Black Market is a simulation and casual indie title released for PC in January 2025. However, recent coverage appears to concern an illicit trading phenomenon within Pokemon Go rather than this game itself. Reports indicate that Niantic and Scopely have begun suspending Pokemon Go players caught obtaining rare creatures through unauthorized questline access, seemingly validating longstanding rumors of an underground market for these Pokemon. The enforcement action follows allegations that a Niantic employee previously sold rare Pokemon to players through black market channels, suggesting potential insider involvement in the scheme. The bans represent the companies' first major crackdown on this particular form of account manipulation.
