Pokémon Stand — TOBU HOPE CENTER (Ikebukuro)

A self-service Pokémon Stand (ポケモンスタンド) at TOBU HOPE CENTER (Ikebukuro) — a vending machine selling exclusive Pokémon Center merchandise, not a staffed store.

Where: TOBU HOPE CENTER, the underground shopping mall off the Ikebukuro Station west exit.

Hours: the machine follows the opening hours of the store or facility it sits in.

What to expect: Pikachu pops up on the machine's monitor to greet people walking past, and your purchase comes out in a paper bag made only for these stands. (The Pokémon Company)

Good to know: the machine isn't pinned individually on Google Maps, so the pin here is 東武ホープセンター itself. Locations and stock change without notice — check the official list before making a detour.
