KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 12 — Thousands of Pokémon enthusiasts flocked to KLCC Park to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the franchise, alongside the debut of Malaysia’s first Pokémon Centre Pop-up Store and the Nintendo Pop-up at Ombak KLCC. Despite the pop-up store opening at 6am, fans had been gathered near the Ombak KLCC site since the previous night, with a line of roughly 70-80 people forming by 7.30am.
Organizers explained that the queue was not for store entrance but to obtain tickets for specific entry slots. Within an hour, all morning and afternoon slots were taken, with only night sessions opening later. Visitors were not allowed to queue before the specified times. The pop-up store, Malaysia’s first, offered exclusive items, such as the limited turquoise-haired Pikachu plushie.
Some fans, like students Yap and Shi Lin, came early to explore the store, while others were content with visiting the park for free activities and Pokémon Go events.
