Mayor Bloomberg has proclaimed August 8, 2006 to be Pokémon Day in NYC!
Share in the excitement and come to the all-day Pokémon 10th anniversary celebration in the park.
Everyone is invited to watch the Pokémon Video Game National Championships, play yet-to-be released video games, get game character distributions, enjoy live stage shows, plus much more. Celebrity guest Hulk Hogan will be on hand to join in the festivities!
The Championships are the culmination of an action-packed 24-city tour, which generated dozens of finalists from across the country, all of whom are traveling to NYC to compete for the chance to be the U.S. Champion. And for the first time ever, the giant flying Pikachu balloon from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade comes to a Pokémon event!
Fans unable to attend can still get in on all the action by checking out the live webcast on KOL or www.pokemon.com for more info.
