Now that more and more people are falling in love with Pokémon, Taiwan not only has Pokémon-themed restaurants drawing fans, but also the highly anticipated 2018 "Pokémon Carnival Fun Run," a brand-new event returning after two years, is set to sweep across the island once again!

The globally popular Pokémon franchise is launching a carnival fun run, with its Asian tour announced to take place only in Taiwan and Singapore. This has sparked discussions among Pokémon Masters and even attracted overseas visitors to come to Taiwan to witness the spectacular gathering of Pikachu figures imported directly from Japan.

The "Mass Outbreak of Pikachu" event, which has been held multiple times in Japan, has thrilled and excited fans every year. This year’s 2018 "Pokémon Carnival Fun Run" in Taiwan is expected to recreate the same excitement as in Japan. This event is not just a fun run—it also incorporates "carnival" elements, inviting Pokémon Trainers from all walks of life to join in. Unlike previous Pokémon fun runs held in Taiwan, this edition will feature unique plans and inflatable obstacle courses that promise even more anticipation and surprises!

The "Pokémon Carnival Fun Run" covers a total distance of about 3 kilometers and includes inflatable obstacle challenges themed around the four elemental types—"Grass," "Fire," "Water," and "Electric." There will also be an "Energy Recharge Zone" for instant refreshments and a lively "Game Zone." Most excitingly, Pikachu mascots imported directly from Japan will make an appearance, so Pokémon and Pikachu fans definitely shouldn’t miss out!
