A Walk To Pokemon Village In Times Square, Causeway Bay Hong Kong
September 20, 2023
I have read @wittyzell's post about her visit to Pokemon shop in Japan, and it reminded me of my visit to Pokemon Village way back in the Christmas season in 2019. I can say that Hong Kong people are among those who love Pokemon. I witnessed before my eyes how teens, even adults, became fond of chasing Pokemons in different spots in Hong Kong when the Pokemon game was still new and trending. I couldn't believe that even old ones were into that game, and would go to the streets early in the morning to find Pokemon. That's how addicted they were. That year, I made a quote, "Where there is a bunch of people tapping phones, there is Pokemon to catch 🤣." Too bad I wasn't into that game, so I didn't feel what it was like to chase Pokemons, and why people were addicted to it.
In the late quarter of 2019, the Pokemon company launched the Pokemon Sword and Shield. Pokemon lovers surely know about this stuff. In celebration of the launching, a Pokemon Village was built in Times Square, Causeway Bay. It was during the Christmas season, so the theme was Pokemon Christmas Village. I shared about this place on another platform before, but I opted to pin this to pinmapple for documentary purposes. This became one of the main attractions among the grand Christmas installations across Hong Kong that year. Hong Kong region is undoubtedly the best place to visit in the festive season as several grand installations would turn the place into a wonderland.
It was during the last week when I visited the village at Times Square. The venue itself is another attraction. Times Square, does it ring the bell? It was named after Times Square, USA. Although the place isn't the same as in the US, this is the most luxurious shopping center and office complex in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. At night is the best time to roam around Causeway Bay.
The village was built in front of Times Square, and each year, the place always has a grand Christmas installation. This Pokemon Village was one of the best. Different cute houses were installed, and inside were different life-size Pokemon statues.
Houses were cozy in Christmas settings with the Pokemon characters. Of course, my favorite one, Pikachu, which is also the most popular Pokemon character, has a cozy yellow house that matched its color. This I guess, was the cutest among all houses.
I doubt there is someone who doesn't know this cute yellow dude. Otherwise, you'll be electrocuted, lol.
Aside from Pikachu, some characters were also there such as Snorlax, Eevee, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and others that I'm not familiar with the name. There were houses that I wasn't able to visit because of the crowd.

I was looking for the cutest Pokemon, Jigglypuff, but it wasn't there. And who can forget Psyduck? This poor duck always gets headaches, probably because of the Team Rocket's hilarious failures, lol. Some would underestimate this character, but it has a strong psychic power.
Meanwhile, the giant among all Pokemon here, Snorlax, was sleeping as always. I saw photos online of other giant statues of popular Pokemon characters inside the shopping center, but I missed that part.
It was such a cute village and kids were those who enjoyed the place the most, of course, the adult Pokemon lovers as well. And for this year, I'm looking forward to seeing another amazing Christmas installation at Times Square.
Happy Humpday to @tattoodjay and to his community. This will be my post for this week's #WednesdayWalk in collaboration with #MakeMeSmile challenge.
Who's Pokemon lovers here? Did you like the Pokemon Christmas Village? ☺️

Visiting the Pokemon Village in Times Square, Causeway Bay, sounds like a delightful experience, especially during the festive season. The combination of Pokemon and Christmas themes must have created a magical atmosphere. It's also interesting to learn about Times Square in Hong Kong and its significance as a luxurious shopping center and office complex.

Visiting this village must be an amazing experience for a pokemon lover. I think someday I'll visit this incredible place. Thanks for showing it up❤
Unfortunately, this don't exist anymore... At least, I was able to see it... It was a lovely experience.
I hope to have the opportunity to visit that place, I also like pokemon, nice pictures.
It was in 2019.. This village was just temporary.. So I was lucky to be there hehe
Hey Jane, those cute pokemons are my childhood, I used to collect them and draw them in my books.
Wow.. Never knew you were an artist too. I also loved drawing them when I was younger ☺️
This is a pretty cool looking place. I do not think there is anywhere in the U.S like this. But I agree, poke'mon is a great game. Ninetails is my favorite, just because it looks cute.
This isn't a permanent village.. It's just temporary. And I was lucky to visit it before it closed. Hehe..
Holly Molly! Had no idea this even exists. But now seeing your post I'm twice excited, lol! Must be such a crazy experience!
It was a fantastic experience.. Everyone would love the place for sure
I didn't know about this place. My kids love Pokémon!
Incredible and wonderful place. And if there is someone who would be very happy to know it would be my son, he would be very happy to be there.
I guess he's a Pokemon lover too.. Kids even grown ups truly loved the place..
I hope to have the opportunity to visit that village too, I also liked your photography , nice pictures.
Beautiful photographs. Greetings.
A paradise for a Pokémon lover! I love Pokémon, so it could be great to visit that place someday.
You look great in the middle of the Pikachu’s room!
It was built in 2019.. Just a temporary one, not permanent...
Thanks btw ☺️

Yep.. I dunno if there is a new season..but I like watching it before
I have never watched but I remember spending a lot for cards for my son when he collected them.
There was a time my two sons were very much into the Pokemon craze, shockingly expensive character cards after a while of collecting. Then there's the computer game! We still have some of the stuffy toys left over since.
