The Pokemon community, beloved by millions worldwide, is in distress due to unfair distribution practices in the market. Major distributors like Target and Walmart receive Pokemon products directly from the source, yet they often sell them with excessively high order limits on their websites. This practice inadvertently promotes the use of automated bots, a tool cunningly employed by some buyers to acquire products in bulk. As a result, real fans are left in the lurch, unable to purchase these cherished items.

The current system is failing a dedicated fanbase that cherishes Pokemon for its cultural significance, entertainment, and sense of community. These unfair practices allow few individuals to monopolize the market, often reselling products at inflated prices. This not only alienates the community but also perpetuates a cycle where genuine fans, especially young ones, are continuously disappointed.

It's imperative for companies like Target and Walmart to implement protective measures on their online platforms. Solutions such as limiting order quantities, enhancing CAPTCHA verification to deter automated bots, and regularly monitoring order patterns for suspicious activity can effectively mitigate this issue. By doing so, they would ensure a more equitable distribution process that reflects the values of the Pokemon community.

Pokemon itself must hold its distributors accountable, ensuring that the enjoyment of their products remains accessible to all fans, not just those with technological advantage or substantial funds. By collaborating with these distributors, Pokemon can help enforce fairer trading standards, aligning with the community's expectations and promoting a healthier market environment.

Sign this petition to urge Pokemon, Target,  Walmart and other major retailers to reform their online sales processes and restore fairness to the Pokemon product market, ensuring that all fans can continue to enjoy collecting and trading in an equitable fashion. Together, we can bring back the joy and accessibility that should be at the heart of the Pokemon community.
