Pokémon fans crowded into Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) on Saturday, 12 September 2026, for a weekend of 30th anniversary celebrations, according to Malay Mail. Tickets for the pop-up store were gone by early morning, the outlet reported, with queues for the store opening as early as 6am.
The event, billed as PokéXciting!, is running across the weekend and includes Malaysia's first Pokémon Center alongside a Nintendo pop-up store, according to GamerBraves. Malay Mail had earlier flagged the 6am queue start and asked readers whether they planned to attend on 12 September.
Coverage from THE MAGIC RAIN described the gathering as a fun-filled weekend for visitors, while TRP | The Rakyat Post listed PokéXciting among the weekend's highlights in Kuala Lumpur, alongside the Bandai Summer Festival.
The swift sell-out of pop-up store tickets reflects the scale of interest in the anniversary programme, though organisers have not yet commented publicly on attendance figures or whether additional ticketing will be released.
Fans hoping to attend should watch for updates from the event's organisers on remaining weekend slots and any further ticket allocations.
