A Pokémon Store Has Found The Most Utterly Bizarre Way To Beat Scalpers

A BicCamera store in Ikebukuro, Tokyo is reportedly using a 15-question Pokémon quiz to screen buyers before selling certain card products.

Customers are also limited to one box each, and staff cut the booster-box wrap to make resale harder.

The store allegedly warns sales may be stopped if the quiz sheet is photographed.

The unusual measures highlight how severe Pokémon card shortages and scalping have become in Japan.
