The Closing of PokemonCenter

[HMTKSteve]

Is anyone else saddened by the closing of Pokemon Center dot com (http://www.pokemoncenter.com)?

We used to buy the little figures and plush Pokemon from there for my daughter. Even when not buying it was always a great resource for what was out there.

I hope they still have a presence at the Nintendo Store in New York City.

Never visited it. Sounds like I was missing out. :(

Yeah; I actually was looking for plushes for my brother just yesterday; that's when I found out they were closing. Will there be a new reliable source for Pokemon toys? All I can ever find online are shady companies with poorly designed websites selling them for waaay too much...

Wasn't there an actual Pokemon Center store in New York as well? I seem to recall wanting to visit it when I was there on a field trip, but I didn't know where is was.

Or am I thinking of the Nintendo store?

The Pokemon Center Store in New York city is now the Nintendo Store.

Oh, I see. Either way, I'm bummed that I missed it. Mind you, I saw penty of other cool stuff in NYC in it's place..

But at any rate, it is sorta a bummer that it's gone. I always liked the idea of an entire store dedicated to a single game...

I'm rather sadden by it, since I was planning on buying one of the Umbreon and Metagoss plushes.

I remember back in the day, I was so excited upon its grand opening. I was even there within the first week! While I didn't buy much from the store, this is quite a let-down.
