I think this answers your worries; Pokemon ended the bot phase in 2020. Scalpers were public enemy #1. Less than 2 years later, that is resolved. Pokemon not only printed more product, they are actively buying more printers. Botting is more of a company & supply issue. In the case of sneakers, they are choosing to release limited product. That strategy creates free marketing noise. Pokemon has already proven multiple times they will increase supply to meet that demand. They did it in 2017, and are doing it now.
