Pikachu Special Appearance
In the coming five weeks, Pokémon takes centre stage at LaLaport BBCC with Pikachu being the main highlight of the event. Every weekend, fans can meet Pikachu up close during special Meet-and-Greet sessions and catch the Walkabout appearances around the mall, spreading smiles and spontaneous fun. Pokémon Hunting at LaLaport BBCC To spark a little holiday adventure for shoppers, LaLaport BBCC has introduced a fun quest to hunt for Pokémon throughout the mall. Shoppers and visitors can embark on an exciting Pokémon Sticker Collection quest, where eight different Pokémon stickers will be available each week and must be collected from a different set of eight participating stores[1]. Pokémon fans can redeem the sticker booklet[2] with a minimum spend of just RM10 mall-wide and collect the stickers for free over the course of five weeks. Across the campaign period, there will be 40 stickers to collect, and completing the full set allows shoppers to redeem a limited-edition Pokémon sticker set.
Additionally, those who purchase any Pokémon merchandise at the LaLaport Pokémon Happy Holidays booths at the Main Atrium on the Ground Floor will receive a postcard[2] that allows them to collect five exclusive stamps at no cost. Stamp counters will be placed throughout the mall, creating another enjoyable mini-hunt to complete. As they search for stickers and stamps, visitors can also discover and pose at the numerous Pokémon photo spots located throughout the mall.
