The POKÉMON COLORS exhibition will be held at Matsuya Ginza from July 22nd, 2021 until August 11th, 2021 at the Event Square on the 8th floor. The POKÉMON COLORS event celebrates the 25th anniversary of Pokémon's release this year. The event will first be held at Matsuya Ginza in Tokyo, and will then travel nationwide, including Nagoya City in Aichi Prefecture. High resolution pictures from the press release have been added to an Imageboard thread.


Pokémon began in 1996 with the games Pocket Monsters Red and Green. The game was a huge hit, packed with unprecedented elements of fun, such as collecting Pokémon and the social aspect of exchanging Pokémon with friends and playing against each other. Many more games in the series have been released, and the number of Pokémon has increased from 151 to more than 800. In addition, various media such as card games, character merchandising, animations and movies have been developed, and the game is still popular even after 25 years.

This exhibition, titled POKÉMON COLORS, is an interactive project where visitors can enjoy four activities and one installation with Pokémon. In the activities, Pokémon will appear on the screen as you experience each activity, and the world you are experiencing will be filled with a wide range of colors. In the installation, Pokémon will appear in the images on the monitors arranged in a circle, and the venue will be flooded with various colors through light and sound effects. The logo and artwork were newly created with the theme of "COLORS" and the unique worldview of this project. The venue was designed with a circular shape in mind, taking advantage of the large space. It is hope that visitors will experience the feel of the exhibition venue as it is changes colors and it resonates with the visitors through the activities.

At the merchandise corner, they plan to sell goods with original art from this exhibition.

In addition, a Pokémon Center Branch Outlet will open for the first time for a limited time on the first floor at the Space of Ginza in Matsuya Ginza. The plush toy line Pokémon fit and other original products from the Pokémon Center will be on sale.
