The event, which will be held on Aug. 17 and 18, will feature several activities including downloadable content, a video game battle corner, a TCG tournament, and a Pokémon Tretta lab.

Players can also demo the Pokémon Scramble U video game. There will also be a capsule-toy vending machine selling Pokémon Scramble U NFC figures at the Pokémon Center stand, where attendees have a chance to obtain the special Black Kyurem and White Kyurem figures.
