The Pokémon Center pop-up store returns to London in August

After the success of 2019's Westfield Shepherds Bush Pokémon Center, the pop-up store is once again coming to London alongside the Pokémon World Championships. The store will be only be open from August 17-21, so there's a small window for fans to visit.

While previously the Pokémon Center pop-up store stuck around for a few weeks, this time around it will only be open for a few days. The pop-up was originally going to return in 2020, one year after its initial appearance, but due to the pandemic, plans to bring it back had to be delayed.

With the pandemic under control, the Pokémon Center pop-up store is returning to London alongside the Pokémon World Championships. Both the store and the tournament will be at ExCeL London from August 17–21.

In the store, fans will be able to find exclusive merch, photo opportunities, and themed areas (possibly from Pokémon Scarlett and Violet). In addition, there will be advance timeslot reservations and a virtual queuing system for walk-ups. If you can't visit the pop-up store to get official Pokémon merch, you can always go to the Pokémon Center UK official site and see what they have there.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
