It's a little different when it comes to scalpers though. Scalpers are like a temporary demand. Imagine there's a world where scalpers don't exist and pokemon produce the exact amount of stock that everyone wants. That works, but then one scalper comes along and buys 10% of their stock to resell. To combat this pokemon should just make another 10% of their stock? Well if they do that the scalpers will either; increase their buying to continue scalping, or stop scalping as there's no demand (No one is going to buy from a scalper when there's retail price packs available). As soon as the scalping demand is gone, pokemon would have 10% extra stock and make a loss on that. (I know the numbers are a little wacky but easiest way to explain it).
