Convention Centered
The days are hot and there’s still time to hit the beach, but maybe you’d like to explore a different type of terrain – the dealer’s room at your local fan convention! Summer is the best time for conventions, and we’ve certainly seen a lot of interesting things this year, especially in the world of Pokémon!
With the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl earlier this year, our fans certainly seem inspired! They’ve taken the time to make costumes of many different Pokémon characters and wear them to anime conventions like Anime Boston, Otakon and AnimeNEXT, turning these events into Pokémon cosplay paradise! “Cosplay” is short for “costume play”, and we can say that these fans were certainly having lots of fun dressing up as their favorite characters, people and Pokémon alike!
Great Pokémon costumes aren’t all there is to see at conventions, though! If you hit the Exhibit Floor at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, you would have run across the Pokémon booth, where you could try your hand at a game or two! The Pokémon Trading Figure Game was in full-force there, with demos being held to prepare players for the game’s US release in August!

Check out the pictures, and get inspired – maybe next year we’ll see you at our booth, or in an outrageous Pokémon costume!
