Purikura Store in Japan is Covered in Pokemon

Pokemon has completely taken over the Shinsaibashi Gate branch of Girls Mignon, a chain of purikura stores in Japan. Outside of Japan, you’ll be able to use Pokemon stickers when doing purikura if you’re using a Purimania machine.

The concept of the store is to bring Pokemon into people’s daily lives. Because your Pokemon is so cute and strong, they make you as the trainer even cuter. As such, classic “cute” Pokemon such as Psyduck, Jigglypuff, and Sprigatito decorate the walls and lockers of the Shinsaibashi Gate Girls Mignon. The store will only look like this for a limited time. Interested users will only have until June 16, 2024 to visit the Pokemon purikura.

For those who are unable to go to Shinsaibashi, you can still enjoy Pokemon stickers and frames when playing purikura. In total, there are eight variations. You can choose to decorate your pictures with Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Psyduck, Ditto, Eevee, Snorlax, Sprigatito, or a combination of them. Like the store, the stickers and frames will only be available in Purimania machines until June 16, 2024.

The Indigo Disk expansion is now available in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which is on the Nintendo Switch. You can check out how to start the DLC here.
