If you’re a fan of Pokemon and you’ve not paid a visit to Ombak KLCC and the Pokemon Centre Pop-Up Store there, you really should. While it will still be around for just under two more months, it will close once the year is out. Obviously, fans want a permanent one to call our own within Malaysia. For now, The Pokemon Company has not said anything about such a thing, but a local trading card game (TCG) convention organiser has set up a petition for just that.
The organisation in question is TCGKL, a locally based TCG convention organiser, founded by Hajoon Capital Sdn Bhd back in 2023. While it’s a game-agnostic organisation, it has put up a petition called “A Pokemon Centre to call our own”. At the time of writing, it has 574 verified signatures, with a goal of hitting 25,000 throughout the country. The petition page also has a map of where the signatures originate from, with Selangor and Kuala Lumpur unsurprisingly being the vast majority.
