Taiwan's first **Pokémon Center** grandly opened at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A11 in Taipei's Xinyi District late last year, drawing massive crowds eager to purchase the numerous exclusive merchandise items that continue to fuel endless demand.
In Japan, Pokémon Centers are pilgrimage sites for Pokémon fans across the country. Recently, **Pokémon Center Nagoya** announced its relocation from its old site and a complete renovation into a brand-new look. Today (9/6), the official reveal of the planned design was made. The new store's interior design is inspired by Nagoya's cityscapes, which harmonize with nature. The main theme will feature Grass-type Pokémon like Celebi as its emblem, and the store is set to reopen on October 12th.
The new **Pokémon Center Nagoya** store will be located on the 2nd floor of Nagoya PARCO East Building. Its most prominent feature is a Nagoya streetscape backdrop, with Pikachu and Celebi welcoming visitors. A golden Magikarp statue will be placed in the center of the store as its treasured centerpiece.
The Pokémon Center will also include a **Pokémon Trading Card Game** (PTCG) play area, allowing players to gather and interact.
The promotional illustration for the new store is based on Nagoya's streets, depicting Pokémon frolicking in the city, led by Celebi, symbolizing Nagoya's urban vision of coexistence with nature.
Exclusive opening merchandise for Pokémon Center Nagoya has also been revealed, including a large Celebi plush holding purple petals, and Pikachu plushies holding Nagoya's specialty dishes like Ogura Toast.
Also available are ceramic jars themed after the golden Magikarp displayed in the store, along with plates and cups featuring the main theme.
Furthermore, a very special collaboration with **Komeda Coffee**, originating from Nagoya, will offer merchandise such as Alcremie dessert plushies, collaboration cushions, stainless steel mugs, glass bottles, coin purses, and more. This is truly a rare and exciting collaboration!
For those planning to travel to Nagoya after October, consider making a pilgrimage to the brand-new **Pokémon Center Nagoya**. The new store and its exclusive merchandise are sure to be a delightful drain on your wallet.
