Summary
Pokemongiving away free cards during certain promotions often causes quite a stir -just ask the staff at Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum. While not quite on the same level as the Van Gogh Pikachu card giveaway, promotional cards that were previously exclusive to Europe are being given away with select purchases at the US Pokemon Center website this month. The Pikachu and Eevee Pokemon Together promo cards, and they’re already proving to be pretty popular.
Each card features unique art for Pikachu and Eevee, and that art is stamped with Pokemon Together in gold lettering. If you want them,you will need to buy one of six bundles listed at the Pokemon Center,three of which have already sold out at the time of typing this. The Poke Ball, Pin Pals, and Academy Amigos bundles, the last of which is the cheapest of the six available, have all sold out, presumably because they include the free promo cards.
There are two pieces of good news, though. Not only does that mean three bundles are still in stock, but Pokemon has confirmed there will be more bundles that come with the Pikachu and Eevee promo cards added to the Pokemon Center throughout July. So even if you are seeing this hours or even days after the article was published, check the Pokemon Center as there will likely be some different bundles in stock if the original six have sold out.
Pokemon Center Bundles That Include The Promo Cards
Perhaps most surprising of all is that the World of Fun bundle didn’t sell out immediately. While it’s the most expensive of the original six promo card bundles, its contents are the most appealing. It includes all three of the Soda Pop plushes thatwere made available in the US for the first timeless than two months ago. While that bundle costs the most, it gets you three very popular plushes, two promotional cards that may well be gone forever come the end of the month, and some handy guides to various Pokemon regions thrown in for good measure.
The other two bundles still in stock also include plushes, a Pikachu and Scorbunny in one and a Pikachu and Eevee in the other, along with some other Pokemon TCG products. The bundles feel a little thrown together which suggests Pokemon is trying to empty its warehouse of products it has too many of that aren’t selling well. Surprising if true considering the inclusion of the Soda Pop plushes, but whatever the reason for the bundle contents, that three have sold out immediately implies the plan is working.
