Pokémon Center Exclusive Pins: The Logo Pin Checklist

Eighteen of the 20 Pokémon Centers open on September 28, 2026 have had a pin of their own, a logo pin: a small enamel pin in the shape of the shop's emblem, its Pokémon perched on a Poké Ball medallion ringed with "Pokémon Center" and the shop's name. Fifteen of those Centers have had a pin of the emblem they use today; Sapporo, Yokohama and Osaka DX have changed their emblem since their last pin. We found no logo pin for Pokémon Center Shibuya or the Yokohama Satellite.

In Japan a logo pin is sold only in its own shop, not on Pokémon Center Online, and the five new pins of 2024 and 2025, at Tokyo-Bay, Nagoya, Tohoku, Fukuoka and Kagawa, cost ¥770. Singapore's new pin costs S$10 (July 1, 2026) and Taipei's NT$210 (December 8, 2023); Taipei's also went on sale on Taiwan's official online Pokémon Store in October 2024. Our guide to every Pokémon Center in the world gives each shop's address, hours and emblem.

The checklist: every Pokémon Center and its pin

Years are when each pin went on sale: from the official goods announcements and dated press reports for most pins since 2013, from collectors' records for the others. Prices are those announced at release. A shop that moved keeps one row, its earlier pins included; Tokyo's original shop has its own, since it now trades as Mega Tokyo. Whether each shop had its pin in stock on September 28, 2026 is something we could not check; Hiroshima's 2015 pin, for one, came back years later on a new card.

What a logo pin is, and where it is sold

Every Pokémon Center in Japan except the Yokohama Satellite has an emblem of its own, and the logo pin reproduces it in metal and enamel: Rayquaza winding around the medallion at Skytree Town, Slowpoke lying across it at Kagawa, Latias and Latios carrying Pikachu at Fukuoka. The pin usually comes on a backing card printed with the shop's name, and the card's copyright line dates the print. Pins of a long-lived emblem can come back: Tokyo's and Osaka's first emblems were redrawn on new pins in 2003, with new lettering on the ring, and collectors recorded Hiroshima's 2015 pin on a new card in 2025. The Centers also sell character and seasonal pins across the network, and some shops add local pins of their own; this checklist follows the logo pin, the one pin nearly every Center has had.

In Japan the pin stays in its shop. The official goods announcements we read, from 2018 to 2025, list it under the shop's own heading, apart from the goods also sold online, and Kanazawa's of 2020 says outright that its pin is sold only at Pokémon Center Kanazawa, not on Pokémon Center Online. On September 28, 2026, a search of Pokémon Center Online returned only two logo pins, both sold out and neither a shop's: one for the 2025 Japan Championships, one for Blueberry Academy. Outside Japan the rule is looser: Taipei's pin was also put on sale on Taiwan's official online Pokémon Store, which opened on October 24, 2024, and Singapore's 2020 pin was sold both in the shop and on Singapore's official online Pokémon Store.

The list price was ¥630 before tax for the pins of 2015 to 2019, ¥660 with tax in 2020 and 2022, and ¥770 for the five new pins of 2024 and 2025. Shops may limit how many one customer buys, as their goods pages warn.

Shibuya, the Yokohama Satellite and the Pokémon Stores

We found no logo pin for Pokémon Center Shibuya as of September 28, 2026. Its opening goods of November 22, 2019 included Shibuya-only plush, a skateboard deck, Swarovski crystal pieces and goods shared with Nintendo TOKYO next door, but no logo pin; the only pins in that range were a random Graffiti Art collection of five designs, ¥650 before tax, sold at every Pokémon Center and online. Collectors' catalogs list no Shibuya logo pin either, as of May 2026. Its emblem, Mewtwo and Mew, is also the only one among the open Centers without Pikachu.

The Yokohama Satellite, opened on April 9, 2026 in the JOINUS mall at Yokohama Station, is a smaller shop that sells part of the range under a plain wordmark instead of an emblem; as of September 28, 2026 we found no goods of its own, pin included.

The five Pokémon Stores (New Chitose Airport, Tokyo Station, Narita Airport, Kisarazu and Gotemba) have no emblems, and we found no logo pin for any of them: four share one wordmark and Kisarazu uses an outlet version. The one pin we found in a Store's own range is Tokyo Station's stationmaster Pikachu, sold only there from its opening on December 9, 2013, at ¥500. Capsule-toy pins sold from machines, such as a Narita Airport series of 2018 at that Store, are not the shops' own goods and are left out.

Retired pins: old emblems and closed Centers

A logo pin is tied to its emblem, and emblems change. Shops often take a new one when they move or are renovated, and several changed together with new games: in October 2013 (X and Y), November 2016 (Sun and Moon), November 2019 (Sword and Shield) and on December 14, 2023, when six shops each took a Paldea starter. So three open Centers that have had pins have none of the emblem they use today: Sapporo, whose 2016 pin shows Alolan Vulpix and Popplio, Yokohama (2018: Turtwig and Popplio) and Osaka DX (2019: Grookey and Meowth). Whether those three still stock their old pin, we could not establish.

New pins have mostly come with an opening, a move or a renovation, and the emblem swaps timed to new games brought none that we could find. Mega Tokyo and Osaka fit that pattern: they took Miraidon and Koraidon in November 2022, reopened after a refit in March 2023, and collectors date a pin of each new emblem to that reopening. Anniversaries brought pins too: Osaka in 1999, Sapporo in 2010 and Tohoku in 2012 for their first year, and Nagoya a crest-shaped pin for its tenth, in 2012. Nagoya's 2008 logo pin came boxed and marked Limited edition 2000, and Singapore's pin of its first emblem, Lapras and Celebi with Pikachu, went on sale with its first-anniversary goods on October 2, 2020.

