A Costco store in California turned into a real fight ring after several adults were caught fighting over Pokémon cards.
A video of the incident was posted on social media showing several adults starting to fight over Nintendo game cards that had been placed on the shelves at the Atwater Village Costco in Los Angeles.
The incident took place on January 16 when the store put up rare card packs from the 151 Blooming Waters Premium Collection for sale. Normally, they sell for up to $150, but last week they were priced at under $60.
In the clip, which has already accumulated over 3 million views on X (formerly Twitter), a supposed reseller wearing a green jacket got involved in a fight with a younger man carrying two boxes in a dispute over the pack.
“This can’t be real,” said one user. “These men are old,” commented another. “This is so embarrassing,” wrote a third. “It’s interesting how, from time to time, Pokémon causes an uproar here and there,” reflected yet another user.
