But the excitement doesn't stop there – Pokémon fans are in for a major treat, as Tokyo is set to welcome its first-ever permanent outdoor Pokémon attraction in spring 2026. PokéPark Kanto will take over an expansive 26,000sqm space at Yomiuriland in the western suburbs and will feature a Pokémon Center, Trainers' Market, Gym, Pokémon Mart, Sedge Town area, and a 'Pokémon Forest' home to over 600 pocket monsters.

Here, you'll be able to observe a wide variety of Pokémon in the wild. Another exciting area is Sedge Town, home to a Pokémon Center, Poké Market, Gym and Trainers' Market, where you can shop for exclusive merchandise. You'll also be able to catch a Disneyland-style Pokémon parade here, along with two other attractions.

Nottingham Forest's remarkable Morgan Gibbs-White tactic to block Tottenham transfer
Nottingham Forest have blocked Tottenham's attempts to sign Morgan Gibbs-White after accusing them of making an illegal approach for the England international. Nottingham Forest are so unhappy with Tottenham's approach for Morgan Gibbs-White that they would rather sell him to a rival than let him join Spurs. Tottenham thought they were set to sign the England international after matching his £60million release clause earlier this month. However, Forest reacted furiously and accused Spurs of making an illegal approach for Gibbs-White, writing a letter of complaint to both Tottenham and the Premier League. The deal has stalled as a result and Gibbs-White's future remains up in the air. According to a new report from the Daily Mail, Forest would prefer to 'sell to him to a rival club' instead of Spurs. The report states that Forest were open to letting Gibbs-White leave as he was 'resisting' the club's attempts to get him to sign a new deal. However, they have been left 'unhappy with how Spurs handled their approach' and it remains to be seen whether any other clubs will make a move for the 25-year-old. Manchester City were interested in Gibbs-White earlier this summer, but they ended up signing Rayan Cherki from Lyon instead. A separate report from talkSPORT claims that Gibbs-White informed Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis that he would 'only leave the City Ground for a certain level of club' and the Greek businessman does not believe that Spurs are in that category. The report adds that Tottenham could still resurrect the deal, but Gibbs-White did return to action for Forest in their pre-season friendly against Monaco on Saturday. He has not travelled with the squad for their pre-season tour of Portugal due to a "personal matter". Forest, meanwhile, are among a host of clubs weighing up a move for James McAtee, who captained England to victory at the Under-21 Euros last month. West Ham, Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt are also said to be interested in the 22-year-old. McAtee featured 27 times across all competitions for City last season but just nine of those were starts and, with his contract due to expire in 2026, manager Pep Guardiola has admitted the player is likely to leave the Etihad this summer. "I didn't allow him to play minutes so I cannot ask anything from the players who don't play a lot of minutes," Guardiola said in April. "They could do better? No. Macca has this quality, the ability to create. "He is there. The game worked better against Palace, you create chances. Macca close to the box is quite similar to Phil. They are there, a sense. It's difficult to train, to make that movement because the ball is coming. If he plays minutes he will score. "For the age, I'd like him to stay. But I understand the players want more minutes. I would like him to stay, he's a player for the academy, he knows the patterns. He's a lovely person and trained really good. He can play different positions but I don't know how the squad will be and we will see."

