One of the most beloved cornerstones of the greater Pokémon franchise is the Trading Card Game. While in recent years it has become increasingly difficult to obtain the cards themselves, such as the most recent expansion, there is a good alternative in the form of TCG Pocket. TCG Pocket is the virtual equivalent of the physical TCG, which receives its own sets and has become vastly popular since its release. In fact, it is so popular that it has come full circle and received physical merchandise of its own!
In an announcement made on the Japanese Pokémon website, a new line of merchandise themed around TCG Pocket is on its way next month. The collection includes paper theater Pokémon cards, a Pikachu EX shoulder bag, a Pack Hourglass keychain, a phone shoulder strap, and three sticker pouches. The items will be coming to the Japanese Pokémon Center Online on April 3rd, with physical locations receiving them on April 5th.
As of writing this, it is not yet known if this collection will be available outside of Japan. The English Pokémon Center website hasn’t listed anything yet, so it’s hard to say for sure. If anything here seems particularly interesting, be sure to keep an eye out next week as the release date approaches!
