Pikachu and Eevee will once again fly through the streets of New York this Thursday:
Pikachu and Eevee will once again appear in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Pokemon Company confirmed that it would participate in the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, with Pikachu and Eevee returning on their Poke Ball-inspired sled. This marks the 22nd consecutive appearance for the Pokemon franchise in the parade. Eevee made its first appearance in the parade last year, joining Pikachu's traditional romp through the streets of New York City.
The Pokemon Company traditionally uses the parade as an easy way to promote its various products ahead of the holiday season. This year, Nintendo released Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, a pair of new Pokemon games set in the brand new Paldea region. Not only do the games feature over 100 new Pokemon, they also are the first true"open world" Pokemon games, although the games seem to suffer from graphical and performance issues related to the much larger map that players can explore.
We'll note that last weekend, mascot versions of Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly, the Starter Pokemon of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, made appearances at Nintendo's NYC retail store. While not confirmed for an appearance at the parade, it wouldn't be surprising to see them stomping through the parade to promote the new games as well.
