Wait, there was a Pokémon UK? When did that come around?

2003, according to Bulbapedia.

I changed the title to more accurately reflect the contents of the topic.

On a side note, what's the market size for Pokemon merchandise in the UK?

You can go to any Wal-Mart to get figures, cards, and DVDs. No country besides the USA and Japan will ever get a Pokemon Center. There is not enough demand. The ones in Washington will close down within a few years too, I'd imagine.

I was just clarifying that it's not only the UK who doesn't have everything, and the Walmarts around here tend to have next to nothing, I live in the middle of nowhere.

Ya same here, I live in canada and I go to the US to get most merchandise and DVDs.
