Exciting news for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans! GameStop just kicked off a stellar promotion where players can grab codes for Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon, two of the most sought-after Legendary Pokemon. This limited-time event is running until October 15, so don’t miss your chance!

What’s the big deal? Normally, Shiny Koraidon in Pokemon Violet and Shiny Miraidon in Pokemon Scarlet are locked, meaning you can’t get them through regular gameplay. The event is happening at select retailers like GameStop in the US and EB Games in Canada. However, there’s been some drama lately—GameStop ran out of codes way too fast, with some scalpers even reselling them on eBay. Yikes!

GameStop Clears the Air

In response to the backlash, GameStop clarified on social media that each location initially received only about 50 codes for the first distribution wave. They added another 50 in the second wave starting October 4, but players are limited to one code each. GameStop pointed the finger at The Pokémon Company (TPCi) for the strict limitations, while gamers called for more online Mystery Gift events to avoid scalping issues.

The reaction to GameStop’s statement has been mixed. Some trainers are questioning how many codes were really available, while others appreciate GameStop’s transparency. The Pokémon Company hasn’t responded yet, and players are eagerly waiting to see how this situation develops.

Despite the shiny chaos, many fans are excited about new updates and events. Recently, there have been rumors about potential new expansions and gameplay features that could shake things up in this beloved franchise.

With the buzz around shiny Pokémon and new content, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet continues to be a topic of conversation. Whether you’re a collector or a casual player, now’s a great time to jump back into the game!
