We Got our Gem On!
We rocked Rockefeller Center yesterday with an all-out, fun-filled, Pokémon-infused party yesterday! Thousands came to help us celebrate the launch of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl at the Nintendo World store in Rock Plaza, where the sun was on our side, and good times were had by all!
Besides all of the fun events, we also had some of Pokémon’s heavy hitters – Mr. Junichi Masuda and Mr. Shigeru Ohmori, from GAME FREAK inc., -- come out and answer some questions about the Pokémon franchise! The crowd couldn’t tear themselves away from the on-stage interview, which covered everything from inspiration for the games, to how to break into the industry! Watch this site later this week as we run highlights from the interview for fans that couldn’t be there!
If you didn’t catch the live webcast, we’ll also show highlights from the show all this week, so don’t worry – and don’t forget to pick up one of the games. Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl may be the fastest-selling video games ever!
Enjoy the pics, and start Wi-Fi battling as soon as you can. See you at the Global Trade Station!
