Pokémon Fossil Museum,36th Special Planned Exhibition of Toyohashi Museum of Natural History, will open from 16 July 2022 to 6 Novenber 2022.

　Pokémon, the beloved creatures of the Pokémon video game series, are full of mystery. Some of them can only be revived from fossil-like states! The subject of this exhibition is the so-called fossil Pokémon, which are shown as part of a unique paleontological learning experience. Visitors will be able to compare the fossil Pokémon with similar prehistoric life forms found in real-world fossils. Our “Fossil Professor” and “Excavator Pikachu,” along with real-world experts, will guide you through the exhibition, offering assistance on how to compare the fossils of the two worlds.

You can watch an official video introduction of the exhibition here.（Link to an external site）
