Stepping into a Pokémon Center is like entering a wonderland where every corner holds new adventures and countless cute Pokémon begging to be adopted. While Pikachu’s iconic cheerfulness always draws crowds, there’s a whole new generation of Pokémon and creative merchandise lines waiting to be discovered. This guide will take you through the hottest trends and must-have items from Pokémon Centers across Japan – and show you how to bring these treasures home no matter where you are in the world!

New Generation Stars: Beyond the Classics

The Pokémon universe continues to expand with new characters that are quickly becoming fan favorites. While traditional characters remain popular, these newer Pokémon from recent game generations are stealing the spotlight with their fresh designs and unique personalities.

• Sprigatito, the Grass Cat: With its big, curious eyes and leafy fur details, Sprigatito has become an instant favorite among newer generation collectors. The attention to detail in its plush – from its velvety texture to its mischievous pose – makes it a standout piece on any shelf.

️ Pokémon Center Shopping Experience

Visiting a Pokémon Center, whether in Japan or Singapore, is an experience in itself. The stores are designed to immerse fans in the Pokémon world with colorful displays, giant Pokémon statues, and exclusive merchandise you won’t find anywhere else.

Beyond shopping, it offers photo spots, takeout desserts at the Pikachu Sweets by Pokémon Cafe, and even a Pokémon GO Lab and card game station for battles.

Meanwhile, the Singapore Pokémon Center at Jewel Changi Airport (the only official center in Asia outside Japan) offers unique regional exclusives like Pikachu dressed as a pilot and Pokémon hugging the Merlion.
