to mark the franchise’s 30th anniversary. The exhibition features over 100 Pokémon figures and 19 life-size legendary statues at various Mitsui Fudosan-managed sites. While viewing is free, a paid 3,300 yen puzzle-kit designed by Ryo Matsumaru and the RIDDLER team allows participants to engage in a city-wide treasure hunt.

Additionally, an experience session for ‘Plakoro’—a dice-based Pokémon battle game combining luck and strategy—is being held at Aeon Lake Town kaze. This session is free to attend and requires no prior registration.
