Pokémon Center to open in London
- Thread starter Bowser
- Start date
Still waiting on details, but to be clear, the assets specifically reference it being a pop up. It'll likely just be there for a month or so in November for Sword/Shield.
Hopefully it does well enough that they move onto a permanent location though. And hopefully we'll get an online store at last too...

Still, best to wait for full details before saying either way
There was one in Paris in 2014
I'm incredibly excited for this. Less so if it's a pop-up but still will visit and spend a lot of money no doubt.
You can even get an exclusive lego minifig in the Leicester Square Lego Store. Bought 2 of them :D
I do find the lack of any Nintendo store in London a missed trick personally. Because I am in London and am biased.
I'll take a popup Pokemon one for sure though. Hopefully it shows (if) there's a market for one more long-term, even if like NY you go for branding it Nintendo with Pokemon within it. The right location could do very well - cost of any store will be a lot but if you get in the right area, tons of touristy shops, if you can be near Leicester Square, you're near Lego + M&Ms and parents will absolutely hate it.

It's stupid, but it's also consistent with the last 20 years of the games.
I guarantee it's going to be Center in Sword and Shield too, and they're set in Britain.
What? Why did they remove it? So this London one is not permanent either ?
Given the timing, it sounds like it could have been a pop-up to coincide with the X/Y release?
his name is Rich Uncle Pennybags which doesn't have anything to do with anything but i will mention it everytime i can.
The Monopoly man is a New York aristo no? No decent English gentleman would wear a top hat outside of weddings and Ascot..
You're spot on with the tea though.. One sugar please.
