Legendary Pokémon statues have been installed in downtown Tokyo and will remain through the fall, SoraNews24 reports. A Legend Research event is also running in the Tokyo Station area, bringing more than 100 Pokémon species into the city.

That flips the setup of the games and anime, where Trainers hunting the most powerful species have to venture far outside human settlements. Here the search happens in central Tokyo, a short walk from one of the city's main rail hubs.
