A Manhattan card shop renamed itself after a robbery, prompting backlash over Nintendo’s sudden demand to drop "Poké" despite no prior notice.
A Manhattan card shop, The Poke Court, rebranded to The Trainer Court in February 2026 after being robbed in January, following a request from Nintendo over its name and Poké Ball logo.
The change came despite no prior communication from Nintendo, sparking criticism over the timing and ethics of enforcing intellectual property rights so soon after a traumatic event.
The store, which plans a Pokémon Day event on February 27 to mark the franchise’s 30th anniversary, maintains its dedication to the Pokémon community.
