Despite most aspects of daily living slowly moving back to normality, the virus is still very much a factor across various industries. Since February, <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-company-cancels-events-coronavirus\/\">The Pokemon Company has been dealing with the pandemic<\/a>\u00a0with its most recent\u00a0measure being to temporarily shutdown a beloved store.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/the-pokemon-company\/\">The Pokemon Company<\/a> confirmed that the Pokemon Center in Hiroshima is closing as of today, August 16. The official Japanese Pokemon Twitter account announced this measure as a precaution due to an employee within the branch testing positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-go-spending-revenue-2020\/\">Pokemon GO Player Spending Reaches Highest Peak Since 2016<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Hiroshima Pokemon Center, which opened in 2015 and has Shiny Gyarados as its mascot, will remain closed indefinitely according to the post. The store has become a necessary visit for any Pokemon fan the world over when travelling to Japan. It is one of the 14 Pokemon Centers scattered around\u00a0the country and is considered one of the best according to\u00a0visitors. However, Japan\u00a0is not the only country to hold an entire store dedicated to one of Nintendo&#8217;s most successful\u00a0franchises.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pokemon_cojp\/status\/1294624145628520448\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Last year saw a new expansion for the store chain when <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-center-london\/\">a Pokemon Center opened in London<\/a>\u00a0in celebration of the <em>Pokemon Sword and Shield<\/em> launch. The timing was likely due to the connection of <em>Pokemon Sword <\/em>and<em> Shield<\/em>&#8216;s Galar region being based on the UK in terms of geography and style.<\/p>\n<p>The Pokemon Center of Hiroshima closing is another reminder that the COVID-19 pandemic is still very much ongoing and still affects the gaming industry through numerous avenues. The pandemic caused the delay of numerous games earlier this year and continues the domino effect as more\u00a0studios adapt to remote work. Square Enix confirmed that while <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/final-fantasy-7-remake-part-2-development-update\/\"><em>Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2<\/em> is in active development<\/a>, COVID-19 has\u00a0impacted the project as more staff work from home.<\/p>\n<p>While the pandemic has hit the Pokemon Company in certain ways, it has also served as a\u00a0means for boosting player engagement. Gamers pondered how <em>Pokemon GO<\/em>\u00a0would adapt to mandates of lockdown variations across the globe with some speculating that players would drop away from the game. Yet, the mobile game has seen a massive resurgence in investment as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/pokemon-go-record-breaking-year-2020\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Pokemon GO<\/em>\u00a0is having a record breaking year<\/a>\u00a0in 2020 despite the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>For <em>Pokemon<\/em> fans in Hiroshima, it is unknown when they will be able to visit the Pokefan&#8217;s paradise, which features a long range of <em>Pokemon<\/em> items.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-skateboards-limited-official\/\">The Pokemon Company Reveals Incredible Pokemon-Themed Skateboards<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source: Translation via <a href=\"https:\/\/nintendosoup.com\/pokemon-center-hiroshima-temporarily-closed-after-employee-tests-positive-with-coronavirus\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NintendoSoup<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, The Pokemon Company has been forced to close down a popular store in Japan due to a positive test.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":358,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Japanese Pokemon Center Closes After Employee Tests Positive for COVID-19 - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, The Pokemon Company has been forced to close down a popular store in Japan due to a positive test."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55019"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/358"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55019"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55020,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55019\/revisions\/55020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
