    I went to the Center in NYC before they turned it into a general Nintendo store. It was amazing and I wish I'd been into Pokemon collecting (and... had my own disposable income XD) when I'd gone. I bet there are so many things there that I'd kill to have now. I've been back a few times since it turned into the Nintendo store but its crap compared to the Pokémon Center.

    I really want to go to Japan one day just to hit up a Pokémon Center or two there. It's sadly the #1 draw for me to go there. @_@

    Ugh, I've alwaaays wanted to go to the one in NY, but since it's not a Pokemon Center like Lightning pointed out, guess I won't get the chance. xD; I'd kill to be able to go to one of them, as I've wanted to for a good number of years now, but I doubt it'll happen. >.> My only option used to be the Pokemon Center online store, but I think that's dead now too. xD;

    Haha, no, and I lived in Sapporo and could have gone any time. I was always walking, like, a block away from it without knowing.

    Ah, well, spilled milk and all that. I probably would have been too embarrassed to go anyway.

    ...XD;

    Anyway, I've always wanted to go to the Pokemon Center in New Youk, but after it became a Nintendo store, it never really appealed to me anymore. I would love to visit the one in Japan, though.

    Nope, but there is an Anime and Manga shop in Piccadily Circus where they occasionally sell Pokemon related items. Also, try and visit one or two anime conventions (usually in the Excel center) there's always a Pokemon stall selling all kind of cool stuff.

    No, I haven't.
    The only reason I wanna go is because of the marvelous Pokemon Canvas plushies.
    If I ever go to a Pokemon Centre you can bet I'm gonna go on a buying craze in the plushy areas. XD
    I STILL can't find a frackin' Azelf Canvas plush. ;~;

    I want the Cherrim canvas plush so so so bad but they stopped selling it years ago and an auction the other week for it on Yahoo! Japan Auctions went for over 6000y. ;_; fffff

    I love the new Chu line canvas plush though. I'm just too cheap to get one of them.

    I've never been to one.
    There's not a lot of pokémon related stuff in England.

    You've just gotta know where to go. Yes, I agree, there's not as much Pokemon related stores here but they are trying. There are constant events going on throughout that country and, like I said above, there are a lot of Pokemon stalls at various anime conventions.

    @The Darkest Gale: The excel center is in London. About 20 minutes from where I live by train actually.

    I remember going on a school trip to NYC back in middle school and walking right next to the Pokemon Center. I wanted to go SOOO bad but we had to be somewhere.

    I took pictures of the outside though. Not very good ones (disposable camera).

    EDIT: Lapras Plush I need this SO badly! My favorite Pokemon in a cuddle form!

    I would love to go to one, but I haven't had the chance. Especially since the only centre around now is in Japan. :( Although I know in Boston they have yearly anime conventions or whatever it may be. There is a possibility that some pokemon items could be for sale there.

    It is my dream to go to the Pokemon Center. :D I've convinced my parents that instead of a party for my 21st, which isn't that far away, they could pay for a trip to Japan or to New York.

    There's a small model toys shop about an hour away from where I live who import the Pokemon plushies from the Pokemon Center in Japan, aswell as other items. I managed to buy Dialga, Empoleon, a thermos featuring Shaymin's two formes, a Piplup keychain and a Chimchar one. :D

    Not to go off topic, but I honestly cried when I heard about the remakes of Gold and Silver. To think if I got to the Pokemon Center, I would have trouble breathing. :D But it's all good, we'll get to that once I get there.

    I would really love to be there once. But don't think that *that day* will come pretty soon. One can't find anything that's pokemon-related here, in India. Even the games and DS are available in a few cities. ;;

    So, unless I go abroad, I won't get the chance. D:

    I would love to visit one but I live in China so... unless I'm going to Japan or the US anytime in the near future I have no chance of visiting one.
