A Pokemon TCG store that was the victim of an armed robbery is now changing its name following Nintendo apparently getting in contact.
Last month The Poke Court – a Pokemon Card store in Manhattan, New York – was robbed at gunpoint during its very first community evening event. An employee told ABC7 Eyewitness News that in the three-minutes that the robbery took place, the suspects had stolen over $100,000 worth of merchandise from the store. As the Pokemon TCG craze has had a resurgence over the last few years, with cards selling for huge amounts of money, robberies of stores have become more common, with multiple reportedly happening over all corners of the US in 2026 alone.
