Hi, I’m 10e, a barista who loves Japanese movies and anime.
Attention, Pokémon Trainers! Fans in southern Taiwan won’t need to make a special trip to Taipei this time, because the "Pokémon Center POP-UP STORE" is coming to Kaohsiung!
Bringing together a wide selection of original Pokémon Center merchandise, the limited-time store will run from Friday, November 13 through Sunday, November 22 at the 10th floor of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Kaohsiung Zuoying Store. Along with plenty of exclusive Pokémon Center goods, the venue will feature special visuals celebrating Pokémon’s 30th anniversary. Pokémon fans won’t want to miss this chance to check it out.
The key art for this Pokémon Center POP-UP STORE ties directly into Pokémon’s 30th anniversary celebration.
Starter Pokémon from every generation are assembled for the occasion—and yes, 10e’s favorite, Lucario, is here too—filling the pop-up store with Pokémon nostalgia. No matter which generation first made you a Trainer, you’re bound to spot some familiar faces.
Of course, merchandise is one of the biggest attractions at any Pokémon Center POP-UP STORE.
The store will carry a broad assortment of original Pokémon Center products, including plush toys, Pokémon TCG products, lifestyle goods, mascot collectibles, and commemorative merchandise originally released for the opening of Pokémon Center TAIPEI.
Simply put, if you love collecting Pokémon merchandise, this Kaohsiung pop-up should be well worth a visit.
Shopping isn’t the only reason to stop by, either. The event has another small bonus waiting for visitors.
Trainers who visit the Pokémon Center POP-UP STORE can use the mobile version of "Pokémon HOME" to claim a special commemorative visit medal.
Claiming one is easy:
First, visit the pop-up store and locate the designated medal counter. Open the mobile version of "Pokémon HOME," then select "Medals" → "Obtain" → "NFC Scan." Finally, hold your phone near the dedicated panel at the counter to receive the medal.
The medal can be claimed once per day, with two identical copies issued each time.
The medal available at the Kaohsiung pop-up is different from the one offered at Pokémon Center TAIPEI, so Trainers can collect both designs separately.
