The Pokémon TCG Pocket game has received a mixed response from fans. While its trading feature missed the mark, players generally appreciate it as a solid digital version of the popular card game. But here's the twist - if you were hoping to show your passion with some cool merchandise, there's both good and bad news.
Official Pokémon TCG Pocket merchandise has finally arrived - but there's a catch. These goodies are currently only available in Japan through the Pokémon Center website. International fans scanning the global site won't find them... yet. There's still hope they might expand worldwide soon.
As hard as it is for international fans, let's dive into what Japanese collectors can get their hands on right now.
**Show Me The Merch!** The collection includes unique stationery items like miniature 3D paper theaters (think card-inspired dioramas), stylish smartphone straps, collectible keychains, and a chic Sacoche bag featuring the Pikachu EX card artwork as lining.
This isn't the first time Japanese fans have gotten exclusive access to cool merchandise. Many anime, manga, and gaming fans outside Japan know the frustration of missing out on limited-edition pop-up shops, themed cafes, and special events.
Given Pokémon TCG Pocket's growing popularity worldwide, there's a decent chance these items could eventually make it to international markets. They'd make perfect gifts for the Pokémon enthusiast in your life - fingers crossed they become available globally soon.
