It’s time to grab some Pokéballs and prepare yourself for an adventure with Pokémon when it takes over Resorts World Genting this Christmas 2018 and Chinese New Year 2019. From 1 December 2018 to 28 February 2019, the Pokémon Festival @ Resorts World Genting will bring the colourful creatures from Nintendo’s best-selling videogame series 6,000 feet above sea level to frolic, play and captivate guests with their amazing powers and adorable nature.

Continuing the long tradition of live Pokémon events worldwide – including the annual Pikachu Outbreak in Yokohama– the Pokémon Festival @ Resorts World Genting will be a collection of events big and small taking place under the roof of the resort for three months. Loveable pocket monsters that have become pop culture icons like Pikachu, Eevee, Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander will be displaying in the malls of Resorts World Genting, along with dozens of other Pokémon species to celebrate Christmas and usher in 2019 Chinese New Year.

The aim of the Pokémon videogame is to become a master Pokémon trainer, and the Pokémon Festival @ Resorts World Genting allows you to live out this goal in real life. With the Pokémon Trainer programme, budding trainers can receive a trainer book from four specific Pokémon Trainer Stops set up across the mall. With this precious book in hand, the newly-empowered Pokémon Trainers can tackle various missions and quests spread across the resort, from snapping photos with rare Pokémon to solving challenging puzzles; once the training is complete, trainers can present their finished trainer book to receive a set of 8 limited edition Pokémon stickers from Resort World Genting’s special Pokémon Pop-Up store. Different missions will be available for Christmas and Chinese New Year, allowing Pokémon Trainers to catch ‘em all, twice!

The Pokémon Pop-Up store is located at Level 3 of SkyAvenue Mall, the store will feature a huge array of premium merchandise and memorabilia imported directly from the Pokémon Centre in Tokyo, Japan. It’s the perfect place to pick up a present for Christmas or prepare for the festivities of Chinese New Year for lovers of Pokémon. At Vision City, make sure you collect all different Pokémon TRETTA chips & get limited free tretta chips from Pokémon Pop-Up Store on a first come, first served basis.

Additionally, the lofty halls of the SkyAtrium in SkyAvenue Mall have been transformed into a Santorini-inspired village, decorated with sparkling lights and snow-covered trees. The smell of gingerbread and spices will fill the air, as guests explore this special Genting Christmas Santorini Village to indulge in Christmas treats and hunt for the perfect Christmas present for their family and loved ones, with special offers and merchandise from Resorts World Genting and its retail partners such as Crabtree & Evelyn, Pandora, Taste of Asia, Love18, Tomei and Lovely Lace.

This year, Resorts World Genting is taking a Mediterranean theme to its Christmas celebration with a Wintry Santorini above the Clouds from 28 November 2018 to 1 January 2019. Specifically, to the island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea, where houses with brilliant whitewashes walls, deep blue-domed roofs and graceful windmills hugging steep cliffs have become an iconic picture of Greece. That scene is now transported almost halfway across the globe and up a mountain to Resorts World Genting, where the serene Santorini vibe is mingled with twinkling Christmas trees, golden bells and festive garlands for a unique white coastal Christmas.
