Starting October 2, 2024, the Nintendo Museum in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, will feature a Pokemon-themed manhole cover known as “Poke-futa.” Each cover boasts a unique design and can be found in various tourist destinations and public facilities across Japan.

The newly unveiled design showcases Pikachu in an action pose alongside the Game Boy, the console on which the original Pokémon Red and Green games were released.

This Poke-futa was announced by Takahito Utsunomiya, COO of The Pokémon Company, and Shuntaro Furukawa, President of Nintendo. It will be installed within the Nintendo Museum premises.

I’m Yousiff Taqi, born in ’87, and I’ve been a huge fan of retro games for as long as I can remember. My favorites are RPGs, Platformers, and Action Adventure. I’ve been interested in computers ever since I was young, which is why I pursued a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering from Purdue University. Now, armed with my passion for both retro gaming and computer engineering, I’m excited to embark on new adventures in the world of technology, where I hope to merge my interests and make meaningful contributions. https://www.instagram.com/Aeon https://twitter.com/FencerDarkwind
