Biggest frustration was having the 2 PC ETB's and a case of BB's in the cart, put in the credit card info and BAM.... get booted from the site after waiting for 10-15 mins
I checked the site right before drop, is unfortunately for everyone to experience that. Feel way less pain just knowing I missed than the site screwing people over
Site was only good for like 10 minutes till it crashed for the entire duration and when it came back up everything was sold out… pokemon center gotta do something abt this cuz its only gonna get worse from now on out due to the increasing popularity… hopefully there is a second wave 🤞🏽
Pokemon cards its just scalper world at this point,thats what you get when there is high demand,and if they increase the print the price drop,so yeah,you pokemon fans are fucked 😂
Why did people pay $200+ for Booster boxes on ebay when they could of just went to game stop to pre order them in person😂 they're are still accepting pre orders in person. Plus Target and Walmart haven't even dropped their pre orders either
I got ban when I was trying to log in to my account multiple times because the website keep loggin me out or go down so many times. But hopefully all that was after I pre order two PC ETB's. But after I was just trying to see if my order add correctly because after add check out, they didn't send me an email right away confirming the pre order. I git the email 31 minutes after lol The website crash so much that it took that long for the email. Btw they disbanned me after like 5 hours lol So I couldn't pre order any other things, but I am happy with my two ETB's ^^
I don’t know if this is a fix but I feel like pokemon should be like hey you have from this day to this day to pre order the product after that no more pre orders. Essentially make to demand. So if 500 people pre order the etb than they make 500 of them instead of their lets just guess how many people will buy them. To be fair I’m not sure about the whole card process and how long it takes to make them but I feel like them trying that once would at least give them a gauge on how many people are pre ordering. Limit is cool and all but if Pokémon center isn’t willing to fix bots then the limit will only do so much. In the long run a pre ordering system where you make it to how many orders are placed could potentially deter some resellers as they will see the product has no “rarity” or “limited stock” attached to it.
@@Doma0004MC when I was preordering mine I was talking to the guy working there and he said if you are a pro member you can pre order as much as you want. Once the release date comes they are limiting people to two of each of the items. That goes for prismatic also. Probably the best place to go unless there is a line of people waiting. Won't be much stock left because most products are already preordered. That is where I will be next Friday tho 😆
All the recent sets need a MASSIVE reprint for the next couple years, this market has made collecting such a nightmare with pre orders and INSANE prices. This hobby shouldn’t cost this much on new releases.
I was there during the release this morning but the lag was so bad that I kept reloading, and kept getting timed out, I am just tired of seeing product sold for crazy prices ON RELEASE. I’m probably going to buy the card I want straight up because competing for sealed product at a fair price really sucks
I work nights so I sleep in the morning when I got up everything so sold out and I just drove down to my GameStop and placed my preorders I would love a Pokémon center box for my collection but I will never pay so much for a preorder
I was at a doctor appointment with my daughter when I saw the drop, literally in the room with provider so I couldn't work on ordering. Was stupid enough to think I'd be able to order like 15 minutes later when I got outside. Nope, tried for an hour or two and knew it would be a waste of my time. Then got hammered all day with notifications about Best Buy and Gamestop etc. More frustration cuz I'm not paying these prices. Can't afford the hobby and afraid I won't make it through this hysteria like I did last time. Been avid collector for 7 years, set completer and all, but this won't be fun and I'm about to sell everything off and get out.
Im super pissed. I thought it would be next Thursday. I completely missed all of it. I got 2 prismatic ETBs from PC luckily, but i wasnt planning on missing this!! Fuuuuck
I wish I knew about the reshiram card being in all booster boxes. I didn’t end up buying because I thought only the pokemon center had it. Oh well. I’ll just buy it from someone when it comes out.
I got 2 etbs and 4 booster boxes bc of your discord brother😂 pc did make me switch browsers tho to prove i wasnt a bot. (It worked on chrome but not brave)
I was able to get an etb then the site crashed hard. Sucks this keeps happening, no way with all the money they have they can’t fix the site to handle the demand.
There's no confirmation anywhere that the "enhanced" booster box is a PC exclusive. From everything I've seen, all booster boxes will have the promo, at least in the U.S.
Am i the only one that feels some dookie went down this morning. Why do i feel the bots put some software in to crash and boot everyone so they could capitalize. Funny thing it says unavailable not sold out.
welp thats just how pokemon works bro they got the best strategist and marketers in the game since 1999... they want all the people looking at the " very limited stocks" for the hypetrain to continue... and of course we are all suckers for them... hands down pokemon know what they are doing lol goodluck trainers!
I'm super Mad. Stressful. I emailed them. All I got was a automated reply back. It's like they don't care how you feel about it. If it's scalpers. I don't know what to do anymore.
whom ever is managing their website should be fire. we're in 2025 and how they're not expecting that much traffic during lunch. Unless they just have the cheapest service plan available for their website.
I’ve made up my mind, I’m not buying it. Prismatic that is. I’m not paying double or over market that’s 100 percent not happening, If I see a blister pack for 15 dollars maybe. But the pull rates are not great in prismatic and I’m sick of it already. It’s unfortunate but it’s going to become if your rich you can open packs, its ridiculous
Same…I get the hype for the 2025 sets, but I don’t have FOMO anymore. I’m not willing to pay these absurd prices. I’m just going to go buy things from the cheaper sets and enjoy the IRs from those sets (that’s really the reason I collect the SV sets, even the earlier ones)
@@jessicamagri8211 same here. I just watched rev open like 45 packs and got basically nothing. I’m thinking for that reason the packs will fall in price but the cards are going to be expensive to buy. It sucks
Biggest frustration was having the 2 PC ETB's and a case of BB's in the cart, put in the credit card info and BAM.... get booted from the site after waiting for 10-15 mins
I had the same in my cart. When I clicked on the cart that's when everything went nuts and the system crashed and could never get back in.
Same thing happened to me. I feel your pain! 😭

