Pokémon TCG Pocket Merch Launched Exclusively in Japan

Pokémon TCG Pocket has stirred a mix of emotions among fans. While the trading feature didn't quite hit the mark, the digital adaptation of this beloved trading card game has been well-received overall. However, if you're eager to show your fandom through merchandise, you might find yourself out of luck for now.

Exciting new official merchandise for Pokémon TCG Pocket has been released, but there's a catch: it's exclusively available in Japan through the official Pokémon Center site. A quick check on the international site shows no signs of these items yet, but there's a hopeful whisper that they might eventually be available worldwide.

For those feeling the sting of missing out, let's take a moment to appreciate what Japan-based fans have access to. The merchandise includes intriguing desk accessories like paper theatre pieces, which are mini 3D dioramas resembling cards, smartphone shoulder straps, keychains, and a Sacoche with an interior lining featuring the Pikachu EX immersive card art.

It's no secret that Japan often enjoys a larger slice of the fandom pie, with exclusive pop-up shops, themed cafes, and other events that international fans can only dream of attending. Given the global popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, there's a good chance these exclusive items might make their way to international markets. This could be great news for those looking for unique gifts for the Pokémon enthusiast in their life.
