Pokemon Trading Card Game is as popular as it has ever been and because of this it has been a prime target for scalpers buying up and selling the cards at inflated prices. The Pokemon Company has been making plans to put a stop to this and is considering requiring official government identity verification for access to certain products and events in Japan. This could come into effect by August and would rely on My Number Cards, which are Japan’s government issued ID cards for purchases.
“According to The Pokémon Company, the system will apply to priority product lotteries, sales of certain products on Pokémon Center Online, as well as participation in select official tournaments and events held within Japan.
As for how this will work, the company intends to have users authenticate their Trainer Club accounts by scanning their My Number Cards via smartphone using an external service. It promises not to acquire or store people’s personal ID numbers in the process.”

The latest version of the popular Gacha game Genshin Impact has apparently added Nintendo Switch to the in-game account login manager presumably meaning you can link your Nintendo Account to the game. The anime-inspired adventure would struggle to run on the original Nintendo Switch so this is most likely in relation to a Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game. Hoyoverse did say a few years back that the game would come to the Nintendo Switch, though this was likely scrapped in favour of its more powerful successor. An official announcement has yet to be made by Hoyoverse.
