Pokémon

He goes to buy Pokémon cards and ends up in a fistfight with a speculator: police had to intervene

Speculation taken to its logical conclusion: two adult men get into a fight over who will be the first to buy Pokémon cards from a vending machine.

The renewed Pokémon card fever has reached surreal heights. In one recent incident, two grown men ended up fighting over who would be the first to get their hands on some of the most coveted Pokémon Trading Card Game sets. A viral video on social media captured the scene in all its “glory”: a heated argument over who would get to a vending machine first, which escalated into a fistfight that required police intervention. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported and no charges were filed against any of those involved in the bizarre brawl.

Surrealism pure and simple: two grown men fighting over Pokémon cards

The incident, which took place in the United States, was captured on video and shared on TikTok, where it quickly went viral. The video shows two men arguing in front of a Pokémon card machine. One of them argued that he was the first to arrive at the establishment and had been “lurking” in his car, waiting for the machine to replenish its product, so he had “priority” to buy the cards, according to Kotaku. However, the dispute escalated when the other buyer, who was already in front of the machine, refused to give up his spot.

The tension soon escalated into a physical confrontation. As the video shows, the man in the car went so far as to push and grab the customer who was already standing in front of the machine. The alleged aggressor can also be heard yelling at a worker on the premises. When the fight got out of hand, the police had to intervene.

According to the user who shared the recording, who was already in line, officers arrived on the scene and took away the other man, who allegedly faked an injury when he was arrested. However, the victim decided not to press charges, so the altercation had no major legal consequences. Nevertheless, the scene has sparked a wave of criticism on social media, with many pointing out the absurdity of two adults getting into a fight over a card game primarily aimed at children. Others criticized the violent attitude of the man in white pants, arguing that he was probably motivated by speculation.
