After the recent fiasco with the Shiny Koraidon and Miraidon distribution for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet at GameStop, codes have been restocked.

The in-store promotion kicked off at stores across the United States about a week ago. Soon after, however, chaos ensued. Codes were quickly gobbled up – many by scalpers – leaving many fans unable to get a code. Plenty of codes quickly flooded eBay for exorbitant prices.

Original: AI is a hot topic these days around the world, and Nintendo is no stranger to those discussions. The company has been asked for its thoughts previously and has expressed some skepticism.

Now we’re hearing that Nintendo is lobbying Japanese government in the fight against generative AI. That news comes from Satoshi Asano, who serves on the House of Representatives with the Democratic Party for the People in Japan. Nintendo is only a small part of his lengthy media post, but Asano claims the company “avoids using generative AI to protect its IP and is also engaging in lobbying activities with the government.”
