posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Do you have what it takes to earn a gym badge and brush up on your academics at the same time? Sanoyas Interaction will put kids to the test with its "edutainment" facility, The Pokémon EXPO Gym. Planning is underway and the gym is expected to open on November 19 in Osaka.
Stations will teach game fans tips and tricks on individual Pokémon's abilities while providing a space to meet new enthusiasts. Training stations include "Charizard's Battle Colosseum" and "Gardevoir's Control Score." Visitors that successfully complete the areas can win rewards like exclusive Pokémon for Pokémon X, Y, Alpha Sapphire, and Omega Ruby games, so be sure to bring your 3DS with you!
Membership cards and matching pass cases will also be sold at the Pokémon Center in Osaka. A tie-in app that saves visitors' progress is launching November.
Earlier this year The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper transformed the Miraikan science museum in Odaiba, Tokyo into a Pokémon lab exhibit that focused on teaching science concepts through the world of Pokémon.
