Planning To Visit Malaysia’s First Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store? Read This First
Malaysia is set to host its first official Pokémon Center and Nintendo pop-up stores at Ombak KLCC from September 2026. The event includes strict queuing rules and ticketing procedures to manage high fan turnout.
Why it matters
Major brand activations in Southeast Asia reflect the growing commercial importance of the gaming and pop-culture market in the region.
From 12 to 14 September, there will be a slew of Pokémon activities and events to celebrate the store's launch. Alongside the Pokémon Center pop-up store, we will also get our first official Nintendo Pop-Up Store. Both stores will open at Ombak KLCC from 12 September to 31 December 2026 as part of Pokémon's 30th anniversary celebrations.
Your journey will begin at Zone 1 on Level G, located at the mall's main entrance. While ticket handouts will start at 8am, eager fans can begin queuing from 6am. Do not try to outsmart the system by arriving earlier. Organisers have firmly stated that anyone caught gathering or queuing before 6am will be immediately disqualified and denied entry.
