JET Reflection 11: Pokémon Centers

One fun little goal I have while in Japan is to visit as many of the Pokémon Centers as possible. There are nine alone in the greater Tokyo area which is the greatest number of Pokémon Centers in any region of Japan. Current progress: The merchandise across most of the stores is similar but there…
