This is how the Japanese celebrate Pokemon

A huge Pokebration went down in the Land of the Rising Fun recently, allowing one and all to celebrate their favorite obsession: Pokemon. While machine translation isn't the best, we gathered tournaments and contests were held, as well as demonstrations surrounding the many Pokemon that inhabit the games. Smart, aren't we? No, not really, but hey, we try. Looks like this is the Pokemon Pal City convention, based on our internet findings.

Hit up Famitsu for some more pictures of the event.
