Closed since April 1 for a full revamp, the store reopened on 1 July 2026 with a heritage-rooted interior, a new symbol Pok\u00e9mon, and an exclusive merchandise line you can only get here in Singapore \u2014 making it the first full-scale redesign of a Pok\u00e9mon Center outside Japan.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nBvTztmu7VE\" title=\"First look at revamped Pokemon Center Singapore in Jewel Changi Airport\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>First look at revamped Pokemon Center Singapore in Jewel Changi Airport \u2014 via CNA on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Solgaleo Steps Up as the New Symbol Pok\u00e9mon<\/h2>\n<p>The biggest visual change is who greets you at the entrance. <strong>Solgaleo<\/strong> \u2014 the radiant Legendary from Pok\u00e9mon Sun \u2014 is now the store&#8217;s symbol Pok\u00e9mon, standing proudly at the fa\u00e7ade alongside Pikachu and appearing on the official logo. Inside, the redesigned space draws on Singapore&#8217;s traditional architecture: look out for Peranakan tile-inspired patterns worked into the display fixtures, archway shelving units, and a sweeping interior that feels unmistakably local without losing the warmth of a proper Pok\u00e9mon Center.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pokemon-center-singapore-interior.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wide interior view of the revamped Pokemon Center Singapore at Jewel Changi Airport\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The Pok\u00e9mon Company \/ Pok\u00e9mon Center Singapore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pokemon-center-singapore-shelves.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pokemon Center Singapore merchandise shelves with Flareon display and hundreds of plush figures\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The Pok\u00e9mon Company \/ Pok\u00e9mon Center Singapore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>First Wave: 12 Singapore-Exclusive Items, Including That Kopi Set<\/h2>\n<p>Twelve lifestyle items launched with the reopening on 1 July, all designed specifically for this store.

Also in wave one: a <strong>Kopi Cup &amp; Saucer Set<\/strong> that is exactly what it sounds like and is already generating a lot of buzz.

The absolute standout is a set of <strong>three Pikachu bag charms<\/strong> \u2014 each tiny Pikachu clutches a different iconic local treat: a cup of kopi, a slice of pandan cake, and a durian.
