Since the release of the originalPokemongames, beloved Electric-type Pokemon Pikachu has become one of the most iconic video game mascots of all time, so much so that the city of Yokohama now runs the Pikachu Outbreak festival. This festival fills the streets with Pikachu and runs a variety of Pokemon-themed events, and one luckyPokemon GOplayer is going to have the chance to go along courtesy of mobile provider Sprint.
As it turns out, Sprint is running a competition forPokemon GOplayers, with the grand prize being a five night trip to Yokohama with up to three guests and $6,250 worth of gift cards. The winner will be flown out to Japan to witness the Pikachu Outbreak festival first-hand, which is no doubt an alluring prospect for anyPokemonfan.
The competition comes courtesy of theSprint Trainer Rewards Program, and is open to any trainer who signs up to the program itself. Simply head on over to thecompetition pageand enter. Although the rewards program is generally used to incentivize the use of Sprint locations when playingPokemon GO, trainers do not need to use a Sprint device in order to enter the competition.
Although the grand prize is the trip to the Pikachu Outbreak festival itself, there are several other runner-up prizes that are worth looking into. Other entries could come away with an iPhone 7, an Apple Watch, or Amazon Gift cards. The competition runs from now until July 7, so there’s plenty of time to get that registration in.
This is not the only time that Sprint has taken an active interest in thePokemon GOcommunity, either. Alongside the trainer rewards program itself, Sprint has also run other events, with the mobile provider most recentlygiving away promo codes for lucky eggs, great balls, and more at various Sprint stores.
