A temporary {{bp|Pokèmon Center (store)|Pokèmon Center}} will be located at「中部国際空港」{{wp|Central Japan International Airport}}, reports {{bp|The Pokèmon Company}}. In addition to selling original Pokèmon merchandise, The Pokèmon Company will also be hosting {{wp|bingo}} games.


The store will be located on the fourth floor of the airport. The store will sell original merchandise on Dec. 26, Dec. 27, and Jan. 5. Bingo games will take place from Jan. 1 through Jan. 4. Four bingo games will be played each day, and will cost ¥500 to play.
A temporary {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} will be located at the {{wp|Central Japan International Airport}}. In addition to selling original Pokémon merchandise, the store will also host {{wp|bingo}}.


This isn't the first time Pokèmon has hosted an event at an airport this year. As [[Pikachu that know Fly to be distributed in Japan|previously reported]], a {{p|Pikachu}} that knew {{m|Fly}} was given away at the 「全日本空輸株式会社」{{wp|All Nippon Airways}} (ANA) terminal in「東京国際空港」{{wp|Tokyo International Airport}}. ANA has been a constant sponsor of Pokèmon events, also hosting a {{p|Darkrai}} {{bp|List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2010#All Nippon Airways Darkrai|event}} late last year until earlier this year, and even another {{bp|List of Nintendo event Pokémon in 2004#ANA Pikachu|Pikachu that knows Fly}} event in all the way back in 2004.
The store will be located on the fourth floor of the airport, and it will sell original merchandise on Dec. 26, Dec. 27, and Jan. 5. Bingo games will take place from Jan. 1-3. Four bingo games will be played each day from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and will cost ¥500 to play.


Interestingly, the logo for the Central Japan International Airport does not feature a {{bp|starter Pokèmon}}, as every other Pokèmon Center logo has.
This is not the first time Pokémon has hosted an event in an airport. {{p|Pikachu}} knowing {{m|Fly}} were given away at the {{wp|All Nippon Airways}} (ANA) terminal at the {{wp|Tokyo International Airport}} earlier this year. ANA has been a constant sponsor of Pokémon events, hosting (among other things) a {{p|Darkrai}} {{bp|List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2010#All Nippon Airways Darkrai|distribution}} in 2010-2011, an earlier {{bp|List of Nintendo event Pokémon in 2004#ANA Pikachu|Flying Pikachu}} distribution in 2004, and TCG distributions in 2000.
