Pokémon Co. shares Growlithe animated short to celebrate the opening of Pokémon Center Okinawa

Just a few hours back, we shared a ton of photos and footage from the grand opening of Pokémon Center Okinawa. Pokémon Co. put together quite a celebration to welcome the newest Pokémon Center, but they didn’t stop there. Pokémon Co. has also released a new animated short in honor of Pokémon Center Okinawa opening its doors, and you can check it out above.

The 4-minute short spotlights Growlithe, and here’s a bit of a warning for you. The short is a little bit of a tear-jerker depending on how easily you’re moved, so you might want to grab some tissues before watching! It’s nothing that’s going to ruin your entire month, but it might make you well up a tiny bit!
