Pokemon Locally?

[BatsInSpring]

My son want to play Pokemon locally, trading preferably. We are in Suffolk. He is 11 yo. Does anyone know of any meet ups/clubs/groups? Thank you

I know this was a while ago but what is he looking to play? Cards, Pokémon go or another Pokémon game?

He actually just wants to chat and trade...

Google "game cafés" in your area.
There's a Geek Retreat in Ipswich if that's near you (they are a franchise).

Thank you. We went to Geek Retreat but they play the game (and seriously!). I've asked my local library if I can set up my own trade and chat club. He starts High School in September and they have a Pokémon club too.

Had a quick google and there’s a place called Shuffle Board Game Cafe, in Bury Saint Edmunds if that’s nearby. They have a Pokémon Casual League on a Sunday, which might be worth checking out. https://shufflecafe.co.uk/events/

Pokemania also do events which he may enjoy. Unfortunately the closest to you at the moment seems to be Norwich which is a shame but worth keeping an eye out for a more local event. https://www.pokemania.co.uk/events?843a4660_page=2

Our local waterstones had a Pokémon event fairly recently, for swapping & chatting. Might be worth checking out your local branch @BatsInSpring ?
