Attendees are said to be given the chance to try out both Pokemon Sword and Shield at the event floor, buy Pokemon merchandise, and best of all - enjoy the company of Pikachu and Eevee mascots who are said to have a dance parade at 8 PM on Friday. Is there going to be more of the Pikachu and Eevee dance parade performance after the 15th? No official word but we will update you once we get more details.
