Pikachu’s Indonesia Journey, a large-scale project to bring fun-filled days with Pokémon, was announced!
From March 2 2024 to March 3 2024, there will be a big official Pokémon event right in the heart of the island of Bali, precisely at the Puputan Niti Mandala Field in Denpasar! Apart from special events from Pokémon GO and Pokémon RUN, there will also be various free content that you can enjoy!
The Pokémon Run Bali will take place at Lapangan Puputan Niti Mandala Renon, Denpasar, on March 3rd. The event has two categories, namely the 3K family run and the 5K fun run. Additionally, the event will feature a meet and greet with Pokémon, a Pikachu water splash show, and a Pokémon Kids Carnival.
Christina Lim, serving as the General Manager of AKG Entertainment and holding the official Pokémon license in Indonesia, stated that this is the second time the event is being held in Indonesia. Previously, a similar event was successfully held at Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta, in 2022.
Lim aims for the participation of around 3,500 people in the Pokémon Run in Bali this year. She explained that Bali was chosen as the first location because it was directly recommended by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy.
Additionally, in the evening, there will be a Pikachu EDM event, featuring a Pikachu dance performance accompanied by special music and lighting. There will also be a parade of 10 Pikachu, the Pokémon Kids Carnival, and the official Pokémon merchandise sales at Living World Denpasar. Visitors can participate in most of these events free of charge, except for the Pokémon Run tickets and “Pikachu’s Indonesia Journey” in the Pokémon GO game. Another exciting event is the meet and greet session with Pikachu wearing a batik shirt.
Fukunaga conveyed that the Pikachu icon will be presented differently in the upcoming events, wearing a specially designed batik outfit by an Indonesian designer. Pokémon GO players have the opportunity to capture Pikachu in batik attire within the game, while visitors to Pokémon Air Adventures can take photos together with Pikachu in batik.
What is clear is that there is much more exciting content from Pokémon that we will announce later, so stay tuned for information from the official Pokémon account, okay?
