The "Pokemon Worlds in Singapore" discourse really just tells me how lacking of international knowledge some Americans are......
BTW it's very clear the reason they chose Singapore is because Winds and Waves the region is taking place in Indonesia and Malaysia.
American Pokemon fans didn't bring up safety concerns about holding Worlds in the US with ICE killing and kidnapping people but they chuck a tissy over Singapore being unsafe because they can't go a week without weed or vape
To the man who scammed my son today at @pokemon XP at 10:45am, 2nd floor Moscone South, Booth 87 (we think), stealing my son’s most valuable Pokemon card—which he spent years saving money and trading items to own—my son has the following message for you:
Please stop hurting children. I love this community, and I don’t want other kids to lose trust of people at these kinds of events.

As a dad I am outraged. I am also in awe of my son’s grace toward you. I will learn from him.
Enjoy my son’s most valuable possession, and try to be a better human moving forward. #pokemonxp
