It seems that Pikachu must really be thrilled riding so high in the ozone layer with Rayquaza. Smile

This is cool but when I think about how often horrible earthquakes hit Japan, I shudder...

There was one in NYC. Not sure if it's still there. There are also Pokemon Center kiosks in malls, though of the 3 I knew of near me, one shut down completely, one is now just a vending machine, and not sure of the third.

It was replaced by the Nintendo World Store (now Nintendo of New York) in 2005.

As cool as it sounds I can only imagine the outrageously high prices they are going to be charging just for a Pokémon plushie. Shocked

Darn, I saw the title and I thought the Pokémon Center store would be on that Pokémon jet.

There is still a huge Pokémon section of the Nintendo World Store though. Last time I went there, they still called it the Pokémon Center.
