Tokyo-area shoppers will be spending the holidays with Ditto and friends. Japanese station-mall chain LUMINE is teaming up with the Nintendo Switch 2 game Pokémon Pokopia for LUMINE Pokémon Christmas 2026, running November 19 to December 25, 2026 at LUMINE stores. Content and dates vary by location.
What’s planned
An original Christmas visual by art director Keiichiro Oshima, showing Pokopia‘s Pokémon enjoying a snowy holiday night, will decorate the malls, and a Christmas short film using the same artwork is also planned. The campaign includes:
- Digital stamp rally: 25 spots across 14 LUMINE stores. Find the Pokémon stand panels, scan their QR codes through the ONE LUMINE app, and trade stamps for original prizes: a holographic sticker at 2 stamps, an acrylic keychain at 10, and a bandana for all 25. Prizes are first come, first served.
- Pikachu Christmas greetings: photo sessions with a special Pikachu wearing an accessory from the second Pokopia Expansion Pass, on December 12 and 13 at nine stores including LUMINE Shinjuku and LUMINE Ikebukuro. Entry is by lottery through the ONE LUMINE app, with applications open until November 18.
- Pokopia workshops: decorate a wooden Christmas board with ornaments and Pokémon stickers, on select December dates at LUMINE Tachikawa, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Machida and Omiya. Reservations are required.
- Interactive mural: visitors add stickers to help finish a Pokémon holiday scene.
- Photomatic photo booth: an original Pokopia frame at LUMINE Shinjuku.
About Pokémon Pokopia
Co-developed by The Pokémon Company, GAME FREAK and KOEI TECMO GAMES, Pokémon Pokopia is the series’ first slow-life sandbox game. Players are a Ditto transformed into human form, working with Pokémon to turn an empty town into a thriving place by crafting tools from wood and stone and sharing berries. In-game time follows the real-world clock, with changing weather and Pokémon residents. In Japan it sells for 8,980 yen for both the key card package and the download version.
Full store lists, stamp locations and prize pickup counters are on LUMINE’s special site.
