The bags are scheduled to be distributed at each club’s home stadium throughout the campaign while supplies last.

The J.League has confirmed the bags are not for sale, meaning they can only be obtained by attending participating matches.

Given Pokémon’s history of limited-edition merchandise attracting collectors, it would not be surprising to see some eventually appear on the resale market, though the league has not announced any plans to sell them directly.

This is not the first time the J.League has worked with Pokémon. In 2014, the two collaborated for Family Join Days, giving supporters a promotional Pikachu trading card that now fetches high prices on sites like eBay, although it’s still far from being considered one of the most expensive cards ever printed .
