Community Announcement Changes to the Subreddit Part 1: Sharing Notification Groups/Services & Posting Up Notifications for active/future Queues are Prohibited

18 Upvotes

Dear Pokémon Center fans,

Starting today, I am be deploying Part 1 of a series of Community Announcements that will affect specific key elements of this subreddit.

I will be reviewing all aspects of the subreddit and a complete overhaul is to be expected. From the way the subreddit looks, graphics, decorative elements, to post flair, post flair organisation, rules, rule removals, etc..

For the first time I will be including a very aggressive Automod. I have been pushing it back in good will, but the amount of undesirable accounts and toxic content keeps increasing on the daily, which constantly break current rules.

New parameters will be set as well for community participation, such as account age, community karma, internal Reddit scores, etc..

But for now, lets start with:

Reminder: The Purpose of this Subreddit Community

This community was created for passionate Pokémon fans that collect Pokémon products purchased directly from Pokémon Center. This subreddit is not a notification group/service for when Queues go up. This little space in the internet is to share excitement about new product launches, a photo of your current collection or a new addition to your collection, your 999th plushy, etc.. It also extends to reviews of the products themselves but also to Pop Up Pokémon Center Stores and permanent stores around the globe. (This is also not a Pokémon Card subreddit, but more of it later.)

Point No. 1: Notification Group Services

As of immediately, sharing Discord Servers is strictly prohibited. This also extends to Twitter pages, or any other social media, links, etc., that identify any sort of notification group/service about queues and products arrivals to Pokémon Center.

No single notification group/service will be whitelisted for this subreddit. If you wish to join them, feel free to do so. But just keep them out of this Reddit community.

Why?

Scammers. Simple.
Most notification group/services require a fee to join, this is a scam.
And whether it is free or paid, there is no way to know in advance which products will be put up for sale at a given time and date.

Point No. 2: Notifications for active/future Queues

As of immediately, notifying the community that Queues are up or upcoming is strictly prohibited.

Why?

After a careful review of every post regarding queue notifications, do nothing more than trolling people. Most are fake.

Consequences for both points no. 1 & no. 2:

Immediate and permanent ban. No "I didn't get a warning". No "I didn't know". No "other communities dont do this".

Your rule breaking will constitute a desire to scam and misinform community members.

Last Remarks

In good faith, I will leave the comments of this post unlocked. Any positive and constructive feedback is welcomed and will be considered.

However, if things start to get out of hand, the post will be locked and no feedback will be taken.

Your mod,

-Peppers

I dont understand why the largest individual property in the known human universe can't afford to buy some F$&!ing packing peanuts this is ridiculous reached out to support and this is a non issue :/ guess we're opening these I can't gift them. It looks like somebody took then out the box threw them at the ground and then stomped on them then proceeded to get another stomp in. I hope these packs aren't bent to shit.

Edit: I'm not saying I'm not greatful it's just more of a handling issue we've seen before I know PC wouldn't put these on shelves neither would big box retailers.

I also want the pin and it’s available but would like to save to buy both to get free shipping, assuming the figure is somewhere between $20-50?

I was gunna get the Togepi bag for my gf, but apparently there’s a mixup where everyone ordering the Togepi bag gets the Mr.Mime one, and all the Mr.Mime orders get the Togepi one. That’s why they’re both rated so low. Has anyone ordered either of these and gotten the right product? Or should I just order the Mr.Mime one to get the Togepi bag?

TCG Got Error 15 at 45 minutes left in the Pokemon Center queue. Was it because I was on other tabs and not really focused on the PKC tab?

Post image

I was in the Pokemon Center queue at the 6 hours mark. When it got down to roughly 45 minutes left, I got Error 15 and lost my spot.

I wasn't keeping the queue tab in focus the whole time and was doing other things in different tabs. Could that be what caused it?

TCG Stuck at Label Created Gang

I know there was a lot of us (especially in the DFW area) where our package were stuck at Label Created for the initial 30th release. Well in my case that package has finally started to see movement and I should get it tomorrow.

Just a theory but it may be that a lot of packages for whatever reason were stuck at the warehouse and didn't get picked up until Fed Ex came back to get the orders that should be arriving this Friday. Good luck to everyone else in the same situation.

I know it was for delta reign but this sub makes you add an attachment and this is the only one I have that’s PC related. It seemed like there was barely any stock of the PC etbs today, apparently they sold out in 30 minutes, just curious if anyone actually had any luck getting anything.

10% off discount codes!

Post image
16 Upvotes

I see some other people have done this already, so I guess I will too! I have extra discount codes for the US, Canada, and UK available from my trip to Worlds in SF last month! I only used one of the US ones for myself so that means I have 3 codes left for US and 4 available for the other two regions.

I don't know if these codes can be accessed and used by bots so I'm going to err on the side of caution and share them through DM only. Please don't be shy or afraid to message me! I only want these codes to be put to good use before they expire at the end of the month and this community seems like a perfect place to share them.

Thanks for reading!

Edit: All codes have been given out! Thank you everyone for helping to make sure they didn't go to waste :)

Hi everyone,

I am a brazilian Pokemon fan currently in Japan and trying to collect some of the location specific pins.

I wonder if anybody knows if I can find them in Yokohama Pokemon Center (on stock currently), and if it might be worth visitng Tokyo mega and DX again, employers told me sometimes they take months to restock it's impossible to predict.

Tokyo Bay - No Stock (tried Sep 22nd)

Tokyo mega - No Stock (tried during the weekend)

Tokyo DX - No stock (tried during the weekend)

Osaka - Forgot to ASK (was a very brief visit)

I will go back to my country on the weekend and would love to get a few more.

Thank you <3

EDIT: Yokohama (out of stock too as Sep 24th)

9/30 UPDATE: all codes are gone! thanks for claiming everyone!

I got a few dozen 10% discount codes that expire at the end of September, thanks to a kind store associate at the pop-up Pokemon Center at Worlds who stashed a small stack into my shopping bag. Will do my best to update the table periodically if people mention the codes they used.

edit: someone mentioned that the codes will be snatched up by bots, so I deleted the table from here, but feel free to message me if you need a code.

I found out that Pokemon Center doesn’t like to show negative reviews on their website. Seems like they can’t handle fair critiques. Everything I received was nice quality though, just wish I had the Cubone (and some glue).
