Pokémon Center has officially launched its online store for Germany, marking a major milestone as the first dedicated Pokémon Center shop for continental Europe outside the UK. The website is currently live in beta phase and only available in English, with plans for a German language option in the future.

Launch details

The new Pokémon Center Germany store offers a selection of official products including plushies, clothing, figures, and TCG cards. Shipping is currently limited to addresses within Germany, and the initial catalog is relatively modest, reflecting the “soft launch” approach as they test demand and operations. Community members hope the store will expand both its product range and shipping areas to include more EU countries as the beta phase concludes.

Important card language note

It is important to remember that all Pokémon Trading Card Game products sold through the German Pokémon Center will be printed in German, as this is the official language for cards distributed in Germany. Although the website interface is in English, the booster packs and cards themselves will be in German, which collectors and players should consider before purchasing.

Community reaction and future expectations

Fans across Europe have welcomed the announcement, seeing it as a key step towards making exclusive Pokémon merchandise and new releases more accessible on the continent. There is strong hope that after the soft launch phase ends, the Pokémon Center will gradually expand shipping and services to other countries within the European Union. The new shop uses the standard Pokémon Center domain and design but is set up specifically for the German market with English as the default.

Pokémon Center Germany’s debut represents an exciting opportunity for European fans, with the promise of wider offerings and enhanced experiences to come as the service grows.
