Pokemon Center New York Closes

[Dignity]

Hello everybody. As we all know, I am from New York. So I would like to wish a sad farewell to the Pokemon Center here, which is closing. After 3 good years, it is time to say goodbye. They are renovating the store and reopening as a Nintendo store in the spring. Goodbye, PCNY. We will miss you dearly. ~origin

Wow, that is a surprise. I've been planning to go visit there myself, but being in England it's kinda expensive. I hope they make a Pokemon Centre in England, that would be nice and a lot easier for me and the other English Pokemon fans.

 

[Dignity]

.. I highly doubt they will... they have four in Japan though ^^

 

[Toothache]

Exactly, Japan has plenty, they wouldn't go wrong making one over here, that's for sure.

Um, guys, they're remodeling. There was a story on Pokemon.com recently.

 

[Dignity]

dude, thats what you think.. what they put up on the website isnt always true.. they are remodeling the store into A NINTENDO STORE. no more pokemon, only a SMALL SECTION. i have been there myself, and asked workers.. notify me if you would like to contact a formerworker and see for yourself

I think the site shut down because of it check. https://www.pokemon.com

This specifically is the article:

https://www.pokemon.com/events/index.asp?articleID=592

What is specifically being referred to us the following line:

We will re-open the Pokemon Center NY in Spring of 2005, and even more exciting, we?ll have other exclusive Nintendo products showcased there as well.

(emphisis mine)

Depending on your interpetation of that line, well, that's the whole arguement.

They're closing it? I always wanted to go there. I guess you can see why they'd close it, because Pokemon is declining in popularity, or so it seems. It's really too bad, though...

 

[Ryoutarou]

Dang, that sucks Oo Were the store sales really that bad ? I would have though Pokemon still had a better grasp in the US market. Or maybe it's just NOA trying to pimp out everything else they have XD

Yoshi and Origin, no more arguing, please. ^^

Oh, it's remodeling! I'll be sure to visit it when it's done 'cause it might close later on. Eek!

 

[Kayleigh]

Well, it's not closing for good, they're just remodeling... I hope they don't change it too much, though. I really like the other games from Nintendo, but I want the store to stay a Pok?mon center. *cringes* If they change too much then they'll be hearing from me! I've been dying to go to it ever since I heard that it existed. T_T
