New to Pokémon card collecting and want to know how to play Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) like a pro? Head to this Pokémon “Beginner’s Academy” and pop-up in Singapore with giant Pokémon card displays, photo backdrops merchandise and free card training sessions!
@derrickhohpa There’s this awesome Pokemon Pop-up exhibit happening at Marina Square. They’ve got these fantastic backdrops with blown-up cards from sets like Paradox Rift and Pokemon 151, perfect for some cool pictures. But the highlight for me was the Beginners Academy for their Trading Card Game. Now, my wife’s been schooling me in TCG at home, so I sneaked off to the Academy to up my game and surprise her. After the session, I realized I’ve been building my deck all wrong, but hey, I left stronger. Watch out, Jellies! And if that’s not enough, there’s a pop-up store with the coolest Pokemon merch – I might have splurged a bit. If you’re a Pokemon fan or want to learn the trading card game, seriously, don’t miss this. It’s around until the end of the month. #pokemonbeginnersacademy #pokemon151 #pokemomtcg #paradoxrift