New York had two. The Grand Opening pin of Pikachu and Pichu was sold only at the store's opening in November 2001: 3,000 were made, each numbered from 1 to 3000 and boxed with its numbered plate on foam, beside a matching numbered keychain. A logo pin of the store's emblem, its name over the Pokémon logo, was part of the same opening range. Many New York items were later sold in Japan and online too, so the store's name on a pin does not by itself make it a New York exclusive. The store, at 10 Rockefeller Plaza, closed on January 19, 2005; its four promo cards are in our catalog of Pokémon Center promo cards.

London (October 18 to November 15, 2019) listed a London City pin badge of Pikachu among its exclusives. For Paris (June 4 to 21, 2014) we found no pin of its own. The original Pokémon Center Tokyo, in Nihonbashi from 1998 and Hamamatsuchō from 2007, renamed Mega Tokyo when it moved to Ikebukuro in 2014, left logo pins of two emblems, by collectors' records: Pikachu with Poliwhirl and Charmander in 1998, redrawn in 2003, and Piplup in Poliwhirl's place in 2007. Collectors also record a boxed 1998 Grand Opening pin, the Tokyo medallion on a flag, reported as numbered out of 2,000.

The Pokémon Center pop-up stores at the World Championships have sold pins of their own as well, on Pokémon Center cards: event pins, sold for the few days of the event.

How to collect them today

In the shops. Of Japan's 18 Centers, 16 have had a pin and 13 have had one of their current emblem, from Sapporo to Okinawa. Tokyo is the densest stop: Mega Tokyo, Tokyo DX and Skytree Town have had pins of their current emblems and we found none for Shibuya, with Tokyo-Bay in Funabashi and Yokohama within reach; our Tokyo guide fits the four Tokyo Centers into one day. Kyoto, Osaka and Osaka DX make a second cluster.

From abroad. Pokémon Center Online does not sell the logo pins and delivers in Japan only, so without a trip a pin comes from a personal shopper in Japan or from the second-hand market. Taipei's went on sale on Taiwan's official online Pokémon Store in October 2024, but it showed as unavailable there on September 28, 2026.

Second-hand. Pins of old emblems and closed Centers now change hands between collectors, with or without their card. In Japan the pin is sold as ロゴピンズ (logo pins) followed by the shop's name, the name to search for. Our price data covers cards and sealed products, not pins, so we quote no resale prices: they vary widely from one listing to the next.

Telling a genuine pin. No single check proves a pin is genuine. The World Championships' pin trading rules say that official Pokémon pins bear a ©Pokémon mark on the back and refuse pins without it, but the mark is a condition for trading, not proof: a copy can carry it too. Compare the pin with a known genuine copy of the same design, such as the photo in the shop's goods announcement: outline and poses, colors, the metal lines between them, the lettering on the ring, the back's markings, the clutch and, if there is one, the backing card. A design that matches no emblem in the checklist deserves suspicion (a pin offered as a Shibuya logo pin may be one of the 2019 Graffiti Art pins, genuine but sold at every Center), and a price far below what the pin usually fetches sets the odds. Our guide to spotting fake cards applies the same comparison method to cards.

FAQ

Does every Pokémon Center have its own pin?

Not all. As of September 28, 2026, 18 of the 20 open Pokémon Centers have had a logo pin, 15 of them showing the emblem the shop uses today. We found none for Shibuya or the Yokohama Satellite, and Bangkok, due in December 2026, had announced no goods by that date.

What is the Pokémon Center Skytree Town pin?

Its logo pin: Rayquaza and Pikachu around the shop's Poké Ball medallion, sold only at Skytree Town from its opening on July 6, 2016, at ¥630 before tax then. The emblem has not changed since, so the pin still matches it.

Can you buy Pokémon Center logo pins online?

Not from Pokémon Center Online: on September 28, 2026 its search showed no shop's logo pin. Taipei's pin went on sale on Taiwan's official online Pokémon Store in October 2024, though it showed as unavailable there on September 28, 2026; the others come from the shop itself, a personal shopper or the second-hand market.

How much is a Pokémon Center logo pin?

¥770 with tax for the five new logo pins of 2024 and 2025 in Japan, ¥660 with tax in 2020 and 2022, and ¥630 before tax from 2015 to 2019. Singapore's costs S$10 (July 1, 2026) and Taipei's NT$210 (December 8, 2023).

Was there a Pokémon Center New York pin?

Yes, two: a Grand Opening pin of Pikachu and Pichu, sold only at the November 2001 opening in 3,000 numbered copies, and a store logo pin from the same opening range. The store closed on January 19, 2005.

Does the US Pokémon Center sell pins?

Yes, online: on September 28, 2026 the US store listed 889 products in its Pins category, with character pins at $9.99 and a numbered monthly series at $12.99 each. The logo pins belong to the Centers in Asia and are sold in the shops themselves.

Which Pokémon Center pins are limited editions?

Two pins in this checklist state a print run: New York's Grand Opening pin of 2001, 3,000 numbered copies, and Nagoya's boxed logo pin of 2008, marked Limited edition 2000. Collectors also report Tokyo's 1998 Grand Opening pin as numbered out of 2,000; we found no stated print run on the other logo pins.

How can you tell a genuine Pokémon Center pin?

Compare it with a known genuine copy of the same design, down to the ring lettering, the back and the clutch, and check that the design matches an emblem the shop really had. The ©Pokémon mark that official pin trading requires is a condition, not proof on its own.
