Pokémon TCG in the Philippines
In August this year, the Pokémon Company hosted an official Pokémon TCG event, and I was fortunate enough to receive an invite to the Pokémon TCG U-17 Tournament. This event aimed to introduce the Trading Card Game to younger generations of Pokémon fans.
I also had the privilege of meeting Mr. Arakawa, the Manager overseeing business development for Pokémon in the Philippines. He shared his team’s plans with the Pokémon Company to intensify the promotion of the Pokémon Trading Card games in the country with exciting projects. We’re thrilled that the Pokémon TCG x McDo Happy Meals collaboration has now reached the Philippines! Head to the nearest McDonald’s and “Collect ‘Em All” now!
