You got a Wal-Mart? Look anywhere that sells groceries. If they have a section for Asian food, it'll be there.
Only types I've tried are the strawberry and the chocolate. They were both good.

Probably...
I've only eaten Pocky once or twice. I like it...but it really doesn't taste all that unique to me. There are better Chocolate, candy, and other flavor covered crunchy snacks out there.
...but they are fun to eat just for the novelty of being foreign. Given the choice between a package of Pocky with all it's labels written in english, and another with labels in asian/japanise characters I can not understand, I would take the mystery pack (not really knowing what flavor it actually is even) since the novelty of it would really be the only reason I am buying it in the first place.

It's been an A-Kon tradition to have some of the stuff, particularly in the past few years. It spread like wildfire at the beginning of the decade. It sometimes substitutes for food, though it's not a good idea to rely too heavily on it for nutrition too long. It's almost impossible now to go to A-Kon without having some left-over Pocky or at least an empty Pocky wrapper somehow ending up among your stuff.
Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...
Pocky is essentially a stick of cracker dipped in a flavoured coating.
It's really not that hard to make, either. Really skinny breadsticks dipped in whatever flavour you like.
I think you can even get the ingredients in just about any market; and it's easy to find Pretzel reciepes for the dough...
Hmmm: Jalapeno and Cheese "Pocky"!
