We have another update on the Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon code distribution for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, with GameStop now issuing a statement.
Fans in the United States haven’t been happy with how the distribution has been handled. After the event began at the end of September, codes were quickly taken up – and many by scalpers. As we previously mentioned, the distribution started on the same day as a new set for the Pokemon Trading Card Game.
GameStop did confirm that it had restocked codes yesterday afternoon. However, many feel that this still isn’t good enough. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ultimately could have gone through with an online distribution, which would have avoided the chaos.
In any case, GameStop has now put out a statement about the Shiny Koraidon and Miraidon codes for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The main thing is that the retailer says it only received about 50 per store. It also says it’s committed “to providing more to fans if Pokemon makes additional codes available.”
The full statement reads:
Due to overwhelming demand, the first wave of free Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon code cards went very quickly. We saw your feedback, and worked with Pokemon to secure a second wave, now being distributed as free receipt codes in stores.
Pokemon has given us a limited number of receipt codes, approximately 50 per store. GameStop is committed to distributing every code we receive, and we commit to providing more to fans if Pokemon makes additional codes available.
Thank you for your understanding and continued enthusiasm.
Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are currently out on Nintendo Switch. We’ll keep you updated if we hear anything else about the situation.
