Pokémon TCG Pocket has stirred a mix of reactions among fans. While the trading feature has been a point of contention, the game itself has been well-received as a digital platform for the beloved trading card game. However, if you're eager to show your support through merchandise, you might be in for a disappointment.

Exciting news for fans in Japan: official Pokémon TCG Pocket merchandise is now available exclusively through the Japan Pokémon Center site. Unfortunately, a quick look at the international version of the site shows that these items are not yet available globally. There's a glimmer of hope, though, as they might soon be released worldwide.

For those feeling down about missing out, let's take a closer look at what Japan-based fans can get their hands on. The merchandise lineup includes unique items such as 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 not uncommon for Japan to receive exclusive fan merchandise and events, leaving international fans on the sidelines. From limited-time pop-up shops to themed cafes, many anime, manga, and gaming enthusiasts have missed out on these unique experiences.

Given the popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, there's a good chance that this exclusive merchandise could eventually make its way to international markets. This could be great news for those looking for the perfect stocking fillers for the Pokémon fan in their life.
