Chansey will appear more frequently in the area as a support Pokémon to support tourism in the tsunami-affected area.


That’s flipping ADORABLE.

Yeah, I’ve already seen a Chansey mascot running around the station here in Fukushima yesterday.

As an addition to the article, there’s a actually a more obvious connection between the Pokémon and the prefecture’s name: Chansey is called ラッキー (Lucky) in Japanese.
