The Pokémon TCG Pocket has stirred a mixed reaction among fans. While the trading feature has been criticized, the digital adaptation of the popular trading card game has been generally well-received. However, if you're eager to showcase your enthusiasm through merchandise, you might find yourself disappointed.
The good news is that official Pokémon TCG Pocket merchandise is now available. The catch? It's currently exclusive to Japan and can only be purchased through the official Pokémon Center website in the country. A quick look at the international site reveals that these items are not yet available globally, though there's hope they might become accessible worldwide soon.
For those feeling down about missing out, let's take a closer look at what Japan-based fans have to enjoy:

The lineup features delightful desk accessories such as paper theatre pieces, which are mini 3D dioramas resembling cards, smartphone shoulder straps, keychains, and a Sacoche with an interior lining showcasing the Pikachu EX immersive card art.

Given the popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, there's a chance these items could eventually be released internationally. This could be exciting news for those looking for unique gifts for the Pokémon enthusiasts in their lives.
