Pokebar Pokemon Pop-Up Organizers Cancel the Monster Burger Bar in Midtown, Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"A planned Pokémon-themed pop-up that relied on franchise branding was forced to rebrand after organizers failed to secure permission from Nintendo, prompting mass cancellations of scheduled events nationwide. The takeover had been slated as a day-long party at Tavernpointe in Midtown on October 26, with other dates in New York, Austin, Miami and Denver also affected. Ticket holders in Atlanta were notified via Eventbrite and given the option of a full refund or transferring to a proposed February relaunch, but the organizers ultimately canceled the relaunched event entirely, saying the rebrand did not deliver the same quality as the original; anyone who kept their tickets will receive full refunds." - Beth McKibben
