pokemon cards, a collectible/trading card game globally popular among the youth and adults and a hobby of hundreds of indians

but unfortunetly pokemon company doesnt have any distributors of pokemon cards in india neither it has ever tried to introduce themselves to indian market

if in present day an indian living in india wants to get hands on real pokemon cards he/she has to first go on international online platforms where people sell products way over the msrp than pay for the extremely high shipping and when the item finally arrives in the country by the time already twice or thrice times the orignal cost of the products we are greeted with a flashy 40-80% customs on the products

if pokemon inc starts distributing cards in india not only the customs and shipping can be avoided it will open up an entirely new market for pokemon as many indians are desprate to get the real deals but due to the limitations are restricted from doing so

this can be solved if pokemon starts shipping booster cases to india directly at wholesale rates or starts a printing facility here

also the second major problem is the availability of nintendo consoles in india because majority of consoles in india and console games have to be imported from outside costing alot of money and time

this petition is a sincere request to nintendo and pokemon on behalf of india pokemon community to enable us to enjoy this hobby
