This mall is a Pokemon Gym so it turned its lobby into a Pokemon Arena. [1] from gaming [2]

For many of us, the creation of Pokémon Go [3] let our childhood dreams come true: to catch Pokémon in real life. Colonie Center mall [4] 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 [5], 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 [6] come battle and to hold Pokémon Go events [7]. Check out the video below to see the arena get set up.
