It will open alongside a Nintendo Pop-Up Store, both first of their kind in Malaysia, and will open from September 12th running through to December.

Building Hype For Pokemon Center Kuala Lumpur Pop-Up

This isn't the first time The Pokemon Company has opened official merchandise stores in the country- both Lalaport Bukit Bintang City Center and One Utama play host to PlayLab pop ups, which also stock Pokemon merchandise like plushies and other toys. 

Similarly, brands like Animate and Gundam Base have also set up shop permanently in the country following the success of their pop-ups, though there is no official word on a permanent iteration of either the Nintendo or Pokemon Center Pop Ups.
