Preparations for the event, including an entry guide for the initial three days, were made due to the anticipated large crowds. We were granted an exclusive, early access to both pop-up stores and can provide an overview of what visitors can expect.\n\nUpon entering, the most prevalent merchandise items are plushies or plushie-related products, available in various sizes. However, within the same size category, there are price differences based on the specific Pokemon evolutionary line.
