In a special announcement for Pokémon enthusiasts and Trading Card Game (TCG) collectors, The Pokémon Company has revealed the release of three exclusive Pokémon TCG box sets, each celebrating the recent renovations of iconic Pokémon Center locations across Japan.

The commemorative sets will honor Pokémon Center Tohoku, Pokémon Center Hiroshima, and Pokémon Center Fukuoka—three flagship sites that have become destinations for both local fans and international visitors. These limited-edition box sets, available only through a lottery system on the official Pokémon Center Online store, exemplify The Pokémon Company's continuous efforts to engage their dedicated Japanese community while marking memorable milestones in the franchise’s retail history.

Starting today, fans can enter the online lottery for an opportunity to purchase one of the coveted box sets. Each Pokémon Center-themed box set includes exclusive card sleeves, deck holders, and a specially designed Pikachu card.

Every element in the collection has been carefully crafted to reflect the unique identity and local charm of its respective Pokémon Center.

For example: - The Pokémon Center Tohoku set features distinct regional artwork and motifs tied to the Tohoku area's iconography. - The Pokémon Center Hiroshima set highlights the famed city’s imagery and is expected to be a popular item among fans of the site’s Magikarp and Pikachu mascot pairing. - The Pokémon Center Fukuoka set includes sleeve designs and card artwork that pay tribute to the vibrant culture of Fukuoka. A spokesperson for The Pokémon Company stated in a prepared release, "We are thrilled to commemorate the reopening of these important Pokémon Center locations with uniquely themed trading card game box sets.

These products embody the connection between the local communities and the beloved world of Pokémon." The distribution method via a lottery system is designed to ensure fairness and equal opportunity, given the high demand for exclusive Pokémon Center merchandise.

Entrants can register their interest directly through the Pokémon Center Online store, the company’s official eCommerce platform dedicated to providing exclusive products to fans in Japan. The Pokémon Center brand, managed by The Pokémon Company, has played a significant role in the growth of Pokémon’s global merchandising strategy since its inception.

With each regional renovation, The Pokémon Company continues to enhance the in-store fan experience, while special releases such as these TCG box sets reinforce the connection between physical locations and the broader Pokémon community. Fans interested in acquiring these exclusive sets should visit the Pokémon Center Online store for further details regarding the lottery entry period and eligibility.

As The Pokémon TCG continues to reach new sales milestones and grow its worldwide player base, collectors can expect demand for these unique commemorative sets to be exceptionally high.
