The Pokémon Company has confirmed that Pokémon Center Bangkok will open in December 2026, marking a continued expansion of the franchise's official retail presence overseas.
The company released a preview image and an official logo for the store, which features the Mythical Pokémon Shaymin as the mascot.
According to The Pokémon Company, the new outlet will be the third permanent Pokémon Center located outside Japan.
The company shared the opening month and the Shaymin-branded logo as part of its announcement, offering the first official look at Bangkok’s retail design and branding ahead of the launch.

The brand’s physical stores have historically complemented the broader Pokémon ecosystem, which includes core game releases developed by Game Freak and distributed in partnership with Nintendo.
Pokémon mainline titles such as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet released on Nintendo Switch in November 2022, and the franchise frequently uses Nintendo’s channels—like Nintendo Direct—to communicate major game news while making titles available on the Nintendo eShop.
In its announcement about the Bangkok location, The Pokémon Company emphasized the store’s visual identity by noting the choice of Shaymin, a Mythical Pokémon, as the mascot for the official logo and preview imagery.
The company’s statement framed the opening as part of its ongoing effort to bring official retail experiences to global Pokémon fans.
Fans and industry observers can expect The Pokémon Company to provide additional details—such as exact opening dates, store hours, and merchandise lists—closer to December 2026.
For verified updates, The Pokémon Company’s official channels remain the primary source of information.
The Bangkok store joins a broader network of Pokémon Centers that support the franchise’s physical merchandising and fan engagement efforts worldwide.
As the opening approaches, collectors and Nintendo ecosystem followers should monitor official Pokémon and Nintendo communications for further announcements about exclusive products, launch events, and any tie-ins with upcoming Pokémon game releases on Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo eShop.
