This place allows players to harass other players. Which is…read morenot allowed by pokemons rules of play. When I asked the owner about it he showed zero signs of compassion or concern he only cares about his shop. My son who has a learning disability and emotionally impaired left 15 minutes after starting a game here from being harassed by one of the long time players here . I don't recommend anyone playing or shopping here. Especially after seeing how the owner is. He needs psychological help. Especially running a shop for kids. My son started walking home and this place is in a really rough neighborhood while carrying a couple thousand dollars of Pokemon collection in his backpack. Don't come here it's very very schweaty play and the owner has the personality of a card scalper

I reached out to the store through their website's text option and asked if they would have the…read moreUnion Arena: Goddess of Victory NIKKE boxes available during the official Nov 21-27 release event period. The staff replied: "We will have the boxes available." Based on that confirmation, I made the trip. When I arrived, I was told their shipment was still being unpacked, so I waited in the area. After everything was sorted, I was informed that NIKKE wasn't part of the shipment at all -- not delayed, not street-dated, simply not included, which directly contradicted the message they sent me earlier. I understand shipments can be incomplete. The issue was being told the product would be available during the event period and only finding out the opposite after waiting around. I'm leaving this review so other customers know to double-check availability before making the drive. (Screenshot of the store's confirmation included.)

I dreaded coming here because the last time I was with a friend at a card show (it was at a mall),…read moreit was 2 of the most boring hours of my life and all he did was browse and bought a few Magic the Gathering cards. But yesterday, I went to Pandemonium w/ my husband and 2 sons. We went over to the Pokémon section, and I was amazed. First of all, I couldn't believe my older son, who's 8, totally held his own and knew what he was talking about asking to look at cards from different types of sets and versions of different values, etc. My youngest son, who's 6, was doing pretty well himself. But the thing that impressed me the most is that, the Pokémon guru, Trevor, did not talk down to my kids and try to scam them out of money. I don't know if it's because my husband and I were standing there, but all I saw were very professional transactions, ending with an official agreement-binding handshake. My husband and I were basically only there to show support towards their strong interest in something specific and would've only jumped in if things went completely sideways, but I got a feeling they would've been treated with the same respect if we weren't there, especially since my kids know what they're talking about. I'm so proud of them and so impressed with Trevor and the store in general that when my kids get older, I would be happy to drop them off for a couple of hours to battle with others while I go get some peace and quiet somewhere else.

I used to love going to this store when Trevor was there in charge of the Pokemon selection, but…read moresince then they have not maintained their collection of singles. Some of the employees are amazing, such as Little Mike, but some come off as rude and standoffish. Their trade in values are bad, but they will almost buy anything. It is a very large store with a great selection of other non-pokemon items. I want to keep giving them a chance, but I'm not always sure it's worth the trip.
