Pokémon TCG Pocket has stirred a mixed bag of reactions among fans. While the trading feature has been a notable disappointment, the game itself has been widely appreciated as a fantastic digital platform for the beloved Trading Card Game. However, if you're eager to show your fandom through exclusive merchandise, you might find yourself out of luck—for now.

The official merchandise for Pokémon TCG Pocket is now available, but there's a catch: it's exclusively accessible in Japan via the Pokémon Center's website. A quick look at the international site shows no signs of these items yet, though there's hope they might eventually be released worldwide.

If you're feeling down about missing out, take a look at what Japan-based fans are getting to enjoy:

Merchandise Highlights: The lineup includes unique desk items like paper theatre pieces—mini 3D dioramas that mimic the look of cards—alongside smartphone shoulder straps, keychains, and a Sacoche featuring an interior lining with Pikachu EX immersive card art.

It's no secret that Japan often enjoys a greater variety of fan-centric products and events, from limited-time pop-up shops to themed cafes, leaving fans outside the country feeling left out. However, given the widespread appeal of Pokémon TCG Pocket, there's a good chance these items could make their way to international markets. This could be great news for those looking for unique gifts for the Pokémon enthusiast in their life.
