Pokemon Center London opened today, you could say it was a success ...
- Thread starter Miles X
- Start date
Ha ha ha, nope...I ain't going to freaking London. It's too expensive, too weird and scary.
Better not play the latest Pokémon game then. Might Include a city based on London.
Hope the lunacy's calmed down by the time I visit it weekend after next.
Because there's never been one here before, and this one's only sticking around for a month.
Were there any exclusives?
Lots of people resell for baby profit so if anything went for $5-10 more than retail its considered profit to them
lol 9 hours, I wouldn't do that even if Sword/Shield was for sale early.

I'm going in a couple of weeks, hopefully things will have died down a bit by then. I want that London City Pikachu!
You should be fine as long as you don't climb onto the Tube during rush hour.
I went to one in Tokyo with some friends and it was fun as hell. There were a billion plushes everywhere, and a staff member walking around in a pikachu suit....I'm jealous.
I also wish to fuck we had those cool Japanese cafes.
(^clicky! they honestly sound tasty too)
Food wasn't terrible either.
🤣
Ha ha.
I am not actually being serious, if anything my city, Manchester, is just as scary. 🤣
I got excited for a second until I saw that the store is closing in November. :( I'm going to London in March.
My wife would've loved one of those Pikachu plushies.

Pokémon sadly isn't for kids anymore but they keep designing the games for them.
That was the great thing about Pokemon Uranium, it felt like it was (and I'm sure that was the intent) a game designed for the players who'd grown up playing pokemon, rather than kids playing it for the first time.
smh imagine spending your whole fucking day waiting for that shit
Eh? Pokémon is for kids, it's just that adult have money and kids don't.
This too.
Do they also sell the Psyduck umbrellas?Yeah, a bunch of stuff.
Maybe they'll see what a success this store is and open one up in Los Angeles!
Possibly? Maybe? ... Someday...?

I don't see much love from kids anymore personally. Sad to see my son and friends not care anymore. Seems like 80/90s kids are the reason it's still relevant. That's just the way I see it. Most kids are playing fortnite or watching YouTube
Advice for people going
- go with a line buddy, it's a long wait, you will need a pee break
- some form of portable charger if you want to Pokemon Go while you wait
- Water also.

They sell an umbrella but it's not as cool as Pikachu's. Definitely no Psyduck on the handle. Can't find the picture I saw of it unfortunately.
Dang, that would've been a pretty awesome umbrella to have, and I would have totally bought one if I saw it, lol.
Woke up at 0530 today.
Left at 0700.
Arrived at 0745.
Waited in line until 1000.
Bought a small Ditto, played the demo, talked to a TPC rep in Japanese, went home.
All in all, a great day, felt sorry for those who were waiting so long and seemed as though the Events company was stressing by noon around how many had actually shown up.

There was loads of neat stuff, I overspent like crazy
Wow mr moneybags! TBF I doubt any of it will ever be available again.
No Sobble plushie though?
Effort of pushing through the crushing crowds inside. Might go back when it's a little calmer.
I think you mean you spent exactly the right amount! It all looks great.There was loads of neat stuff, I overspent like crazy
