This Mall Had the Genius Idea of Turning Its Lobby Into a Pokémon Arena

For many of us, the creation of Pokémon Go let our childhood dreams come true: to catch Pokémon in real life. Colonie Center mall just furthered our fantasies and turned its lobby into a Pokémon arena.

According to a Reddit post by user PolarDorsai, the Albany, NY, mall was a Pokémon Gym, so it only made sense to embrace it and lure in more customers (smart move). The arena features a large Pokéball floor decal and hanging team flags. Although it's not the fanciest thing, it's cool enough to make aspiring Pokémon masters come battle and to hold Pokémon Go events. Check out the video below to see the arena get set up.
