The Heart of Pokémon in Japan
Nostalgia and Tradition
Japan is where Pokémon began, and here, it's more than just a game or a TV show—it's a cultural icon.
The franchise is deeply ingrained in everyday life. The original 151 Pokémon, like Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo, continue to dominate the spotlight.
Fans in Japan often favor these first-generation Pokémon due to their strong nostalgic appeal.
In Japan, Pokémon Centers—official stores filled with exclusive merchandise—are tourist attractions and a favorite for locals.
Current Favorite Pokémon Characters in Japan
Lucario – The Aura Master
Lucario has grown into a massive fan favorite in Japan, partly due to its strong presence in both the Pokémon games and anime. Its unique design, coupled with its strong combat abilities, makes Lucario a popular choice for competitive players. But beyond that, Lucario's deep connection to "aura" and its heroic nature have made it a beloved figure in Japanese pop culture.
Merchandise featuring Lucario often includes high-quality action figures, TCG (trading card game) collectibles, and stylish clothing that taps into the Pokémon’s tough, yet honorable persona. Lucario items are frequently sold out due to its enduring appeal, but you can still find some exclusive Lucario merchandise in our store!
Greninja – The Stealthy Ninja
Greninja, a Water/Dark-type Pokémon, became a breakout star globally, but its popularity in Japan soared after it was featured as Ash's partner in the Pokémon XYZ anime series. Known for its speed, agility, and unique ninja-like design, Greninja has become a favorite among both younger fans and serious gamers who appreciate its role in competitive play.
In Japan, Greninja is often featured in high-end figures, action-packed apparel, and sleek accessories that reflect its stealthy nature. You can find some of these exclusive Greninja products in our store, perfect for any fan who appreciates this powerful Pokémon.
Charizard
Charizard has been a fan-favorite Pokémon since the early days of the franchise, both in Japan and globally. As one of the original 151 Pokémon, it holds a special place in the hearts of long-time fans. Its powerful dragon-like design, fiery attacks, and pivotal role in the Pokémon anime and games have made it an enduring symbol of strength and loyalty.

Pokémon Trends Overseas
On the other hand, overseas Pokémon trends reflect more variety in character popularity. While Pikachu is a global mascot, other Pokémon, especially those from newer generations like Greninja, Lucario, and Garchomp, often take center stage outside of Japan. The competitive Pokémon gaming scene is a huge driver of this shift, as these characters perform exceptionally well in battles, leading to their rise in fame.
International fans also embrace the ever-evolving nature of the franchise, with new characters, games, and anime seasons regularly adding to the roster of favorites. The influence of mobile games like Pokémon GO and the popular trading card game (TCG) has shifted global attention to Pokémon that excel in these formats, such as Dragonite, Gyarados, and Snorlax.
Our store reflects this global diversity in Pokémon fandom, offering not only the beloved original characters but also trendy and highly sought-after Pokémon from the latest generations. Whether you’re a fan of the classics or looking for modern stars, we’ve got something for you.

Events and Community: Pokémon in Japan and Beyond
In Japan, Pokémon is a social experience. From large-scale events like Pokémon GO Fests to exclusive Pikachu parades in Yokohama, Japan embraces Pokémon as a community-driven phenomenon. The country also offers limited-time events, such as Pokémon-themed trains, pop-up cafés, and special promotions, encouraging fans to engage with the franchise in creative and memorable ways.
Globally, the community aspect of Pokémon is thriving, particularly through online platforms and mobile games.
