Nanshara × Pokémon Center SHIBUYA / Good Luck Curry | A luxurious time that enriches everyday life and life

Expressed with the latest technology in the near future
Pokemon World of Shibuya PARCO

Pokémon Center SHIBUYA, located in Shibuya PARCO 6F CYBERSPACE SHIBUYA, is a new Pokemon space in harmony with technology, redesigning the concept from the existing Pokemon Center. At the entrance of the stylish black-based store, you will be greeted by a legendary Pokemon Muuto. The life-size Muuto (2 meters) inside the cylinder is a soft texture and realistic feeling as if you are really living. The expression using animatronics technology, which combines LED displays in the background, video, lighting, and audio to move and talk, creates an overwhelming presence that can be heard even the breath of breath. From the near-futuristic entrance, you'll be thrilled. On the wall of the passageway from the entrance to the store, you can also see the graffitiart of Muuto and Miu painted by graffiti artist Number-D. This is a shop that can be said to be a sacred place for Mr. Nansara who loves Pokemon. "When I come to Shibuya PARCO, I will definitely stop by. They also sell a lot of goods, and they are very cute. It makes you happy to be here.”

From the infinite possibilities that combine “likes”
Customize your own Pokemon T-shirt

"Pokemon Design Lab" where you can freely place your favorite Pokemon art and stamps, enter text, and create your own original T-shirt on the spot, is a content that you can experience only here in "Pokémon Center SHIBUYA". You can choose from more than 700 types of Pokemon art and stamps that can be used in the design (as of April 2024), and the original design that combines "likes" is truly infinite. In February of this year, a new design of Pokemon that appears in "Pokemon Scarlet Violet Zero" will also be included. A total of 13 Pokemon that can be met at Kita Cami no Sato and Blueberry Gakuen, which is also the stage of "Zero Treasures" including Momotaro, have been newly added.
Mr. Minami also challenged the original T-shirt design. A large touch screen determines the color and size of the fabric, and selects four ways to make the design. Minami chooses "Pokemon + Stamp" and places it on the T-shirt as you like. Out of countless numbers of Pokemon, she chose the rats (four rats). Decorate it with a stamp to complete the original T-shirt design! After about 60 to 90 minutes, the T-shirt is finished.
"I'm so glad I didn't know I could make a t-shirt here! From a wide variety of things, you can choose Pokemon that you really like. I tried to make a simple design with the main character of "rat rats (4 bikikazoku)" which I thought was cute all the time. I am very pleased with the finish.”

The real world and the virtual world are enriched.
Pokemon that has become an icon of the world

Welcome to the world of Pokemon! —The Pokemon series started in 1996 with the gameboy RPG “Pokemon Red / Green”. With the aim of completing Pokemon Encyclopedia and becoming a battle champion, the story of adventures while traveling around various cities spreads not only to games but also to anime, movies, comics, card games, goods, and icons that are loved from all over the world.
“My favorite Pokemon is Pamo. It's an orange mouse Pokemon. If you compare yourself to Pokemon, “Namakero.” I'm almost asleep all day long, and I'm jealous of it (laughs). When I was young, I went to see the theater version with my parents and played games. When going to rural areas for a long time for shooting dramas, etc., bring a Pokemon card game and play with the manager. When you touch Pokemon, you will be healed.”

At the store, Minami found a large stuffed animal of "Pamo", an evolutionary form of his favorite Pokemon "Pamo". When you put it on your shoulders, you can enjoy the feeling of being hugged by Pokemon, "Hug you! stuffed toy" series unintentionally excited "Cute ~!"

Life-size happiness in everyday life in Nanshara
What I want to try from now on

At home, Mr. Minami says that he is healing from two dogs.
“I’ve had a little dog for about two or three years, and I’ve recently started to have a big dog (Border Corey). After the big child came, the little child became a better child. Every day, I sleep on a futon with a little child, but when I turned off the lights because I wanted to sleep, I came near the futon even if I was far away and dive in like "Let's put in" (laughs). You'll sleep next to me. When I wake up in the morning, I slept on my arm pillow, and it was really cute. You will be happy every time you see it. But for some reason, these two guys are bad together and they are like battles every day.”

He is now 21 years old. When I asked Minami, who has a cool impression and calm atmosphere over his age, "What do you want to try in the future?", I received a very surprising answer.
"Last year or last year, I tried a 50-meter bungee jump for the first time. It was a little scary, but it was really fun. “I can do anything!” I thought it was (laughs). The next thing I would like to fly is the bungee jump, which is said to be the tallest in the world from 233 meters of the Macao Tower. I really want to fly.……It’s a goal to live now, right?”
