Pokemon TCG Destined Rivals Pre-Orders Canceled, Frustrating Fans
Pre-orders for *Pokemon TCG: Destined Rivals* have been cancelled for some fans, causing frustration within the community. This issue comes just a month after GameStop discontinued pre-orders for *Pokemon TCG* products in stores.
In late February, GameStop announced it would stop accepting pre-orders for *Pokemon TCG* items, introducing purchase limits in an attempt to give more fans access to new releases at launch. However, this decision was met with backlash, as many fans felt it limited their ability to secure products in advance.
Now, fans are facing cancellations of their pre-orders for the *Destined Rivals* set through the *Pokemon Center* online store. The expansion’s Elite Trainer Boxes proved to be highly popular, leading to website crashes and long queues. The *Pokemon Company* has not made an official statement on the cancellations, and customers are often not notified about their orders being canceled. Some fans have reported seeing *Destined Rivals* boxes being resold at inflated prices on eBay.
Players who ordered the *Destined Rivals* Elite Trainer Boxes should double-check the status of their orders on the *Pokemon Center* website. While some may eventually receive shipment notifications, the situation has left many fans worried about the accessibility of future *Pokemon TCG* releases.
