It’s pretty upsetting to see Pokémon prioritizing influencers by sending them massive hauls of the entire collection while actual fans can’t find a single item in stock.
It feels completely backwards. Why dump so much on influencers when the demand is already so high? The collection would sell out instantly without the extra promotion, yet loyal fans are left empty handed.
What makes it even more frustrating is that most of these creators would promote a competitor the second they were offered a better deal, they don’t have any real skin in the game. Leonhart is honestly the only exception to this (and done others), as he’s a genuine part of the community. Everyone else just feels like they're along for the ride while the real collectors get ignored.
Do better, Pokémon.
