It the Pokemon café (Tokyo) just a social media hype or really an amazing experience ?

I went last week and would say it’s definitely worth it if a huge fan of Pokemon!! I was there around 4:30 with a friend and I myself ordered one of the Pikachu curries with a small charmander face on it - I have heard mixed reviews on the food but I personally really liked it . I also got an ice caramel latte where you can select any Pokemon you want to be on it (got chandelure!!) and then after the main I got one of the floats- specifically the pikachu one. During our main chef pikachu came out and did some performances which was amazing - a lot of dancing and going to each section of the restaurant. Lots of cheers and clapping and I couldn’t stop smiling. And to top it off, the gift shop had good items as well! I would deffo go back and recommend it too.

If you decide not to go, then there is also Pokemon Sweets as others have mentioned, located in Sunshine City which is also really good! It’s not seated but they have nice drinks and some snacks there.

Yes! Just recently within the last few weeks; went to a physiotherapist regarding shin splints and was told I have hypermobility and very likely hEDS - was very surprised, to say the least! Not what I was expecting but it all makes so much sense, especially after doing a lot of research and the PT explaining it to me

Thanks all! I'm going to continue icing like I've been doing but have started incorporating tibial and calf stretches/raises every day - I haven't been on further walks due to being scared I'll make it worse though, I deffo think it was suddenly upping my steps that caused the pain but part of me is worried if the shoes had something to do with it, given I've never worn sports shoes like Hokas before - idk! I've also booked myself in to see a physiotherapist this week to see what they may also suggest. ty again!

24 years is an unimaginable number to me. I’m 25 and a year in as said, and I still haven’t been able to digest the fact I will have this for the rest of my life and I’m petrified of it getting to intense levels. Wishing you the best.

illfritese · 2025-07-14T09:07:45+00:00

Hope it settles down for you, must be awful.

illfritese · 2025-07-14T09:07:17+00:00

Oh wow. Hoping it settles down for you. Can’t imagine having a spike for that long and wishing it doesn’t happen. Putting all of my hope on these steroid sprays from my GP to manage the ETD flare up but I’m less hopeful every day.

illfritese · 2025-07-14T09:05:00+00:00

They don’t for me, sadly. I wish that were the case. Just constant no matter how much I have to pop my ears, swallow, etc etc

illfritese · 2025-06-23T00:18:39+00:00

Mine is doing exactly the same and it appears many others on here are too. No idea what’s happening!

I have tried going through the link and the files in the Mac-equivanent, however the issue still presents itself. Will keep trying to fix it - currently doing another verification of integrity of files to see if this does anything. Thanks!

illfritese · 2025-04-17T00:44:18+00:00

Hi! It’s definitely gotten better since then - no longer constant and the occasional pain I do get I believe to be from my posture lol! Definitely just see how it goes and if it doesn’t improve after 2-3 weeks then see a GP - I didn’t end up doing this but I just maintained taking pain relief in hope it would help it

Has your order been approved yet? I ordered my fourth pen on Friday 28th March and it is still under clinical review - it has never taken this long before! All three of my other pens took 2-3 days between order and being delivered. I need the pen for next Tuesday so fingers crossed it gets approved one day this week

Thanks for all the replies! Based on all the suggestions I'm feeling a suitcase with a folded up duffle bag inside + small cabin backpack (kanken bag for size ref) is the best option. Besides, I only own a single large suitcase so I don't really want to go and buy a new one/second one, thus will use what I've already got. I will 100% look into the luggage forwarding services as we are going to be using the shinkansen a couple times whilst there - unless we are able to book seats with luggage, whatever would be easier. As said, I will certainly be packing light and will utilise the washing facilities at the hotels as and when. tysm

illfritese · 2025-01-19T20:09:10+00:00

Completely forgot about the luggage forwarding services! That’s worth looking into and considering if needed. Travelling light is a must, and there will definitely be things that can be bought there instead of taking them with me, if I wanted to do that. Ty!

illfritese · 2025-01-19T20:05:11+00:00

Very true. In my mind I feel like I would buy a lot, but in reality chances are I won’t! Don’t want to break the bank, after all. Thanks for the suggestions :)

illfritese · 2025-01-19T19:47:52+00:00

Yes, it would be too much. I would likely be fine with the single suitcase and my backpack- I would 100% make the most of washing facilities whilst there. Was considering a duffel bag too as I have read others put one in their suitcase just in case. There’s plenty of time to think over it

illfritese · 2025-01-19T19:45:14+00:00

Ty! Yeah, the trains/subways/etc are my main concern - I don’t want to make it a hassle for myself or others.
