Multiple videos have surfaced online of a crowd of people gathered around what appears to be a merchandise table, with several people reaching for more than one postcard, poster, or t-shirt among other items.

But all the hype has caused some issues more on that later. The card features Vincent's iconic 'Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat' painting — but redesigned with the loveable Pikachu mascot on the front who is wearing the hat instead. The Van Gogh Museum has since had to end the scavenger hunt promotion as of 14 October, and has stopped handing out these free cards to visitors over safety concerns. Thankfully, I was able to complete the scavenger hunt during my visit to the Van Gogh Museum and fill out the activity sheet for the Pikachu Promo card. It involved answering questions about the exhibit, as well as fun Pokemon and Vincent Van Gogh trivia, though some questions were tricky. Upon leaving the Van Gogh Museum, we queued up outside to hand in our activity sheets, but our answers were not checked at all by the person in the kiosk, and we didn't get to keep the activity sheet as a souvenir, which I was hoping for. We were given the cards and shooed away. Myself and my partner were then heckled by several people behind the barriers as we left, shouting and calling us over to sell them the rare Pikachu Promo cards we had just received. We of course didn't indulge in this, but it goes to show the power of brand collaboration in producing something so rare and desirable. I asked one of the gift shop workers if any of the merchandise would be available online, to which they laughed a little, shrugged, and said "I honestly don't know. Everything is on eBay". Another worker told me they hadn't replenished stock since after the first opening day, with nothing out back or in storage, and no extra merch deliveries planned for the coming weeks.

Pokemon has never been shy about crossing over with other brands for promotional events. You'd think that more than 25 years in, it would be running out of options when it comes to fresh collaborations. On the one hand, you might think that's the case when it's teaming up with something as left field as the Van Gogh Museum. However, the buzz that crossover has generated proves Pokemon can make money by teaming up with just about anything. The first rollout of stock resulted in the Van Gogh Museum being mobbed as fans attempted to be among the few who'd get the free promotional Pikachu card. The situation was so serious that Pokemon announced shortly afterward that the card would no longer be available at the museum.

Honestly, it seems that what we experienced was relatively tame in comparison to these events. It's pretty unjustified to know that fans can't get a hold of unique and artistic event merchandise not only at the museum itself but from buying online without having to pay unfair and extortionate scalper prices.
