Pokemon Center London - Everything You Can Buy

By Will Potter on October 19, 2019 at 5:03AM PDT

The products discussed here were independently chosen by our editors. GameSpot may get a share of the revenue if you buy anything featured on our site.

With the release of Pokemon Sword and Shield just under a month away, a brand new Pokemon Center has opened in the United Kingdom, the inspiration behind Sword and Shield's Galar region. Located in Shepherd's Bush, London, the pop-up Poke-shop will be open for business until November 15, 2019, when the new games arrive on Nintendo Switch.

Not only will the store be a treasure trove of plush and plastic, Pokemon Go players will see an increase of certain Pokemon in the area, with Psyduck, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, and Combee, to name a few, showing up in the London Westfield shopping centre.

We were invited by The Pokemon Company to preview the new store before it opened, and check out all the goodies on offer for fans to buy. The star, of course, being Pikachu in its London City outfit - which was too cute to not take one home with us.
