On Thursday (12 Apr), Singapore’s Pokémon Centre opened its doors for the first day of Jewel Changi Airport’s public preview.
Now that Singapore has its own Pokémon Centre, you don’t need to travel to Japan to catch ‘em all. The location is a haven of Pokémon plushies, finger puppets and trading cards.
If you’re ready to expand your collection of Pokémon merchandise, here’s what to expect on 17 Apr, when it officially opens to the public.
The opening was met with a lot of fanfare, thanks to the Japanese Pikachu guarding the entrance.
A look inside reveals gigantic Pokémon statues and plushies.
Lapras enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water, and we can only hope that it’ll do the same for us.

We suggest you list down your favourite Pokémon, otherwise you’ll get overwhelmed by the goodies.
If people go gaga over their virtual Pokémon Go collection, we’re betting they’ll go crazy over these merchandise. We’re not sure how fast these will get caught by local fans, so grab what you can.
