Welp unfortunately Pokemon will probably seek legal action 🥲🥲
But this is absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For my UX Master's I designed a Pokémon Centre queue that fights scalpers 🃏 Fans play a pack-opening mini game before a drop — mystery cards, multiple choice, 60 sec timer ⏱️ Wrong answers cost time. Best scores = best queue spots. Real fans win. Scalpers lose. 🎴

@MsFoxTrott @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK It was a two week conceptual prototype not a fully functional user experience….

@MikeCardFellow @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK Yeah valid opinion
English

@MillsHal40700 @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK Yeah I think the new world development style of gamifying and gambling everything is pretty bad I dont think basic commerce should be a game.
Scalpers are bad and pokemon company should open all product seals when shipped to prevent this genuinely or find better anti methods
English

@MsFoxTrott @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK Yeah valid, didn’t really have the time to consider accessibility
English

@MillsHal40700 @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK Cool concept. Completely fucks over users on a screen reader, with slower processing times, slower connections, motor limitations, parents trying to get something for their kid, etc.
English

@MikeCardFellow @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK It might not be the perfect idea but I believe the problem it attempts to solve being ‘ poor queuing experiences and scalping ‘ are real problems and I’ve simply tried to gamify that experience for enjoyment
English

@MillsHal40700 @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK and the background image? like idk man seems like probably an awful idea all around though like imagine when i was a kid if my mother had to pass a test about pokemon to try to get me cards like parents getting cards for kids are also in the hobby they just need better bot check
English

@calear22 @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK Yeah it was a quick prototype I made to demonstrate the concept so only picked generic easy cards but the idea would be as they moved through the rounds they had to identify harder cards thus more knowledgeable players would get further though and score better.
English

@MillsHal40700 @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK If you make the questions not based on gen 1, I feel like most people would fail and it would be harder and thus easier for real fans. Everyone knows who Pikachu or Brock is but show them who Skyla or Delphox is lol
English

@MikeCardFellow @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK Definitely my fault, I didn’t use Ai, it was a masters uni project and I was heavily sleep deprived trying to hand it in by the deadline 😂
English

@MillsHal40700 @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK is this ai made or typo on the most iconic Pokémon's name? also guess the Pokémon but the answer was Giovanni not Persian?

@Mattmaximo @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK Fair point, was a fun idea to explore though
English

@MillsHal40700 @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK pretty sure you could bypass this with like 5 lines of Python
English

@NexusKovan @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK Yeah appreciate the feedback, I agree they would most likely create those tools.
English

@MillsHal40700 @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK Love the idea and presentation, though i feel like scalpers could develop AI image recognition tools to quickly answer the questions. So unless its only not well known pokemon or cards replaced with trivia questions i think it would have little impact. I love the score system tho
English

@Davissko_ @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK Appreciate it, I agree your probably right though with the ai
English

@MillsHal40700 @Pokemon @PokemonNewsUK @PokemonTCG @NintendoUK @PBSTUK @pokemondealsuk @PokemonStockUK cool idea but surely there would be easy workaround with ai
English

Tagging some of the biggest Pokémon voices — would love for the community to see this! 🙏

@PokemonStockUK The payment came out of my bank for two items but haven’t got anything in my orders or received emails so think it’s probably an error for me, anyone else had similar issues ?
English

- Mixture of success this morning On Argos, saw some Wins but a lot with errors, most people who do get the item it takes them a few attempts we have noticed!
Did you manage anything from the drop?
- Good luck if you’re on the hunt for Pokemon in stores this weekend , reminder to check HMV’s, B&Ms, TG jones & newsagents just in case you catch a restock.
Have a great Friday & weekend!
If anything else drops we will be sure to let you know! 🤝
