AGENT POKE5 cases documented — updated as new evidence emerges
The flagship Pokémon GO event in Chicago descended into chaos as servers collapsed, players were locked out, and thousands who had traveled from across the country were left with nothing to show for it.
A sealed 1st Edition Pokémon booster box sold for $3.5 million in a live YouTube event turned out to be stuffed with G.I. Joe cards — one of the most expensive and publicly humiliating TCG frauds ever recorded.
During the 2021 NFT boom, dozens of Pokémon-branded crypto projects implied official licensing they never had — then vanished with millions in investor funds in a wave of coordinated rug pulls.
Forged PSA and BGS graded card slabs containing fake Pokémon cards began circulating on eBay and secondary markets — some sold for tens of thousands of dollars before the circuit was identified.
Nine years of fan development, 1.5 million downloads in two weeks, and then nothing — Nintendo's legal action against Pokémon Uranium became the defining case in fan-game copyright enforcement.
