Pokémon promises once again that it prints more TCG cards, but …

If you have tried to buy a pack of Pokémon TCG Cards recently you will already know what a shit it is. As we have registeredIn the past six months, the explosion of the commercial card game has led to an epidemic of scalping and left the regular players and almost not collect new cards. Now, but not for the first time, the Pokémon Company has promised that it will deal with these bottlenecks. It is only that your words do not really match reality.

Published in a new explanation On the evening before the publication of the next set of togetherand posts in socials from Serebii“Joe Merrick, the Pokémon Company International (TPCI), explains that it is aware of the difficulties that people buy the cards, but promises that” it is actively working on printing more of the Pokémon -TcG products affected as quickly as possible. “The thing is exactly what you said When we contacted you in January about the same problem.

Here is a quote from the new explanation:

We are aware that some fans have difficulty buying certain products for Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) because the availability is very influenced. We understand that these inconveniences for fans can be disappointing, and we are actively working on printing more of the Pokémon -TcG products affected as quickly as possible and with maximum ability to recognize this.

And here is a quote from the explanation in January:

We are aware that some fans have difficulty buying certain Pokémon trade card games: Scarlet & Violet – products for prismatic evolutions at the start due to the high demand for availability. We understand that these inconveniences for fans can be disappointing, and we are actively working on printing more of the Pokémon -TcG products affected as quickly as possible and with maximum ability to recognize this.

What in view of the fact that the availability of availability is not recognizable any Affected sets in the two months since then have made this repeated promise a little more difficult to take it seriously. It’s almost the same word! Those who were able to buy a pack of prismatic developments without paying scaled prices are the few lucky ones.

The new explanation continues: “For Pokémon TCG product publications in the Pokémon Center, we strive to offer a smooth shopping experience and to set technology with which products can primarily put the products into the hands of fans.” Like everyone who has tried to use the Pokémon Center on days when new cards are made available to them, this is simply not true.

The explanation continues: “The Pokémon Center is currently implementing a virtual queue for certain products in order to enable a more seamless purchase process in times of increased location.”

But TPCI needs to know that this doesn’t work. As pre -orders for May’s Set, certain rivals, this week went live, the website was only broken for hours. Sometimes, if you were lucky, you would see the screen “queues”, but in my experience it was never solved on the website, and more often there was simply a message that the site for repairs was no longer. Describing this as “seamless” is a bit pretty.

When I was able to access the website, everything was sold out. In the past, even if the page has not decreased, The product was marked as sold out in moments of the added addition. The limitation of purchase numbers does almost nothing against an army of bots that can make several purchases to several accounts.

It’s just all shit. Tomorrow people will be outside of shops, in the desperate hope of finding a product with each other, and many will miss it. Scalper will do everything to draw the majority of the cards and children and collectors will be disappointed. What we need at this point is not a CopyPasta of an explanation that was submitted two and a half months ago and the same things that clearly did not happen.

We need the Pokémon company to be on it in order to actually start printing and delivering products to retailers (I spoke to specialist shop owners who say that they cannot get answers to sell cards), and above all to drop the insignificant statements and offer a little more honesty and clarity. We turned to TPCI to ask that to get some details about how many more products it wants to print and how and what practical plans it has for its websites, since things are clearly not “seamless”.
