Access to purchase of previous themed Poké Gold bundles

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an idea that’s been bugging me for a bit, and I’m hoping I’m not the only one feeling this way (I created an account just to speak about this).

There were a couple of months where I took a break from the game, and I also didn't start playing on launch day. Now that I’m fully hooked, I’ve realized that I missed out on several themed Poké Gold bundles and exclusive accessories (playmats, sleeves, coins, binders) featuring some of my absolute favorite Pokémon (Darkrai and Zoroark).

Right now, if you weren’t actively playing during a specific event window, those cosmetics are just gone forever. It really sucks coming into the game later or taking a needed break, only to discover you can never get the customization items for the Pokémon you actually love.

Here are a few ways the devs could easily implement a fix for this:

  • Permanent "Legacy Shop" Tab: Add a section in the shop where past event bundles become available permanently after a certain period (like 3 to 6 months after their original release).
  • Throwback / Legacy Events: Run periodic 1-week mini-events where old themed bundles return to the shop for a limited time.
  • Legacy Tokens: Let us earn or buy a token that can be redeemed for any past cosmetic item of our choice.

From a player standpoint, it solves the issue of missing out on favorite Pokémon, and from the devs' side, it’s literally free money—people want to spend Poké Gold on these items!

What do you guys think? Is there a specific past bundle or accessory you regret missing out on the most? Would you prefer these bundles be permanently available at standard price, or brought back periodically during sale events? Let me know!

    I strongly agree, allowing me to access premium cosmetics I missed out on would definitely influence me to spend more time/money on this game.

    I think they will allow them to be obtained temporarily during some special occasion... well that's what I've thought for some time now and it hasn't happened so far tho.
