The latest issue of Famitsu has an interview about the new Pokemon Center in Kyoto. Interestingly, this same discussion contained a brief mention that there are plans for more of these stores in Japan, and the hope is to expand to other countries as well. It’s not yet known which territories are being considered, however.

Only two Pokemon Centers have opened outside of Japan. One location popped up in New York, but became Nintendo World in 2005. There was also a pop-up store in Paris for the launch of Pokemon X/Y in Summer 2014.

You can find photos of the new Pokemon Center in Kyoto on Kotaku here.
