Pikachu's Playful Poké Lid Debut

Pikachu Manhole Cover: A Ground-Level Pokémon EncounterPrepare for a unique Pokémon hunt! The new Nintendo Museum in Kyoto is showcasing a special Pokémon manhole cover featuring Pikachu.

Poké Lids, or Pokéfuta, are beautifully designed manhole covers showcasing various Pokémon. These artistic street features often highlight Pokémon associated with a specific region. The Nintendo Museum's Poké Lid celebrates Nintendo's history and Pokémon's enduring popularity, depicting Pikachu and a Pokéball emerging from a classic Game Boy, surrounded by pixelated graphics.

The Poké Lid website adds a touch of mystery: "Poké Lids have begun appearing in various cities. Are they Pokémonopolistic? Some believe Diglett might be responsible for creating unusually large holes, inspiring artists to mark these unique covers."

The Nintendo Museum's Poké Lid is part of a growing trend. Many Japanese cities use these colorful covers to revitalize areas and attract tourists. Fukuoka features an Alolan Dugtrio Poké Lid, while Ojiya City showcases Magikarp, its shiny form, and Gyarados. These Poké Lids also serve as PokéStops in Pokémon GO, allowing players to collect and share postcards.

Pikachu Manhole Cover: A Symbol of Regional PridePoké Lids are part of Japan's Pokémon Local Acts campaign, using Pokémon to promote regional tourism and highlight local geography. With over 250 Poké Lids installed, the campaign continues to expand.

Pikachu Manhole Cover: A Celebration of PokémonThe initiative started in December 2018 with an Eevee celebration in Kagoshima Prefecture. It expanded nationwide in July 2019, featuring a wider range of Pokémon.

The Nintendo Museum opens October 2nd, celebrating Nintendo's history from playing cards to gaming giant. Visitors are challenged to find the Pikachu Poké Lid! For more on the museum, see our related article.
