Pokémon Worlds Championship 2023 is right around the corner. This year, the event is held in Yokohama, Japan. This is the first time the world championship is held in Japan since 2004! The event is held from August 11th to 13th, 2023. As usual, Pokémon Center will open a merch store at the event and exclusive products will be sold! In June, they revealed that there will be over a hundred new merchandises brought to the event. Within these merch, There will be 5 new pin products!
- Worlds 2023 Pikachu Pin – 660円
- Worlds 2023 Sprigatito Pin – 660円
- Worlds 2023 Fuecoco Pin – 660円
- Worlds 2023 Quaxly Pin – 660円
- Worlds 2023 Lanyard & Pins – 4,400円
As expected, the featured Pokémons are the starters of the new Scarlet and Violet game! Although they have not released any product image for the pins, but my guess is the design of the pins will be similar to the ones in the promotional image:
Pikachu paired with ramen, Sprigatito paired with dango, Fuecoco paired with sushi, and Quaxly paired with Japanese tea! All four designs are related to Japanese culture and it is always exciting to see exclusive merch designs related to the hosting country!
The pin product images will be updated once they are available!
