During last weekend, Alan Mandujano, Head of Latin America for Pokémon GO within Niantic Labs, published on his social networks that the Pokémon Company invited him to the inauguration of the TPCi offices in CDMX, attaching some images of what this space looks like. A large sculpture of Pikachu and many other motifs alluding to the charismatic franchise could not be missing.
