Also thrown in is a Pokemon TCG booster pack, and a Pikachu shoulder plushie, though the latter is only for specific ticket purchases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Although Pokemon RUN 30 requires registration, the Festival Zone is free to enter for all, and there\u2019ll also be a <b>Pokemon Center pop-up store <\/b>on the site, too.
