I went to the Pokemon Center in New York about 2 years ago on our "first annual road trip to New Jersey". Since I really didn't want to go to this party my parents were attending, I convinced them to let me spend some time at the Pokemon Center to make up for it. >D
Ehm... let's all praise my wonderful sense of direction. I got the address beforehand and we got to New York. After a LONG time driving around trying to figure out where we were (there are too many one way streets, lmao), my mom eventually dropped my dad, brother and I off at a street corner. After about an hour of randomly walking around trying to get our bearings, I noticed a sign on the back of a bench. It had a map and, lo and behold, the Center was right down the adjoining street. XD And sadly, at the end of that street was more or less where my mom dropped us off. o_O
I could only get my talking Pichu plushie because everything was so expensive. ;_; (American $ > Canadian $ ._.)
