Pokemon Company Pledges Increased TCG Production After Scalping Issues Persist

Following community frustration over shortages and scalping, the company announces plans to boost production and explore further measures to improve product availability.

The Pokemon Company has committed to maximizing production of new and existing TCG products, including reprints of popular sets like Prismatic Evolutions.
Scalping remains a significant issue, with pre-orders for the Destined Rivals expansion selling out within minutes, leaving many fans empty-handed.
Anti-scalping measures, such as vending machine purchase limits and the removal of plastic packaging in stores, have shown limited effectiveness.
The company's virtual queue system, intended to prevent bot purchases, has struggled to stop scalpers from acquiring large quantities of stock.
The Pokemon Company is exploring additional strategies to ensure products reach fans directly and to address ongoing community dissatisfaction.
