The iconic brand has aligned with the policy, as fans are shocked by the widespread shortages of its products in stores.
The US Sun previously reported on a sudden shortage of Pokémon cards.
The classic item has been almost entirely removed from store shelves, and fans have begged for product limits.
One complaint highlighted how far people will go to get the cards.
On April 16, a shopper named Mike filed a complaint on X, saying: “@DollarGeneral Put a limit on how many Pokémon tins people can buy, like three.
“It ruins it for people like my son, who saves his allowance to purchase one.
“No reason not to. Our store reported that a lady came from 2.5 hours away and purchased all 36 tins.
Walmart has also reported the same thing.
Another user wrote on X, “Sad day, my son has been wanting Pokémon cards, but they are so hard to find that everywhere is sold out.
“He was excited when he saw these Pokémon mystery power boxes at Walmart, but someone destroyed the entire section and stole everything.
“Why do people have to be like that? @Walmart @Pokemon.”
POKEMON SPEAKS OUT
Pokémon has now issued an official statement regarding the policies sweeping the United States.
To demonstrate its commitment to the policy, the company has updated its Terms and Services on its website.
The company stated, “You may only purchase products from the Site or through the Services for personal use by yourself or the intended recipient of the products.
“We may limit the quantities that can be purchased per order, account, credit card, person, or household.
“We reserve the right, without prior notice, to refuse service to any customer or reject any order at any time and refund any money you have paid for such order.”
This update could be just what fans have been asking for from retailers.
Pokémon is showing solidarity with the retailers who have been hit the hardest by the shortages.
If Pokémon imposes product limits on the cards, it will be more difficult for people to purchase a large number at once.
It is unclear what this would look like.
If this means completely limiting the number of cards on shelves, it may become more difficult for everyone to obtain them.
It is believed that the sudden surge in Pokémon popularity is due to the release of the new app Pokémon TCG Pocket.
