What this is
How The Pokémon Company responded to card shortages, April 2023 to June 2026: 12 Japanese notices, mostly extra production, and no list-price increases.
How it’s built
- Counted dated notices on the official Japanese card site: 8 about reprints, made-to-order or extra production; 2 resale warnings; 2 on ID-verified lottery sales.
- The international arm twice said it was printing at maximum capacity. The two price notices in 2022–2026 cited costs only.
What we assumed
- The count is a floor.Only notice pages the research fetched were counted; others may exist.
Sanity check
Shows the company met excess demand with supply and allocation at fixed prices, not price rises, in the notices read.
Where it comes from
