==Online==

Online stores were available for Japan and North America, as well as an online store which is currently accessible via mobile phones in Japan.  Around mid-January 2008, the Pokémon Center online store in North America displayed a closing message, encouraging shoppers to take advantage of closing sales, because the store would be closing at the end of the month.  The store did close effective February 1st, but kept a Q & A site in place of the actual store.  The reason given for the closing was: "Pokémon USA, Inc. (now part of [[The Pokémon Company International]]) has decided to sell Pokémon merchandise exclusively through its retail partners."  The site continued to accept product returns that met their product return standards and were postmarked by February 21st of that year. If one visited [http://pokemoncenter.com pokemoncenter.com], it would redirect to [[Pokémon.com|the Pokémon website]]. On July 2, 2014, the website featured a countdown clock for the grand opening of the Pokémon Center online store and [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Eevee-and-7-Evolution-Pokemon-Minis/dp/B00JKPI0C6 three] [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Poke-Plush-Pikachu-Running/dp/B00JG17ZG6 different] [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Mewtwo-Tumbler-Purple/dp/B00K5S43OG items] avaliable for early-access purchase.
