Pokémon TCG Pocket has stirred a mix of emotions among fans. While its trading feature has been a point of contention, the digital adaptation of the popular TCG has been well-received for its engaging gameplay. However, fans eager to show their support through merchandise might feel let down, as the latest exclusive lineup is currently available only in Japan.

The official Pokémon TCG Pocket merchandise went live over the weekend and can be found on the Japan Pokémon Center site. A quick look at the international version of the site shows these items are not yet available globally, though there's hope they might become accessible worldwide soon.

For those feeling a bit down, let's take a look at what Japan-based fans have to enjoy. The merchandise includes unique items like 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.
