In Sedge Town, guests will find a Pokémon Center, Poké Mart, Gym, and Battle Court, alongside parades, shows, and meet-and-greets with beloved characters. At the entrance, the Starter Pokémon Plaza will welcome fans with statues of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

It will also serve as a shopping and dining facility with souvenirs available only in the park and themed food stalls. Electric Pikachu will also headline an “Electric Pokémon” performance to spice up the various live shows. Fans will also get a chance to buy limited-edition goods at the Trainers’ Market for a memory they can collect with each visit.
