Today’s Question:
QotD: What would make the pokemoncenter queue better?

Helpful considerations: Google style minigames? More animations? A status bar showing place in line? No queue, no wait, more product, and these questions are beginning to tire me?

Make the captcha to get into the pokemon center, pokemon related like “which of these are ice types?”, etc, and have 5 slides. The faster you answer the faster you get into queue. The more accurate determines how much farther ahead you get placed in the CURRENT queue.

Instead of a queue to just get into the site, how about the site is live for everyone and you buy what you want. Afterwards you get an email stating if any orders actually went through or not

I think the best way is gonna be the new PKC Japan method. Register with an ID. All drops are a lottery. Emails go out. Unsold product is sent out in another lottery and repeats. Pain in the butt? Sure, but infinitely better than this.

Only if I get to bet with Dogecoin on how many times the CEO of TPCI says the word “Shortage” in their next public address.

I would really just like to not be pushed back into the queue while I’m adding things to my cart
