A Rexburg, Idaho, man has created a dedicated Pokémon vending machine using a bulk card/sticker machine that accepts coins, according to an eastidahonews.com report. The machine sells Pokémon cards and stickers for 75 cents apiece.

Vitor Miranda, a marketing consultant originally from Brazil who graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho, got the idea after seeing a card vending machine at a Walmart store.

A longtime Pokémon fan, he filled the machine with Pokémon cards and stickers. He used his own Pokémon cards and got the stickers from Amazon.

So far, he has placed machines in two Rexburg businesses, Red 8 and El Rancho Taqueria.
