Gallery: Pokemon Center Tokyo In 1999

Pokemon fan @xxHIMEMARUxx recently shared photos of the very first Pokemon Center which opened in Tokyo, Japan.

The photos were taken 1 year after the opening of Pokemon Center Tokyo in 1998. As you can tell, even though Pokemon Center Tokyo had been operating for at least a year, Pokemon fans and customers had to line up to enter the store. That’s how popular it was!

This year, Pokemon Center celebrated its 20th anniversary with two rounds of commemorative merchandise and the opening of Pokemon Center Tokyo DX and Pokemon Cafe at Nihonbashi Takashimaya.
