portable video game systems. On Oct. 6 at the Nintendo World

among the first in the nation to purchase the games in advance
of their Oct. 7 release. Additionally, the first 1,000 people in

scarf, and all attendees will have the opportunity to take
photos with costumed characters of Pokémon Snivy, Tepig and
Oshawott.
A week later on Oct. 13, during New York Comic-Con, Pokémon fans
can participate in a massive interactive experience at the
nearby Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
Launch Celebration, enjoying a wide array of activities
highlighting the imaginative fun of the Pokémon franchise.
Planned activities include live performances from the
Chicago-based band I Fight Dragons, a live stage show, a Pokémon
photo booth, an opportunity to receive the mythical Pokémon
Genesect for attendees who bring their Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo
DS and copy of the game, hands-on time with Pokédex 3D Pro for
Nintendo 3DS prior to its Nov. 8 launch and live Pokémon-themed
ice sculpting.
Attendees who participate in the event’s activities will receive
tickets that can be redeemed on-site during event hours for a
variety of Pokémon giveaways (while supplies last). The Pokémon
Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Launch Celebration
will be open from noon to 8 p.m. at SIR Stage37 at 508 W. 37th
