The Pokémon wedding is a new licensed product that stems from a collaboration between ESCRIT and Nintendo Creatures Gamefreak. This activation truly takes the franchise to another level as the cult-favorite cartoon has inserted itself in many daily and special rituals — from offering scholarships to students to gamified shopping experiences.
When booking the Pokémon wedding, which is done through ESCRIT's website, one can marvel at two large bride and groom mascots that are wearing sizable Pikachu costumes. The characters will walk the couple down the aisle. In addition, the theme is imposed on other assets of the wedding — from the dining portion to the wedding certificate.
For true fans, a Pokémon wedding is a novelty that is bound to deliver an unforgettable experience.
