Stunning Pokémon Prints Come to the Pokémon Center

The Pokémon Center welcomes two new Pokémon art pieces created using the traditional woodblock printing method.

Two new amazing art pieces have arrived in the Pokémon Center for serious Pokémon fans and collectors. The beautiful woodblock prints take historical works of art and update them with modern depictions of Pokémon and people in a visually striking way.
The Vermilion City print presents a variety of Kanto Pokémon, including Slowpoke, Charizard, and Gyarados, as well as scenes of normal life in the port city. More than two dozen Pokémon appear in the print.

The Silence Bridge print portrays the start of an exciting battle, setting the duo of Pokémon Trainer Red and his partner Pikachu against a Snorlax just awakened by a Poké Flute. The art is an homage to a famous battle between two samurai from the 12th century.

Woodblock printing, or ukiyo-e, is a traditional art style in Japan that is known for its painstaking attention to detail. First, an artist draws an image, and then a sculptor carves the image into wooden boards, one for each color. A painter uses the boards to create a layered print matching the original art. The result is a richly colored woodblock print. These new Pokémon prints use the same hand-crafted technique, requiring multiple people and an enormous amount of time to produce these limited copies.

The woodblock prints are just the latest example of the special and exclusive items coming to the Pokémon Center. Get a closer look at the two breathtaking woodblock prints in the Pokémon Center today.

New storyline gives lapsed ‘Pokémon Go’ players a reason to reinstall

The Pokémon Go craze has definitely fizzled out over the last year or so, with several key promised features still not released yet, but lapsed trainers now have a reason to reinstall the game again. This week, new “field research” quests add narrative to what has largely been a player-driven multiplayer experience thus far. “A series of mysterious happenings is occurring all over the world, and Professor Willow is seeking trainers to help him found out if this is connected to the mythical Pokémon Mew,” Niantic said in an update post . “These research tasks will become available to trailers around the world later this week!” There will be two different categories of research during the event: “Field research” and “special research.” The former type can be triggered by visiting Pokéstops, and will task trainers with completing raids or gym battles or catching a certain type of Pokémon. Special research missions are longer, with trainers having to complete several ...

Pokémon Sun and Moon - how and where to catch Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini

The Guardian Tapu Pokémon are Sun and Moon's version of the typical sub-legendaries that have been a new-generation staple ever since the Legendary Dogs Suicune, Raichu and Entei, way back in gen two. They're some of the best Pokémon in the game, thanks to dedicated Z Moves, abilities, and excellent stats, and so well worth your time. Each Tapu acts as a guardian for it's own island - Tapu Koko for Melemele, Tapu Lele for Akala, Tapu Bulu for Ula'Ula , and Tapu Fini for Poni Island - and are all found in their island's corresponsing ruins: the Ruins of Conflict , Ruins of Life , Ruins of Abundance , and Ruins of Hope , respectively. A final warning, too: the Tapu are only catchable after you've completed the main storyline of Sun and Moon, and so major spoilers follow below. Check out our complete Pokémon Sun and Moon walkthrough if you're still trying to finish it! Where to find and how to catch Tapu Koko - the Ruins of Conflict Tapu Ko...
