Changi Airport Group – a Headline Partner of APEX FTE EXPO, taking place in Singapore on 18-19 November 2026 – has launched an immersive Pokémon world across multiple terminals, as well as Jewel Changi Airport.

At various locations across Changi’s terminals and Jewel, visitors can look out for Pokémon decorations in unexpected places, offering special Pokégenic photo opportunities. At the horticulture landscapes across all four of Changi’s terminals, more photo opportunities are available with Pokémon themed displays.

At T3 Departure Hall’s Pokémon Experience Lounge, visitors can get hands-on with bite-sized demos of Pokémon video games, and Pokémon TCG tutorials. They can also battle with others using their own Nintendo Switch 2 or face off with other players in exciting TCG battles.

At Jewel, a Pokémon TCG display spans the corridors from Basement 1 to Level 5, featuring enlarged displays of individual TCG cards. The displays will collectively showcase all 27 first partner Pokémon across nine generations, based on Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary cards. To add to the excitement, embark on a Pokémon TCG Quiz Rally, where you can explore the displays around the mall and answer the Quiz questions to redeem a limited-edition Pokémon 30th Anniversary Post Card at the Basement 1 redemption counter1 upon completion.
