The Pokemon Company has announced the first Pokemon Center Pop-Up store for the Philippines.

As part of the 30th Anniversary celebrations, a Pokemon Center Pop-Up store will be opening at the SM Mall of Asia in Manila for 6-months starting in October 2026. Aside from merch, fans can also look forward to a Pokemon-themed fun run, live stage sh0ws, and more.

Pokemon has been moving to expand its presence in Asia in recent years, having recently announced a major  “Pokéxciting” campaign with numerous events across the region. Manila is notably one of the stops on that campaign, running from January 23 – 24, 2027.
