Pikachu Outbreak 2018 Event

[Crossroads Bulletin]

It isn’t too late to make Summer plans for Japan to see Pikachu!

This year’s Pikachu Outbreak festival in Yokohama has been announced. If you visit Yokohama between the dates of August 10th to 16th then you can have a chance to see an army of dancing Pikachu!
Pikachu Outbreak is a yearly festival where Pikachu can be seen parading around Yokohama. They can be seen dancing to music and greeting people. This year the theme is “Science is Amazing!”.
There will be performances done at night for the first time. You can expect during the night performances the use of digital technology to showcase the dancing Pikachu. It is said that over 1,500 Pikachu mascots will take part in this year’s Pikachu Outbreak. You may even have the chance to see the famous Ditto-chu and Mimikyu.
Other events that will take place during Pikachu Outbreak 2018 includes Great Pikachu March and the Digital Splash Show. Panasonic will be hosting an “Ocean Pikachu Parade” that will use digital technology.
Book your plane tickets now if you want to see all of this and more! Either that or wait to see what video of this happy celebration.
It has already been confirm that there will be no Pokemon GO event to go along with this year’s Pikachu Outbreak. The mayor of Yokohama had said that it was a risk to public’s safety to have so many people within the city due to Pokemon GO and Pikachu Outbreak.

If I can talk to my friend about it and convince him. I'm going with him xD. We're planning on going sometime soon, but if he can go in August. Then I WILL be there! I'll be back with tons of Pikachu stuff. Probably a Pikachu onesie, ears, a tail or two, mugs, towels. If I could I'd buy one of those costumes too! I'd hate to have to hijack one because I NEED one of those costumes in my life. XD

Though I'm concerned you'll never take it off once you do get one. XD

Good luck and may your crazy Pika dreams come true!

I dunno. I've never worn a onesie before. Plus if I find a costume I gotta find the right one. Those will be hard to find much less smuggle back home. Then again they are filled with air. I remember one deflating. XD

I have hugged two of these Pikachu before and I can tell you that they are filled with air. They have some sort of fan in them. I am not sure if it is to keep the person inside cool or to keep them inflated. Either way. I enjoy and need to hug more of these.

I'm sure it's a bit of both. Cause I'm sure it gets hot in that big suit. Especially in summer. The balloon effects just help give it the more chubby Pikachu look which is perfect! I need to both hug and have one of these in my life xD

They leave you with the happiest feeling when you hug them. It is pure bless. I look forward to finding one of these guys when I attend the North America International Championships. It is amazing.

I'm actually hoping to go to see the PWC in Tennessee this year. I'm just waiting for tickets to go on sale. I'm sure there will be one there.
