As part of the
Pokémon Local Acts, ITO EN's disaster response vending machines wrapped with Pokémon on them are appearing in municipality! In addition, the vending machines will appear as a Gym in the Pokémon GO game. 7 machines have been made for the participating regions and have been wrapped with the
Ambassador Pokémon for the localities. The purpose of the machines is to help raise disaster awareness among local residents and encouraging them to think about emergency preparedness.
