Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa told shareholders that the company is aware of Pokémon card scalping and plans to take steps to address it.
During a recent annual general meeting, Furukawa responded to a shareholder question about bulk buying and reselling of Pokémon cards. He said Nintendo would increase cooperation with marketplace platforms and expand made-to-order sales.
Furukawa noted that some online drawings in Japan already require government-issued identification. He added that Nintendo communicates with The Pokémon Company as needed on ways to deliver products to consumers.
“We believe that The Pokémon Company will continue to take measures to respond to this issue,” Furukawa said.
