Pokémon TCG Pocket has stirred a mixed bag of reactions among fans since its launch. While the trading feature has been a point of contention, the digital adaptation of the beloved trading card game has generally been well-received for its engaging gameplay. However, for those looking to show their enthusiasm through official merchandise, there's a catch—it's exclusively available in Japan.
The official Pokémon TCG Pocket merchandise became available over the weekend, but only through the Japan Pokémon Center site. A quick check on the international version of the site shows no signs of these items, though there's a possibility they could become available worldwide in the future.
For those feeling left out, let's take a closer look at what Japan-based fans have to enjoy:
Mercandise Highlights: The lineup includes unique items such as paper theatre pieces, which are mini 3D dioramas reminiscent of cards, smartphone shoulder straps, keychains, and a Sacoche featuring interior lining with Pikachu EX immersive card art. These desk fillers and accessories are perfect for any Pokémon enthusiast.
It's not uncommon for Japan to receive exclusive fan merchandise and experiences, from limited-time pop-up shops to themed cafes, leaving international fans on the sidelines. However, given the widespread popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, there's hope that these items might eventually make their way to global markets, providing new and exciting gift options for Pokémon fans around the world.
