SLC Pokémon!

After two months on the road, the Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America tour is still going strong and headed for Utah! We'll be in the Salt Lake City area this Saturday, April 29th, at the Center Court of the Fashion Place mall from 10 AM to 5 PM. Our special Pokémon Center kiosk will also be at Fashion Place from Thursday, April 27th, to Sunday, April 30th, featuring lots of exclusive items like action figure playsets, Poké Dolls, limited edition 10th Anniversary collectibles, and the nifty Pokémon hats you've seen people wear at all our Journey Across America stops! But Saturday's going to be jam-packed, so avoid the rush and take advantage of the Pokémon Center kiosk's four-day stay!

The Journey Across America will feature an awesome Qualifying Tournament: come watch Trainers in two age categories load up their game paks and battle it out on the main stage for a spot at the upcoming Pokémon Video Game National Championships in New York City! If you haven't registered yet, you may be eligible to attend as an alternate, depending on space available - please see the tournament rules for details.

We have lots of other cool activities planned, and they're free and open to everyone! Trying to fill your Pokédex? We've got Celebi and 20 of our fans' favorite Pokémon available for download, so bring your Game Boy Advance and your copy of Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald. We'll have downloadable demos of Pokémon Trozei, too, so don't forget your Nintendo DS! Who knows, you just might find some new friends to battle or swap records and Agent Cards!

Speaking of cards, drop by our Pokémon TCG One on One to learn how to play the Pokémon Trading Card Game or challenge a friend. We'll be giving away a special Pokémon TCG card, too! After our Time Line wall takes you through 10 years of Pokémon history, look to the future with a preview of the upcoming movie, Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew! Our lounge area will also have great Pokémon episodes for you to enjoy in the company of cuddly plushes. You can get your official Trainer's Certificate and a Pokémon snapshot with Pikachu, and there's still more to do!

Are you as excited as we are? Then we'll see you this Saturday for tons of Pokémon fun! (You might even spot our Pikachu VW parked outside!)
