Blocked from Pokemon Center! Pokemon Center blocked a lot of people earlier this month because of some issues with the servers here’s what happened!
Pokemon Center
PokemonCenter.com is an official website for buying authentic pokemon toys, plushes, and merchandise, etc. Pokémon Center stores sell many kinds of Pokémon merchandise. This includes Pokémon games, TCG cards, anime videos and DVDs, manga volumes, CDs, and a wide array of products such as clothes, accessories, bedding, sporting equipment, dishes, musical instruments, and toys. Pokemon has become a huge franchise that has transcended the anime community and has become a pop culture phenomenon.
Blocked from Pokemon Center
Many people were blocked from the website. This happened mainly due to refreshing the page. The ban might be for the bots who buy all the merch before the humans and then sell it for a higher price. Many people were frustrated after getting banned just for refreshing. This is what a Reddit user had to say about this. ” got blocked on my computer & was frustrated, but figured I was probably refreshing too quickly, so I tried again an hour later on my phone using cell service and made sure I didn’t refresh more than once every few minutes and it blocked my phone’s IP too after like 10 minutes… so disheartening”.
What to do?
There is nothing you can do at the moment to get unbanned. Many people are even getting IP banned so they can’t even access the site. If you are banned, try contacting the support team and hope they can fix your issue. Pokemon Center is vulnerable at the moment so we advise you not to be in a hurry and wait before you buy your favourite plushie.
