Pikachu Parade Coming to Seoul

by REERA YOO

A horde of adorable Pikachus will be storming the streets of Seoul on Saturday to celebrate the first Korean pro-gamer to win the Pokemon Video Game World Championship, reports the Korea Times.

Similar to Pokemon Day that was held in Yokohama, Japan in August, Seoul will be hosting a two-day Pokemon Champions Day event at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza on November 15 and 16. Event activities will include card game tournaments, pop quizzes and an interview with Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby game developers Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori.

However, the highlight of the celebration is “Pikachu Show Time,” a live performance by Pikachu mascots, which will be staged four times per day from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Below is a video of the Pikachu dance performance at Yokohama. Get ready for cuteness overload.
