Mr. Susumu Fukunaga, Corporate Officer of The Pokémon Company, expressed, “This celebration honors everyone who has traveled with us over the years. Whether you’re a current Trainer or a longtime fan returning to Pokémon, we welcome you to share in this milestone. We are also excited to introduce Pokémon to new fans in the Asian region. We hope this event offers a great chance for those unfamiliar with Pokémon to discover it for the first time.”

“We are pleased to bring to you a dedicated website to officially connect to our fans in Asia for each celebration in the seven cities. We hope everyone can look forward to the celebration together.”
