Why Do Singaporeans Nerd Out on Pokémon Cards and Labubu?

Jewel’s Pokémon Centre Singapore store had police called in amid a 1,000-strong crowd? Why was the Pokémon Prismatic Evolution launch halted in Singapore? Is a $300,000 Pikachu card lying in your old drawer? Do boxes with rare cards have more weight?

In today’s podcast, we feature two fans of the Pokémon TCG (trading card game), Alistair and Raja, who will be opening their Pokémon Prismatic Evolution ETBs (Elite Trainer Boxes) to give us a Pokémon cards opening experience. These ETBs are the main cause of the long queues at Jewel Pokémon Centre in Singapore, where police had to be called in to maintain order and ensure the public’s safety.

The ETBs contain cards from the new Pokémon Scarlet and Violet card series, and this unboxing episode includes the opening of a Prismatic Evolution God Pack, which contains some of the rarest cards with the lowest pull rates.
