Pokémon TCG Pocket has stirred a variety of reactions within the trading card game community. While the trading feature has been a point of contention, the digital adaptation of this beloved TCG has been widely praised. Fans looking to show their support through merchandise, however, may find themselves facing a challenge.

The official merchandise for Pokémon TCG Pocket is now available, but there's a catch—it's exclusively offered in Japan through the official Pokémon Center website. A quick check on the international site shows no sign of these items, though there's a hopeful whisper that they might soon be available worldwide.

For those feeling the sting of missing out, let's take a closer look at what Japan-based fans can get their hands on.

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

From limited-time pop-up shops and themed cafes to other unique experiences, fans outside Japan often find themselves on the sidelines. However, given the global popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, there's a chance these items could make their way to international markets. This could be the perfect opportunity to find new stocking fillers for the Pokémon enthusiast in your life.
