Summary

The retailer is charging obscene amounts for the 30th anniversary Pokémon cards. The price gouging of Pokémon cards has become such a problem that last week during a shareholding meeting , Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged that the current retail environment has led "to high-priced reselling in the market." In other words, the Pokémon trading card game (TCG) has a problem with scalping. To combat this, Nintendo says that it and The Pokémon Company will "take measures to respond to this issue."
