It seems that Pikachu must really be thrilled riding so high in the ozone layer with Rayquaza. Smile

There was one in NYC. Not sure if it's still there. There are also Pokemon Center kiosks in malls, though of the 3 I knew of near me, one shut down completely, one is now just a vending machine, and not sure of the third.

It was replaced by the Nintendo World Store (now Nintendo of New York) in 2005.

As cool as it sounds I can only imagine the outrageously high prices they are going to be charging just for a Pokémon plushie. Shocked

Darn, I saw the title and I thought the Pokémon Center store would be on that Pokémon jet.

There is still a huge Pokémon section of the Nintendo World Store though. Last time I went there, they still called it the Pokémon Center.
