As can be seen above, the new commemorative artwork celebrating the Pokémon Center Okinawa’s opening depicts Pikachu and friends being welcomed to a remote island location. The store’s signature Pokémon Arcanine can be seen on the roof of the building along with Alolan Exeggutor who’s hanging around outside.
The Pokémon Center in Okinawa is inspired by a tropical theme. Unlike the other Japanese store locations, Okinawa’s shop has taken several notes from its local environment and culture to create an esthetic that fits the area’s vibe.
The Pokémon Center Okinawa opens Thursday, August 11th. Arcanine and Pikachu will be ready to greet customers at the door, and you can guarantee there will be a whole lot of exclusive merchandise.
