In anticipation of the upcoming Pokémon games, Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!, the lovable mascots of the Pokémon series have decided to embark on a road trip around the United States!
The Pokémon: Let's Go, Road Trip! Tour began earlier this week in Los Angeles, California, with a special appearance by hit recording artists and Pokémon fan, Jordin Sparks! The tour will continue for the following two months, and will feature a ton of Pokemon themed goodies! Each stop on the tour will feature Pikachu and Eevee themed trucks, photo opportunities for fans, special giveaways, and demo booths for the upcoming games! Each demo booth will also feature the upcoming Poké Ball Plus accessory, which is a brand new controller designed for the Pokemon: Let's Go games that looks and feels like a real life Poké Ball! Users of the social media platform Snapchat will also be able to access special Pokeemon-themed filters at each tour stop, and players of the hit mobile game Pokémon Go will notice a large amount of Pikachus and Eevees at each tour stop!
The tour dates and times are as follows,