8 Asian destinations added to the Unesco World Heritage List
Once degraded by tin mining, Forest Research Institute Park (FRIM) near Kuala Lumpur now hosts rehabilitated rainforest, scientific labs and public trails. It stands as Unesco‑recognised evidence of ecological restoration as heritage. 3. Mount Kumgang, Diamond Mountain from the Sea, North Korea A mixed cultural‑natural entry, Mount Kumgang combines soaring granite peaks with historic Buddhist hermitages and living traditions dating to the fifth century. Its designation emphasises intangible spiritual value within a dramatic landscape. 4. Petroglyphs along the Bangucheon Stream, South Korea Rock engravings from circa 5,000 BCE to the 9th century CE by Ulsan's prehistoric communities were inscribed under the Unesco criteria for pre‑history. The pictorial whales, human shapes and abstract symbols reveal a multi‑millennial visual tradition. 5. Cultural Heritage Sites of Ancient Khuttal, Tajikistan The Ancient Khuttal sites span 11 locations across Tajikistan's Khatlon region. These include the palace of Qalai Hulbuk, the Buddhist site of Ajina‑Teppa with its reclining Buddha, caravanserais, mausolea and fortified towns like Kafyr‑Kala. Once a key hub on the Silk Road from the 7th to 16th century, Khuttal reflects centuries of cultural exchange through its architecture, planning and religious diversity. 6. Xixia Imperial Tombs, China Above China's Xixia Imperial Tombs were officially added to the Unesco World Heritage List on July 11 during the 47th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Paris, France. (Photo: Yuan Hongyan / VCG / Getty Images) Nestled in the Helan Mountain foothills in Ningxia, an autonomous region in northwestern China, these necropolises were built by the Tangut rulers of the Xixia Dynasty (1038—1227 CE). The site includes nine imperial mausolea, 271 attendant tombs and flood‑control works, illustrating buried dynastic ritual and Silk Road cultural fusion. 7. Yen Tu-Vinh Nghiem-Con Son, Kiep Bac Complex, Vietnam Encompassing 20 sites across forests and rivers, this complex is the birthplace of Trúc Lâm Zen Buddhism, rooted in 13th‑century Tran Dynasty devotion. Temples, shrines and hilltop pagodas remain active pilgrimage destinations, merging spiritual and historical significance recognised by Unesco. 8. Maratha Military Landscapes, India Twelve forts across Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, including Raigad, Vijayadurg and Gingee, have been inscribed as Unesco cultural heritage. Dating from the 17th to 19th centuries, they reflect Maratha military planning and architectural innovation, now India's 44th Unesco listing. Each addition reflects Unesco's evolving definition of heritage. The Cambodian memorials confront recent atrocities head-on within Unesco's frameworks, usually reserved for ancient sites. The Indian forts reframe military infrastructure as cultural storytelling. Meanwhile, Korea's petroglyphs, China's mausolea and Vietnam's Zen landscape underscore intangible cultural continuity tied to place. Unesco appears intent on expanding its remit beyond classical beauty into lived history and landscapes shaped by belief or resistance.

Morgan Gibbs-White transfer: Tottenham issue remains after Nottingham Forest's response
Tottenham's pursuit of Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White has stalled with the player now featuring in pre-season and his club considering legal action despite his release clause being met Tottenham's pursuit of Morgan Gibbs-White has slowed down after Nottingham Forest were left fuming by their approach for the player - who is continuing to play for them during pre-season. It looked as if the north Londoners were going to get their man after matching the £60million release clause in his contract. Forest were frustrated that the confidential figure in his deal was met by Tottenham and reacted angrily, threatening legal action. The progress of any potential deal has stalled and Gibbs-White played for Forest in their friendly against Monaco this weekend. He was due to be part of the Forest squad that went to Portugal for a pre-season camp this week, but did not travel at the start of the week for personal reasons, reports the Athletic. Gibbs-White's team-mate Ola Aina recently said: 'At the end of the day, we're all professionals - we've got a job to do and that's what Morgan is doing right now. He's keeping it professional." Forest maintain they never gave Spurs permission to speak to Gibbs-White, who is thought to be keen on a move to north London. They are considering legal action regarding Tottenham's interest and want to see whether a confidentiality agreement regarding his release clause has been breached. Forest have already lost Antony Elanga, who moved to Newcastle for more than £50m, and will be loathed to lose another of their key attacking weapons in Gibbs-White. The club's impressive season was always going to see their top players attract attention from rivals. The City Ground outfit do appear to be making moves should they lose Gibbs-White with Manchester City star James McAtee identified as a target. Several clubs are keen on the playmaker, who is valued at £35m, with Forest potentially advancing their interest in the days ahead, reports the Telegraph. Tottenham meanwhile have already spent £55m to sign Mohamed Kudus from West Ham with new manager Thomas Frank wanting more forwards to arrive in the capital. Spurs have also been linked ex-Fulham star Joao Palhinha. The 30-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder is available this summer, but the Premier League's side preference would be for a loan rather than a permanent move. Mathys Tel's loan move from Bayern Munich has also been made permanent.
