I happened to go there today and they gave me codes for Arceus, aka the god of Pokemon. I was surprised; I haven’t been keeping tabs on that sort of thing. Been mostly playing Pokemon Shuffle and trying to avoid heat exhaustion. 😉

The clerk said that if they run out of actual cards, they have a code they can give out that’ll get you the Pokemon as well. Apparently either Gamestop or Nintendo wasn’t happy about the online card scalpers.

A bit off-topic - This particular Gamestop had general fandom stuff too! Funko figures, t-shirts, plushies, etc. Also blind box figures for everything from the Bethesda games to Stephen Universe.

I picked up a stuffed narwhal, because, narwhals. 😃
