The Pokémon Center North America site the day before closing.

There are online stores for Japan (no longer allowing purchases) and North America, as well as an online store for mobile phone access in Japan. Around mid-January 2008, the Pokémon Center online store in North America displayed a closing message, encouraging shoppers to take advantage of closing sales, because the store would be closing at the end of the month. The store did close effective February 1st, but kept a Q & A site in place of the actual store. The reason given for the closing was: "PokémonUSA, Inc. has decided to sell Pokémon merchandise exclusively through its retail partners." The site will still accept product returns that meet their product return standards and are postmarked by February 21st.
