"BicCamera, based in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, is asking customers to answer a 15-question quiz before they can buy any Pokémon trading card game cards. This method is reportedly effective against scalpers, who are failing the tests and unable to purchase cards before genuine fans."
"Even after passing the quiz, customers are limited to one 30-pack box, and the store will cut the plastic wrap on booster boxes to make reselling more difficult. If anyone photographs the question sheet, the store will stop selling Pokémon cards entirely."
