Pokémon TCG Pocket Merch Launches Exclusively in Japan

Pokémon TCG Pocket has made waves since its release, offering players a digital way to experience the thrill of the beloved Trading Card Game. While reactions have been mixed—especially regarding the flawed trading feature—the game itself is widely regarded as a solid and enjoyable adaptation. But now, for fans looking to take their passion offline, there’s some exciting news—and a few limitations—to consider.

Exclusive Pokémon TCG Pocket Merchandise Now Available

The Pokémon Company has launched a special lineup of exclusive merchandise tied to *Pokémon TCG Pocket*. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, this collection is only available to shoppers in Japan via the official Japanese Pokémon Center website. A quick check of the international Pokémon Center site reveals no trace of these items—at least not yet.

So what kind of goodies are Japan-based fans getting their hands on? Let’s dive into the list:

• Paper Theatre Pieces: Mini 3D diorama-style sets that resemble actual cards from the game.
• Smartphone Shoulder Straps: Stylish accessories perfect for showing off your love for the game on the go.
• Keychains: Compact and collectible ways to keep Pokémon TCG Pocket close.
• Sacoche Bag: Featuring an interior lining printed with the iconic Pikachu EX immersive card art—functional fashion for any fan.

Japan Leads the Way (Again)

It’s no secret that Japan often gets first dibs on niche or limited-edition merchandise related to popular franchises. From pop-up cafes to exclusive events, fans outside the country are all too familiar with missing out. However, given the global popularity of both the Pokémon franchise and *TCG Pocket*, there's reason to hope these items may eventually become available internationally.

If you're searching for unique gift ideas for the Pokémon enthusiast in your life, these items could make excellent stocking stuffers or collector’s pieces down the line—assuming they do go global.
