Hey everyone, hope this is the correct flair and spot to post. I was super fortunate and got to take my family and tour the USA Pokémon headquarters yesterday in Seattle. I am lucky enough to work with someone who is married to an employee. They do not allow tours otherwise. My daughter loves Pokémon as do me and my wife. Upon entering they asked my daughter her favorite Pokémon and hers is eevee. We weren’t allowed to film inside or take photos of certain areas but these were allowed. Overall had a blast and was very cool to see everything they had. Super impressive and creative design and work areas.
Every conference room for example was named after one. The size of the room correlates with the size of the Pokémon as well.
They had a huge lunch room with booths which had custom tile work showing every iteration of the poke centers from each game. Two of them shown in these photos.
The charizard is supposed to be life size.
The cards you see are the original uncut versions to show how they print them.
Overall an amazing experience and as you can see they really hooked up my daughter afterwards with a custom stuffy and bag as well as some other great merchandise some of which can only be acquired from there or the Pokémon center store.
Thought it would be cool to share.
