Fans go wild for surreal Mewtwo display at new Pokemon Center in Japan
Nintendo fans were blown away when a fan posted a video of a mindblowing Mewtwo display at a new Pokemon Center store that opened in Shibuya, Japan, and it’s the best thing you’ll see all day.
Pokemon first released in 1996, and went on to become not only one of Nintendo’s most successful properties, but as of 2019, the highest grossing media franchise of all time, generating over $90 billion.
A newly opened Pokemon store in Shibuya, Japan installed an insane Mewtwo display that has fans raving as it’s so incredibly accurate, it literally brings the character to life.
The legendary Psychic-type was first introduced back in Generation I, quickly becoming a fan favorite, and was even the star of the film ‘Pokemon: The First Movie’ released in 1999.
