About the Project

Overview "Pokémon Centers" are the official shops of "Pokémon", familiar to various ages of every country in the world. The flagship shop "Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo" has opened on the 2nd floor of Sunshine City Alpa in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. With decorations of Mega Evolved Pokémon, as the central shop of all the Pokémon Centers expanded throughout Japan, it has the sales area of the largest scale.
Issues/Themes To create an unprecedented "core" shop of all the Pokémon Centers, to deserve the theme "Mega Evolution".
Space Solution/Realization We have developed unprecedented content, such as figures and graphical decorations of Mega Evolved Pokémon, Virutual Monster Ball with video direction of various Pokémon jumping out, or LED rings that change colors and distribute information. We have hit on different ideas together with Pokémon Center, to create a shop where is unfolded the new world of Pokémon, adopting elements of entertainment.
