What action is needed from Malaysians to secure a permanent Pokémon store?

Question

Accepted Answer

Malaysians must support the pop-up store to show The Pokémon Company they want a permanent store
Malaysians need to demonstrate to The Pokémon Company that they want a permanent Pokémon store by supporting the upcoming pop-up store. The pop-up store is Malaysia’s first and will open on September 12 at Ombak KLCC, offering limited edition products. The organisers said the decision on whether a permanent store could be in the works is “up to Malaysians”.
The pop-up store is the main way Malaysians can demonstrate demand
The pop-up store is scheduled to officially open on September 12 at Ombak KLCC, with limited edition items available. It is positioned as the first such Pokémon popup store in Malaysia, making it the clearest channel for local fans to show support. The store’s opening date is directly tied to the start of the Pokémon 30th Anniversary events in Kuala Lumpur.
The decision on a permanent store depends on local support
When asked whether a permanent Pokémon store could be developed, KLCC (Holdings) group CEO Datuk Mohd Salem Kailany said it would be up to Malaysians to demonstrate that “we want them here”. This links permanent-store discussions to participation and support for the pop-up store rather than to any other announced step. In other words, the action identified is supporting the pop-up store.
The pop-up store’s limited edition offerings are part of the support signal
The Ombak KLCC pop-up store will carry limited edition products, including a limited edition t-shirt featuring Mario, Luigi, and Toad inspired by the Petronas Towers. Such merchandise is part of the store experience fans can purchase and engage with during the pop-up period. That consumer participation is the form of demonstration described in the statement about wanting The Pokémon Company “here”.
The Pokémon 30th Anniversary events run alongside the pop-up store timeline
The Pokémon 30th Anniversary celebrations in Kuala Lumpur include events on September 12 and 13, with the pop-up store opening on September 12. Other activities in the same broader period include free entry events at KLCC Park and additional Pokémon-related programming later in the year, such as the Pokémon Run on November 21 to 22. The permanent store question, however, was explicitly tied to Malaysians supporting the pop-up store.
