Pokémon TCG Pocket Merch Now Available in Japan

Pokémon TCG Pocket, the digital adaptation of the popular trading card game, has stirred a variety of reactions from fans. While the trading feature has been a point of contention, the game has been widely praised for its engaging digital gameplay. However, fans eager to show their support through official merchandise might find themselves at a disadvantage.

Currently, exclusive Pokémon TCG Pocket merchandise is available, but only in Japan through the official Pokémon Center website. The international version of the site does not yet list these items, though there's optimism that they might become available globally soon.

For those feeling left out, here's a glimpse of what Japan-based fans can get their hands on:

Merchandise Highlights: The lineup boasts unique items like paper theatre pieces, which are essentially mini 3D dioramas reminiscent of the cards themselves, along with smartphone shoulder straps, keychains, and a Sacoche featuring the interior lining printed with the Pikachu EX immersive card art.

It's not uncommon for Japan to receive exclusive fan merchandise and events, leaving international fans to watch from afar. Yet, given the popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, there's hope that these items might eventually reach a global audience, providing new ideas for gifts for the Pokémon enthusiasts in your life.
