How Japan Reacted To The Pokemon Center Singapore Announcement
Last week, The Pokemon Company announced the world’s first and only Pokemon Center outside Japan would open in Singapore.
Although this is a new Pokemon Center that isn’t opening in Japan, there was a lot of excitement generated among diehard fans living in Japan. And of course, not everyone is happy about it.
Here are some of the reactions:

“Hmm, the first Pokemon Center overseas other than (the now defunct) Pokemon Center New York. But why did they choose Singapore over America?”

“Disappointing”
“Speaking of Singapore, it’s crazy rich.”
“They’re foreshadowing Generation 8 taking place (in Singapore)”
