I tried living like a Pokémon scalper during Chaos Rising drop week… and honestly, things got crazy.
For 2 straight days I chased Chaos Rising across Walmart, Target and Best Buy to see what drop week REALLY looks like on the ground.
From 5AM Target lineups to store runs, sold out shelves, collectors, scalpers and everything in between… this was a real boots-on-the-ground look at modern Pokémon drop culture.
Is this just dedication… or has Pokémon collecting become something else entirely?
In this video you’ll see:
