What’s more, the first fifty children under the age of 14 years will receive a themed bag filled with exciting Pokémon goodies.

Be entertained by the Pokémon activations team, and explore the world of trading card games, Pikachu, and more. If you’re a Pokémon fan or you’re curious about the globally celebrated brand, visit Toys R Us Menlyn and join the festivities.

Every year, fans around the world celebrate Pokémon Day. This year, the brand is 30 years old, and the love for Pikachu and friends is as strong as ever. Philip Galliford, spokesperson for Solarpop – distributor of Pokémon trading cards and merchandise in South Africa, believes that the brand has grown globally because it easily connects people of different ages, languages and backgrounds. “More than a game, it’s a pop culture touchstone. Kids grow into teens, teens into adults, and somehow the love for Pokémon remains.”
