The Pokémon Company addresses ongoing shortages of its highly anticipated Scarlet and Violet—Prismatic Evolutions expansion. Acknowledging widespread difficulties in obtaining the product, the company assures fans that reprints are currently in production and will soon be distributed to licensed retailers. This statement marks the first official recognition of the supply issues affecting the January 17th release.
The statement, released following numerous fan complaints on social media, cites "high demand" as the cause of the shortages, without explicitly addressing speculation regarding scalping. The Pokémon Company emphasizes its commitment to increasing production to meet this demand as quickly as possible. While a specific date for increased availability wasn't given, the company assures fans that reprints are en route to distributors.
