Pokemon Center tackles resellers with 'Early Access' for cards, merch, and more, and it's about bloody time

A selection of Pokemon card listings with 'sold out' over the top.

The official Pokemon Center is taking steps to tackle resellers and high demand with a brand-new 'Early Access' system that offers fans a chance to grab popular merch, cards, and accessories before anyone else.

Unveiled over the weekend, the Pokemon Center Early Access system "allows selected customers an opportunity to purchase popular items before they are more widely released." These can be anything from plushies to Pokemon cards, and considering how quickly must-have releases sell out (finding one of the best card games in stock is… well, "tough" may be an understatement), that's encouraging. Crucially, all you need to do is sign up to the Pokemon Center Newsletter for a chance of getting access.
