A Surprise Stop at the Pokémon Store (313 Somerset mall)

I just came back from the city, and although I feel a bit tired, I still want to write something about how my day went. I want to write it now while it’s still fresh in my memory, because the best time to write about an experience is right after it happens. That way, it sounds more enthusiastic, since the excitement I felt during the day is still flowing through me, and that energy shows in my writing. I also notice that my thoughts flow more easily because I don’t have to struggle to recall details; they’re all still in my head! LOL. If I sleep now and try to write tomorrow, I probably won’t feel as enthusiastic anymore.

I did a lot today, but mainly, I went to the Orchard Road area to see what’s happening there. The decorations along the street have already shifted toward the Christmas season. But that’s a topic for another time, because I want to write about my visit to the Pokémon Store at 313 Somerset Mall.

This visit wasn’t planned at all. My original intention was just to have dinner at the mall, but then I noticed that on the first floor, they had set up a Pokémon store, which really excited me! So before heading up to the food court for dinner, I stopped by the store to check out what they were selling.

I noticed that this is the kind of store the whole family can enjoy shopping in, because Pokémon has been around for multiple generations, both parents and children seemed equally excited to explore it.

I used to watch Pokémon when I was a kid, so I felt a wave of nostalgia as I browsed through the plush toys, figurines, fridge magnets, Poké Balls, and even the arcade games they had. OMG, this store has it all!

It brought back so many memories from my childhood. Of course, most of the toys are modernized now, so it gave me a slightly different feeling, a mix of nostalgia and amazement.

And the Pokémon arcade games? So dope! I almost wanted to sit down and play, LOL.

The only thing missing, I think, were Pokémon cards. It made me wonder why they didn’t have any, maybe there’s a separate store for that. It would be great if they also sold cards and set up a play area where avid players could enjoy battles right there in the store.

Overall, my unexpected visit to the Pokémon Store turned out to be the highlight of my day. It reminded me of the simple joy and excitement I felt as a kid, now mixed with a bit of nostalgia. Sometimes, the best experiences really do come from unplanned moments.
