This first-of-its-kind event in India was brought together by the Pokémon Company for fans of all ages for an immersive experience that combined adventure, entertainment, and fitness.

A Pokémon Paradise for Fans

Four action-packed days, Jio World Garden was transformed into a vibrant Pokémon wonderland filled with beloved characters, interactive zones, and exclusive activities. Visitors tested their skills at the Pokéball Throw, explored the Berry Farm games, and joined the ever-popular Pikachu Dance, reliving their favourite Pokémon moments while making new ones.

Where Fitness Meets Fun

The excitement reached its peak during The Pokémon Run on March 1 and 2, where participants took part in a 2K Fun Run on Saturday and a 5K Challenge on Sunday. The course was dotted with Pokémon-themed surprises, turning an ordinary run into an extraordinary adventure. Every participant received complimentary access to the carnival, ensuring a weekend brimming with entertainment.

Unforgettable Highlights

The carnival featured food stalls, exclusive Pokémon merchandise, and live entertainment, captivating Pokémon enthusiasts, both young and old. The event was a unique fusion of fandom and fitness, leaving visitors inspired and eager for more.

Susumu Fukunaga, Corporate Officer, The Pokémon Company, reflected on Pokémon's expanding presence in India, “We have organised many Pokémon events before, but mostly on a smaller scale in malls. This is our first-ever large-scale event in an open space, bringing fans together to celebrate Pokémon. We have collaborated with global brands at the carnival and would love to collaborate with Indian brands as well to create unique experiences for Indian audiences. Pokémon is not just a game—it's a community, an experience, and a way to stay active.”

Added P Venkataraman, CEO of YouTooCanRun, shared his excitement, “We were overjoyed to bring the Pokémon Carnival and Run to India. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with Pokémon fans, encourage families to get active, and deliver a one-of-a-kind experience that will be remembered for years to come.”

A New Era for Pokémon in India

Supported by The Pokémon Company and expertly managed by YouTooCanRun, the Pokémon Carnival and Run marked a new milestone in Pokémon's journey in India. More than just an event, it was a celebration of fun, fitness, and fandom, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.

Stay tuned for the next big adventure as Pokémon evolve into bigger and better versions, while we simply “Gotta Catch ‘Em All!”!
