GameStop Restocks Shiny Pokemon Codes As Fans Complain Of Scarcity And Scalping
"The retailer distributed physical cards containing codes for Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon to be redeemed in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet beginning September 26. But after the well of codes quickly ran dry, GameStop announced that a second wave of codes arrived this past weekend, albeit with a catch. GameStop has approximately 50 codes per store, according to a statement on X."
"These codes will be printed on receipts instead of the usual cards with unique art. The statement emphasizes the limited nature of this second round, adding that the retailer is committed to distributing every code it receives and providing more if The Pokemon Company makes them available. This event has drawn outcry from Pokemon fans, who point out the scarcity of the codes and the prevalence of scalpers on platforms such as eBay who are selling code distribution cards."
GameStop distributed physical cards containing codes for Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon redeemable in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starting September 26. The initial supply ran out quickly, prompting a second wave of codes delivered that weekend. Stores received about 50 codes each, and the new codes are printed on receipts instead of illustrated cards. GameStop said it will distribute every code received and request more from The Pokemon Company, but indicated the supply constraints were not its decision. Fans criticized the scarcity and the appearance of scalpers reselling distribution cards on eBay. The event ends October 15.
