The London Pokemon Center pop up shop in Shephꦑerd's Bush, Westfield is so popul🐻ar, a Pokemon fan petition to make it a permanent fixture or open an online UK store has surfaced on . 

Since the petition was started a week ago, it already has over 2,500 signatures. The store has already 🏅had to limit the number of purchases per customer due to high demand and the sheer number of customers visiting the Center since it opened earlier this mon♛th. 

The shop, which is only set to remain open until November 15, 2019, has seen an impressive number of visitors since its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:rather crowded opening, with tweets still coming from customers stating that they've been waiting in queues for th🌃eir chance to gജet all that exclusive London Pokemon Center merch. 

The official Pokemon UK Twitter account posted an detailing how the shop has been experiencing "unprecedented demand and queues should be expected." The store stated that due to the high demand, some products may sell out before the end of the day. "We receive daily deliveries and endeavour to replenish stock as quickly as possible," the FAQ says, "However, due to unp✨recedented demand, some products may sell out before the end of the day." 

Shortly after it opened, customers were limited to just six purchases to ensure everyone could have the chance to grab some merch. A lot of the excitement surrounding the store is also down to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Sword and Shield demo that fans ൲are able to try out. The Center is reportedly giving customers wristbands with time slots to try out the demo during their visit. 

UK Pokefans have been hoping for some Pokemon goodness this side of the pond for a long time. While the pop-up shop is still set to run until November, I would love to see an online store open sometime in future. Given the success of the shop, an online store is sure to do just as well. For now, though, we'll just have to keep on 💯hoping.

I started out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued to write about games in my free time during retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Car💦diff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or dr♋inking far too much tea for my own good.
