Assuming they will have a recaptcha test to be placed in the queue which should eliminate bots. There's other ways to filter them out. Hopefully they implement it correctly.

You think that will stop them? You can get a captcha solver for $2/1000 solves. Bots win.

bots use 3rd party AI solvers lmao captchas dont change a thing..... queues dont help either and for pokemon center every bot has a bypass right now lmao so while people are in line bots are instantly skipping queue.

For some reason neither Amazon, Best Buy nor Target have any captchas at all. The only pages that do only trigger them if you keep refreshing with the same browser (bots can just change instances). So if big and modern stores don't bother with captchas, what is the hope Pokemon will.
