Add a section on Storage/Care

To ensure the Pokemon game board’s longevity, store it away from direct sunlight and humidity, as these can cause fading and discoloration of the game board’s surface. Make sure to keep the board clean by occasionally wiping it down with a damp (not wet) cloth and gentle detergent. To protect against scratches, apply a thin coat of polish or wax to the board’s surface. To guard against damage such as punctures or tears, store the gameboard in an enclosed box that covers its entirety. Finally, if necessary repairs do become required due to extensive wear and tear, either contact the manufacturer for advice on how best to proceed with repairs or seek out a professional restorer when dealing with vintage pieces.
