Hundreds of Pokemon fans were left disappointed after the Pokemon Center Singapore canceled the in-store launch of the Prismatic Evolutions card game just 30 minutes before it was scheduled to begin. The large gathering of fans proved too much for the store and security to handle, leading to the cancellation and a shift to online sales. While the online launch quickly sold out, some fans speculate that a select few received early access to purchase the limited-edition products.

The Stomper shared a photo of an officer holding up a sign indicating that the store would not be selling any Prismatic Evolutions products due to 'safety reasons' and informing fans to purchase their items through their Shopee store from 10am.However, the launched items were reportedly sold out within seconds of their launch on Shopee.

"Personally, I was looking at getting the Elite Trainer Box or Binder Bundle but both were sold out within seconds online," said the Stomper.The Stomper acknowledged that despite the disappointment, Pokemon Centre Singapore's decision to stop in-store sales was a good one.
