The Pokémon Local Acts initiative installs 9 Chansey-themed “Poké Lid” manhole covers

2022 has been a great year for the Pokémon Local Acts initiative, and the organization is not quite done yet because today we have word that 9 more Chansey-themed manhole covers will be making their way to Japan’s Fukushima prefecture very soon!

This organization’s goal is to beautify certain areas of Japan, while also attracting tourists to areas. One of the big efforts of the PLA has been replacing manhole covers with covers that spotlight Pokémon, and it’s been a great success so far. You can see a gallery of all of the new designs below, and visitors to the local area can see them in person after their installation throughout December 2022!
