The POKÉMON COLORS exhibition is a bright and vivid interactive project which welcomes visitors to participate in four activities, along with an art installation.
The COLORS ROAD activity has guests pedaling along on a bicycle, pressing a button on the handlebars to avoid passing Pokémon, while COLORS LAKE offers the chance to fish for some popular creatures. COLORS FOREST involves shaking large inflatable trees to cause nuts to fall and hidden Pokémon to appear. COLORS CITY involves throwing balls at a massive screen in the hopes of startling some adorable monsters into view.
The art installation COLORS CIRCLE fills the room with bright colored lights and sound effects, with Pokémon moving around on 12 monitors displayed in a spherical pattern. The venue itself was designed with a circular theme in mind, with the logo and artwork for the event specially made to fit the simple theme of ‘colors.’
Special goods will be on sale at the exhibition, so Pokémon fans shouldn’t miss out. Which Pokémon would you like to see?
