A Japanese retailer is trying to stop Pokémon card scalpers by making them take a test first

A Bic Camera store in Ikebukuro, Tokyo is reportedly requiring Pokémon card buyers to pass a trivia quiz and meet extra conditions.

Shoppers may need a rewards card or app, and must agree to have packaging opened before purchasing certain new Pokémon card boxes.

The policy is aimed at discouraging scalpers from buying sealed products to resell at higher prices.

It highlights how Japanese retailers are tightening purchase rules to protect genuine fans and limit card reselling.
