The Pokémon TCG Pocket has stirred up a range of reactions among fans. While the trading feature has been a point of contention, the game is widely appreciated for bringing the beloved TCG into the digital realm. However, fans looking to show their support through official merchandise might find themselves out of luck for now.
Exciting news for fans in Japan: exclusive Pokémon TCG Pocket merchandise is now available. Launched over the weekend, these items can be found on the Japan Pokémon Center site. Unfortunately, a quick check on the international site shows that these goodies are not yet available globally, though there's hope they might expand worldwide soon.
For those feeling down about missing out, let's take a closer look at what Japan-based fans are getting their hands on.
Merchandise, ahoy! The lineup features delightful desk accessories such as paper theatre pieces—mini 3D dioramas inspired by cards—alongside smartphone shoulder straps, keychains, and a Sacoche bag with an interior lining showcasing the immersive Pikachu EX card art.
It's no secret that Japan often gets first dibs on exclusive fan merchandise. From limited-time pop-up shops and themed cafes to unique events, fans outside Japan frequently find themselves on the sidelines. However, given the growing popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, there's a good chance these items could make their way internationally. This could be the perfect opportunity to find unique stocking fillers for the Pokémon enthusiast in your life.
