Pokémon, especially Pokémon TCG, has undoubtedly never been more popular than it is right now. Prices seem to be skyrocket everywhere, as card shops and retailers cannot keep up with demand and Scalpers run roughly. Recently, there was even a poignant of a thief that nabbed $ 300,000 in stolen cards.

Pokemon TCG Pocket becomes dangerously close to copying the worst with the trading card game

I open packaging, but it's not sparkling joy.

That said, not everyone is as jazzed about Pokémon, including Gamestop employees, who took Reddit to send their complaints against campers and Scalpers who waited overnight for a chance to buy some cards.

Never have thin cardboard pieces ever been more popular

Over at R/Gamestop Subeddit, employees did not hold back in their assessment of Friday's last edition of warehouse.

Before the stores even opened, people camped overnight, including keeping places in line with lawn chairs. An employee noted how there were 22 people outside their store up close, including a person who started holding his place at 16:00 for an edition that happened at 10:00 the next day.

“We had 5 in my store, 18 hours before drop … insanity,” wrote an employee in response.

Keep in mind that the reason for things has come to a head is that Gamestop has recently changed its purchasing policy to get rid of Pokémon invaders in the hope that it would prevent Scalpers from being purchased a store's allocated share in advance. But all that is done is to force people to wait outside.

It does not help that not only people camp, but they also have friends and family in line, who are shared by a customer who was in the unfortunate end of such a situation. It also does not help that Gamestop seemedly approved the campers by writing a post that said the company “greets” them.

The rest of the sub is filled with similar horror stories and complaints. Everything paints a picture of a product that is currently in disarray, with seemingly no relief coming to employees or to those who simply cannot afford to wait in a row.
