As an addendum to my last post, and bearing in mind the anniversary of the Tohoku earthquake a mere two days ago, consider the following images taken of the next station immediately downline from Kesennuma on the Ofunato line. The first, of Shishiori-Karakuwa Station, was taken in 2005 and the second, six years later in 2011, following the cataclysm. Over 2,500 people are still unaccounted for. Cuteness aside, nobody should begrudge these folks a visit by a Pokemon to raise their spirits.
