why doesn’t tpci just drop the code cards off at ebay hq it would save a lot of effort

[Kwikpanik, CEO of 8192 🔜 Worlds @Kwikpanik]

you know, if we had just been able to shiny hunt the second encounter with Koraidon/Miraidon in Area Zero, the community wouldn't have to be buying their shinies from scalpers

[VCreateArt (COMMS CLOSED) @VCreateArt]

Honestly, I feel like if we continue talking about how bad this distribution ended up, it could grab pokemon's attention, and maybe they'll release them via mystery gift. I don't have a lot of hope, but it could happen. I think I'm at the bargaining stage lmfao

[Toby(she/they)🍉🏳️‍⚧️ @EeveeToby]

What’s the point of this feature if they’re gonna ignore it and give every store 50 codes for shiny miraidon /koraidon

[KingDreC1out @kingdrec1out]

Sick…so my local Gamestop is out of Shiny Miraidon and Koraidon promo codes. They are already being sold online for $50-$100 EACH. @Pokemon @NintendoAmerica this is nonsense. Why were these not just tera raids battles? To fight the scalping of FREE Promo codes this needs to be announced as an online event ASAP. This game/hobby is so cooked🤦🏽‍♂️

[Blacephalon's Big Fat Slobbering Pussy... @Blacephalussy]

I don't have a GameStop or any way to get these guys near me I'm just fucked

[TheNCSmaster @TheNCSmaster]

Hobbies being turned into “investments” has to be one of the saddest trends of recent times

[Hasty @hastyttv]

Scalping a FREE code is beyond evil man wtf.

I had to work this morning. I could not go to GameStop, so I will likely be unable to get a shiny Koraidon, something I’ve been wanting since Scarlet/Violet’s launch.

Pokémon should have just mystery gifted these to everyone.

[Rosemary Kelley @Nekkra]

Special Pokemon should always be a global online distribution

[DPhiE250 💙 #GirlsThatPvP @DPhiE250]

I'm really disappointed.

My local GameStop was only given 50 codes to hand out and there were over 60 people waiting outside the store before the store opened. No codes left me when I went after work.

I hope that @Pokemon will add a Mystery Gift distribution as well.

[Kelosaurus @kelosaurusTTV]

It's appaling to see what this has turned into. 😔

I understand the level of fomo, limited supply & that it wasn't available in all regions. But please avoid supporting scumbags by purchasing a FREE promo code.

We don't know & can only hope that these shinies will be made available to everyone at a later date via mystery gifts. 🙏

[REVERSAL @REVERSAL7x]

Scalpers are insufferable.

Do better @Pokemon, this could've been prevented.

[Nekko @NekkoMeneko]

Yall please DO NOT purchase the SHINY KORAIDON AND MIRAIDON codes.

We do not need to feed into this already shit storm of scalper trend in the Pokémon community that's on going.

This is the saddest state I've ever seen pokemon in.

[Centro LEAKS @CentroLeaks]

For everyone who hasn't been able to get the shiny Koraidon / Miraidon event, make sure to let The Pokémon Company International how badly this event has been handled

[Austin John Plays @AustinJohnPlays]

So apparently there’s a page on the pokemon support website where you can choose “character distribution event-problem obtaining code” and you can state what GameStop(s) you went to and weren’t able to obtain the code. https://t.co/qxmifrnQn8

[Joe Merrick @JoeMerrick]

I will never understand why Gamestop in the US gets a set amount of code cards for events causing stock issues and reselling.

In the UK and parts of Europe, for events like these, the cash registers just print them out from their servers so they don't run out. It's much better.

[The Grimm Knight @Grimmshade]

@Pokemon and @NintendoAmerica really need to do better. I drove 45 minutes to @gamestop to find that the 30 codes for shiny Miraidon/ Koraidon were gone immediately. A store full of crying kids & angry fans isn't a good look for you. Even worse that scalpers are now all over eBay

[The Grimm Knight @Grimmshade]

Hey @gamestop
Way to make yourselves even more irrelevant in 2025 with your ugly mishandling of the shiny Miraidon / Koraidon Pokemon event.
Nothing like driving 45 minutes to see a store full of angry people and crying kids.

[Lewtwo @Lewchube]

why can these be scalped at all. why do I have to go to fucking gamestop for a shiny pokemon in 2025
