Pokémon Pandemonium Prompts Police Call

So apparently Pokémon cards are still serious business… like “call the cops” serious.

This went down at an ACME in South Jersey, where a vending machine was dropping a new release—randomly, by the way, like some kind of cardboard slot machine designed to test your patience.

Well, patience failed.

You had multiple groups hovering around this thing, waiting for their moment… and then it turned into a full-on shouting match over whose turn it was. At some point, an adult guy is yelling at kids—which is already a tough look in any situation, but especially when it involves Pokémon.

Cops show up, restore order, and basically stand there like referees while the machine does its thing.

No punches thrown, no arrests… just a reminder that even in 2026, Pokémon can still bring out everyone’s inner 10-year-old.