I’m pissed
I didn’t get any Pokémon center stuff but went to GameStop and made in person pre orders and bought 6 BB 10 booster bundles and 6 etbs
I thought they limit to two booster box for in person for booster box
@ they didn’t have a limit at mine
@@johnrobinson5313 the dude before me had per ordered 14 BB and think like 60 bundles I was scared he was gonna take everything

Ya you click on it and it says unavailable I'm pissed
No i was not able to get them you can click on them but then it says unavailable!
The website wouldn’t work for me and by the time it worked they were out of stock

Not officially confirmed but there are indication that all booster boxes in US are the enhanced booster box
@@VicariouslyTCGYes all the BBs should have the promo in the U.S.
@ I really hope so.
@@r0ckettp0wer I'd almost guarantee it, I believe PokeBeach & PokeGuardians info.
My roommates hate me. After I order two from my account. They couldn’t checkout theirs 😢
Surging Sparks being a mainline still has low supply, that is what created the FOMO for Journey Together
I got 2 etbs and 4 booster boxes bc of your discord brother😂 pc did make me switch browsers tho to prove i wasnt a bot. (It worked on chrome but not brave)
I was able to get an etb then the site crashed hard. Sucks this keeps happening, no way with all the money they have they can’t fix the site to handle the demand.
I just went to gamestop and skipped out on all that frustration. Ordered 4 etbs and 2 booster bundles.🎉🎉
I picked up a etb and booster box from pc
The reshiram has a stamp for specificity pokemon center but there’s also a normal one for other retailers
There's no confirmation anywhere that the "enhanced" booster box is a PC exclusive. From everything I've seen, all booster boxes will have the promo, at least in the U.S.
@ I mean the fact that reshiram has a pc stamp is the confirmation
@@low_tempo_ Reshiram has a journey together stamp not PC.
It won't have a pc stamp. It's confirmed it will have a journey together stamp similar to the cards in the build and battle boxes in other sets.
Let's go! 20 secs! Thanks Pokémon Doctor! 🙂
I am blessed to have gotten 2 PC ETBs. Then I went to GameStop and preordered quite a few more products! GameStop for the win!!
At this point Pokémon Center should just do one item per person
Am i the only one that feels some dookie went down this morning. Why do i feel the bots put some software in to crash and boot everyone so they could capitalize. Funny thing it says unavailable not sold out.
Woke up too late and missed the pre-order. So sad
Bro same. Shouldn’t be with way.
these were available at 5am
I was saying eastern time
5 minutes eb games australia booster boxes sold out
Yeah I had 10 ETBs in cart hit checkout and they were sold out. There is literally nothing left. Not even single packs
I got blocked from the pc website
welp thats just how pokemon works bro they got the best strategist and marketers in the game since 1999... they want all the people looking at the " very limited stocks" for the hypetrain to continue... and of course we are all suckers for them... hands down pokemon know what they are doing lol goodluck trainers!

I literally logged in 10 min. After you did and it crashed forevermore ha 😢
You aint getting no pre orders under msrp in this market , you'd be considered lucky to buy at msrp.
I’ve already seen an announcement, so just wait
I love you doc
