Live drone display

The highlight for two nights were the special live drone displays.

A total of 500 drones took to the night sky during each show, and featured many different Pokémon characters, along with aeroplanes.

The drone show first achieved massive popularity in Okinawa, Japan.

It was the first time it was live in Singapore.

It was specially created to celebrate Pokémon GO’s sixth anniversary.

A total of 7,500 attendees were expected over the weekend.
